INTRODUCTION The objective of this technical position is to provide guidance to licensees considering additional onsite low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) storage capabilities. While it may be prudent and/or necessary to establish additional onsite storage capability, waste should not be placed in contingency storage if it can be disposed readily at a licensed disposal site. Shipping waste at the earliest practicable time minimizes the need for eventual waste reprocessing caused by potential changes in a disposal facility’s requirements, reduces occupational and non- occupational exposures and potential accident consequences, and, in the event of burial ground closure, maximizes the amount of storage space available for use. The duration of the intended storage, the type and form of waste, and the amount of radioactive material present will dictate the safeguards and the level of complexity required to assure
