Guidance for Conducting Technical 

Analyses for Low-Level Radioactive 

Waste Disposal 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft NUREG; request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft NUREG, NUREG–2175, 

‘‘Guidance for Conducting Technical 

Analyses for 10 CFR part 61.’’ The NRC 

is proposing to amend its regulations 

that govern low-level radioactive waste 

(LLRW) disposal facilities to require 

new and revised site-specific technical 

analyses, to permit the development of 

site-specific criteria for LLRW 

acceptance based on the results of these 

analyses, and to facilitate 

implementation and better align the 

requirements with current health and 

safety standards. The NRC has prepared 

draft guidance to address the 

implementation of the proposed 

regulations. This notice is announcing 

the availability of the draft guidance for 

public comment. 

DATES: Submit comments by July 24, 

2015. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods (unless 

this document describes a different 

method for submitting comments on a 

specific subject): 

• Federal Rulemaking Web site: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov and search 

for Docket ID NRC–2015–0003. The 

proposed amendments to the NRC 

LLRW regulations are issued in a

2011–0012. Address questions about 

NRC dockets to Carol Gallagher; 

telephone: 301–287–3422; email:

II. Discussion 

The guidance for conducting 

technical analyses for part 61 of Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), NUREG–2175, provides guidance 

on conducting technical analyses (i.e., 

performance assessment, inadvertent 

intruder assessment, assessment of the 

stability of a LLRW disposal site, 

defense-in-depth analyses, protective 

assurance period analyses, and 

performance period analyses) to 

demonstrate compliance with the 

performance objectives in the proposed 

10 CFR part 61, ‘‘Licensing 

Requirements for Land Disposal of 

Radioactive Waste.’’ This guidance 

should facilitate licensees’ 

implementation of the proposed 

amendments as well as assist regulatory 

authorities in reviewing the technical 

analyses. This guidance applies to all 

waste streams disposed of at a 10 CFR 

part 61 LLRW disposal facility, 

including large quantities of depleted 

uranium and blended waste. 

NUREG–2175 provides detailed 

guidance in new areas, such as the 

inadvertent intruder analysis, defensein-depth analyses, and analyses for the 

three phases of the analysis timeframe 

(compliance period, protective 

assurance period, and performance 

period). This guidance discusses the use 

of a graded level of effort needed to riskinform the analyses for the compliance 

period (1,000 years), the protective 

assurance period (from 1,000 years to 

10,000 years after disposal site closure), 

and also covers the performance period 

analyses that should be performed for 

analysis of long-lived waste beyond 

10,000 years. Additional topics covered 

in this document include: (1) 

Demonstration that radiation doses are 

minimized to the extent reasonably 

achievable; (2) identification and 

screening of the features, events, and 

processes to develop scenarios for 

technical analyses; (3) use of the waste 

classification tables or the results of the 

technical analyses to develop sitespecific waste acceptance criteria; and 

(4) use of performance confirmation to 

evaluate and verify the accuracy of 

information used to demonstrate 

compliance prior to site closure. 

III. Proposed Rulemaking 

On May 3, 2011, the NRC published 

preliminary proposed rule language (76 

FR 24831), ‘‘Part 61: Site Specific 

Analyses for Demonstrating Compliance 

with Subpart C Performance Objectives’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML111150205). 

As a result of additional direction from 

the Commission in staff requirement 

memoranda (SRM)–COMWDM–11– 

0002/COMGEA–11–0002, ‘‘Revisions to 

Part 61,’’ dated January 19, 2012 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML120190360), 

the NRC staff published a second 

version of the preliminary proposed rule 

language (77 FR 72997; December 7, 

2012), ‘‘November 2012 Preliminary 

Rule Language for Proposed Revisions 

to Low-Level Waste Disposal 

Requirements (10 CFR part 61)’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. 

ML12311A444). Based on comments 

received, the NRC published in the 

Proposed Rules section of this issue of 

the Federal Register a third version of 

the proposed rule language. Documents 

related to the proposed rule, including 

public comments, are available on the 

Federal rulemaking Web site at http://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

NRC–2011–0012. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day 

of February 2015.
