Current through June, 2024
This subpart uses the following special
						  definitions:
Agreement State
means a state that has
						  entered into an agreement with the NRC under subsection 274b of the Atomic
						  Energy Act of 1954, as amended (68 Stat. 919), to assume responsibility for
						  regulating within its borders byproduct, source, or special nuclear material in
						  quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.
Certified delivery
means certified
						  mail with return receipt requested, or equivalent courier service, or other
						  means, that provides the sender with a receipt confirming delivery.
Director
refers to the definition in
						  40
						  CFR 270.2.
Eligible Naturally Occurring and/or
						  Accelerator-produced Radioactive Material (NARM)
is NARM that is
						  eligible for the Transportation and Disposal Conditional Exemption. It is a
						  NARM waste that contains RCRA hazardous waste, meets the waste acceptance
						  criteria of, and is allowed by State NARM regulations to be disposed of at a
						  low-level radioactive waste disposal facility (LLRWDF) licensed in accordance
						  with 10 CFR part 61 or NRC Agreement State equivalent regulations.
Exempted waste
means a waste that
						  meets the eligibility criteria in 266.225 and meets all of the conditions in
						  § 266.230, or meets the eligibility criteria in
						  40
						  CFR 266.310 and complies with all the
						  conditions in § 266.315. Such waste is conditionally exempted from the
						  regulatory definition of hazardous waste described in
						  40 CFR
						  261.3.
Hazardous Waste
means any material
						  which is defined to be hazardous waste in accordance with
						  40 CFR
						  261.3, "Definition of Hazardous
						  Waste."
Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) Treatment
						  Standards
means treatment standards, under 40 CFR part 268 , that a
						  RCRA hazardous waste must meet before it can be disposed of in a RCRA hazardous
						  waste land disposal unit.
License
means a license issued by the
						  Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC Agreement State, to users that manage
						  radionuclides regulated by NRC, or NRC Agreement States, under authority of the
						  Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Low-Level Mixed Waste (LLMW)
is a
						  waste that contains both low-level radioactive waste and RCRA hazardous
						  waste.
Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLW)
is a
						  radioactive waste which contains source, special nuclear, or byproduct
						  material, and which is not classified as high-level radioactive waste,
						  transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel, or byproduct material as defined in
						  section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act. (See also NRC definition of "waste"
						  at 10 CFR 61.2)
Mixed Waste
means a waste that
						  contains both RCRA hazardous waste and source, special nuclear, or byproduct
						  material subject to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Naturally Occurring and/or Accelerator-produced
						  Radioactive Material (NARM)
means radioactive materials that:
(1) Are naturally occurring and are not source, special
						  nuclear, or byproduct materials (as defined by the AEA) or
(2) Are produced by an accelerator. NARM is regulated
						  by the States under State law, or by DOE (as authorized by the AEA) under DOE
						  orders.
NRC
means the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory
						  Commission.
We
or
us
within this
						  subpart, means the Director as defined in
						  40
						  CFR 270.2.
You
means a generator, treater, or
						  other handler of low-level mixed waste or eligible NARM.
