d 1.113, should be used to make dose calculations. When calculating organ doses from airborne effluents, contributions from I-131, I-133, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives greater than 8 days should be included in the assessment. 6. Solid Radioactive Waste Shipped for Processing or Disposal Solid radioactive waste shipments should be reported in a format similar to that of Table A-3 in Appendix A to this guide. The data should be divided by waste classification and by the waste stream categories listed in Table A-3. The waste streams are (1) resins, filters, and evaporator bottoms, (2) dry active waste, (3) irradiated components, and (4) other waste. The data reported should be for the low-level waste (LLW) volumes shipped from a plant site for waste processing or disposal (not the radioactive waste volumes that are ultimately buried). Rev. 2 of RG 1.21, Page 32 Note: Data on LLW disposed in licensed LLW disposal facilities is available using the Manifest Information Management System (MIMS) operated by the Department of Energy. There are no requirements for reporting storage of LLW at nuclear power plants. However, LLW storage records are maintained at nuclear plants and are available for NRC inspection during routine effluent inspections. Shipments that do not need to be reported include shipments of metal melt, contaminated equipment for transfer between licensees or equipment for refurbishment, contaminated laundry (either launderable or dissolvable), or radioactive samples for analysis. Potentially contaminated dry active waste sent for resurvey and segregation (sometimes referred to as “green is clean”) does not need to be reported. Equipment shipped for decontamination and free release does not need to be reported. However, records of these types of shipments should be maintained on site. The total curie quantity and major radionuclides in the solid waste shipped off site should be determined and reported in a format similar
