			 program sufficient to ensure compliance with the provisions of these
			 regulations.
(b) Each licensee or
			 registrant shall use, to the extent practicable, procedures and engineering
			 controls based upon sound radiation protection principles to achieve
			 occupational doses and public doses that are as low as is reasonably achievable

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11,
			 2024
(a) Classification
			 of waste for near surface disposal. In classifying radiation waste,
			 consideration shall 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. Consideration shall also be given
			 to the concentration of short-lived radionuclides for which requirements on
			 institutional controls, waste form, and disposal methods are efficient.
(b) Classes of waste.
(1) "Class A waste" is waste that is
			 segregated from other waste classes at the disposal site. The physical form and
			 characteristics of class A waste shall meet the minimum requirements set forth
			 in K.A.R 28-35-223c(a). If class A waste also meets the stability requirements
			 set forth in K.A.R. 28-35-223c(b), the requirement that such wastes be
			 separated shall be waived.
(2)
			 "Class B waste" is waste that must meet more rigorous requirements as to waste
			 form to insure stability after disposal. The physical form and characteristics
			 of class B waste shall meet both the minimum and stability requirements set
			 forth in K.A.R. 28-35-223c.
(3)
			 "Class C waste" is waste that must meet more rigorous requirements as to waste
			 form to insure stability and that also requires additional measures at the
			 disposal facility to protect against inadvertent intrusion. The physical form
			 and characteristics of class C waste shall meet both the minimum and stability
			 requirements set forth in K.S.A. 28-35-223c.
(4) "Waste that is not generally acceptable
			 for near-surface disposal" is waste for which waste form and disposal methods
			 must be different, and in general more stringent, than those specified for
			 class C wastes. In the absence of specific requirements in this part, proposals
			 for disposal of this waste may be submitted to the department for approval.

(a) The following
			 requirements shall be the minimum requirements for all classes of waste:
(1) Radioactive wastes shall be packaged in
			 conformance with the conditions of the license issued to the site operator to
			 which the waste will be shipped. If the conditions of the site license are more
			 restrictive than the provisions of these regulations, 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 wastes 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 temperatures and
			 pressures, 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 requirement shall not
			 apply to radioactive gaseous waste packaged in accordance with paragraph (8) of
			 this subsection.
(7) Waste shall
			 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 a pressure that does not exceed 1.5 atmospheres at 20°C. Total
			 activity shall not exceed 100 curies 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.
