Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. This Chapter uses the following special
				  definitions.
Agreement State
-a state that has entered
					 into an agreement with the NRC under Section 274. b of the Atomic Energy Act of
					 1954 (AEA), as amended (68 Stat. 919), to assume responsibility for regulating
					 within its borders by-product, source, or special nuclear material in
					 quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.
Certified Delivery
-certified mail with
					 return receipt requested, equivalent courier service, or other means that
					 provides the sender with a receipt confirming delivery.
Eligible Naturally Occurring and
/
					 or Accelerator-Produced Radioactive Material (NARM)
-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 LAC 33:XV.Chapters 3 and 13, NRC, or NRC agreement state equivalent
					 regulations.
Exempted Waste
-a waste that meets the
					 eligibility criteria in LAC 33:V.4205 and meets all of the conditions in LAC
					 33:V.4207 or meets the eligibility criteria in LAC 33:V.4223 and complies with
					 all the conditions in LAC 33:V.4225. Such waste is conditionally exempted from
					 the regulatory definition of hazardous waste described in LAC 33:V.109.
Hazardous Waste
-any material that is
					 defined to be hazardous waste in accordance with LAC 33:V.109, definition of
hazardous waste
.
Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) Treatment
					 Standards
-treatment standards, under LAC 33:V.Chapter 22, that a RCRA
					 hazardous waste must meet before it can be disposed of in a RCRA hazardous
					 waste land disposal unit.
License
-a license issued by the
					 department, NRC, or a NRC agreement state to users that manage radionuclides
					 regulated by the department, NRC, or NRC agreement states under authority of
					 the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (see LAC 33:XV.102).
Low-Level Mixed Waste (LLMW)
-a waste that
					 contains both low-level radioactive waste and RCRA hazardous waste.
Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW)
-a
					 radioactive waste that is not classified as high-level radioactive waste,
					 transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel, or by-product material, as defined in
					 Section 11e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act (see also the definition of
waste
at LAC 33:XV.102).
Mixed Waste
-a waste that contains both
					 RCRA hazardous waste and source, special nuclear, or by-product material
					 subject to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
NRC
-the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory
					 Commission.
Naturally Occurring and
/ or
					 Accelerator-Produced Radioactive Material (NARM)
-radioactive materials
					 that are:
a. naturally occurring and are not source, special nuclear,
					 or by-product materials, as defined by the AEA; or
b. produced by an accelerator. NARM is regulated by the
					 states under state law or by Department of Energy (DOE), as authorized by the
					 AEA under DOE orders.
We
or
Us

, as defined in
					 LAC 33:V.109. Within this Chapter, the administrative authority is the Office
					 of Environmental Services, unless otherwise indicated.
