				area, from the source of radiation, to be reduced below that at which it would
				be possible for an individual to receive a deep dose equivalent in excess of 1
				mSv (0.1 rem) in 1 hour; and
C)
				Prevent operation of the source of radiation if it would produce radiation
				levels in the area that could result in a deep dose equivalent to an individual

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 340 - STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION › Subpart K - WASTE DISPOSAL › Section 340.1052 - Classification of Radioactive Waste for Land Disposal

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Considerations. Determination of the
				classification of radioactive waste involves two considerations. First,
				consideration must be given to the concentration of long-lived radionuclides
				(and their shorter-lived precursors) whose potential hazard will persist long
				after such precautions as institutional controls, improved waste form and
				deeper disposal have ceased to be effective. These precautions delay the time
				when long-lived radionuclides could cause exposures. In addition, the magnitude
				of the potential dose is limited by the concentration and availability of the
				radionuclide at the time of exposure. Second, consideration must be given to
				the concentration of shorter-lived radionuclides for which requirements on
				institutional controls, waste form and disposal methods are
				effective.
b) Classes of waste.
1) Class A waste is waste that is usually
				segregated from other waste classes at the disposal site. The physical form and
				characteristics of Class A waste must meet the minimum requirements set forth
				in Section
				340.1055(a)
				of this Part. If Class A waste also meets the stability requirements set forth
				in Section
				340.1055(b)
				of this Part, it is not necessary to segregate the waste for
				disposal.
2) Class B waste is waste
				that must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to ensure stability (as
				defined in 32 Ill. Adm. Code
				601.20 ) after
				disposal. The physical form and characteristics of Class B waste must meet both
				the minimum and stability requirements set forth in Section
				340.1055
				of this Part.
3) Class C waste is
				waste that not only must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to
				ensure stability but also requires additional measures at the disposal facility
				to protect against inadvertent intrusion. The physical form and characteristics
				of Class C waste must meet both the minimum and stability requirements set
				forth in Section
				340.1055
				of this Part.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 340 - STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION › Subpart K - WASTE DISPOSAL › Section 340.1055 - Radioactive Waste Characteristics

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The following are minimum requirements for
				all classes of waste and are intended to facilitate handling and provide
				protection of health and safety of personnel at the disposal site.
1) Wastes shall be packaged in conformance
				with the conditions of the license issued to the site operator to which the
				waste will be shipped. Where the conditions of the site license are more
				restrictive than the provisions of this Part, the site license conditions shall
				govern.
2) Wastes shall not be
				packaged for disposal in cardboard or fiberboard boxes.
3) Liquid waste shall be packaged in
				sufficient absorbent material to absorb twice the volume of the
				liquid.
4) Solid waste containing
				liquid shall contain as little free-standing and non-corrosive liquid as is
				reasonably achievable, but in no case shall the liquid exceed 1% of the
				volume.
5) Waste shall not be
				readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or reaction at
				normal pressures and temperatures, or of explosive reaction with
				water.
6) Waste shall not contain,
				or be capable of generating, quantities of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes
				harmful to persons transporting, handling, or disposing of the waste. This does
				not apply to radioactive gaseous waste packaged in accordance with subsection
				(a)(8).
7) Waste must not be
				pyrophoric. Pyrophoric materials contained in wastes shall be treated,
				prepared, and packaged to be nonflammable.
8) Wastes in a gaseous form shall be packaged
				at an absolute pressure that does not exceed
				1.5 atmospheres at 20°C
				(68°F). Total activity shall not exceed 100 Ci per container.
9) Wastes containing hazardous, biological,
				pathogenic, or infectious material shall be treated to reduce to the maximum
				extent practicable the potential hazard from the non-radiological
				materials.
