Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Rules 3745-266-210 to
				3745-266-355
				of the Administrative Code use the following special definitions:
(A) "Agreement State" means a state that has
			 entered into an agreement with the U.S. nuclear regulatory commission (NRC)
			 under Subsection 274(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), to assume
			 responsibility for regulating within that state's borders by-product material,
			 source material, or special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to
			 form a critical mass.
(B)
			 "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.
(C)
			 "Eligible NARM" is naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive
			 material (NARM) that is eligible for the transportation and disposal
			 conditional exemption. Eligible NARM is a NARM waste that contains 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 (LLW) disposal
			 facility licensed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 61 or NRC "Agreement State"
			 equivalent regulations.
(D)
			 "Exempted waste" means a waste that meets the eligibility criteria in paragraph
			 (B) of rule

(G) "Low-level mixed waste"or "LLMW" is a
			 waste that contains both low-level radioactive waste and hazardous
			 waste.
(H) "Low-level radioactive
			 waste" or "LLW" is a radioactive waste which contains "source material,"
			 special material," or "by-product material" as defined by the AEA, and which is
			 not classified as "high-level radioactive waste," "transuranic waste," "spent
			 nuclear fuel," or "by-product material" as defined by the AEA. (See also NRC
			 definition of "waste" at
			 10
			 CFR 61.2) .
(I) "Mixed waste" means a waste that contains
			 both hazardous waste and source material, special nuclear material, or
			 by-product material subject to the AEA.
(J) "Naturally occurring or
			 accelerator-produced radioactive material" or "NARM" means radioactive
			 materials that are either:
(1)
									Naturally occurring and are not
			 "source material," "special nuclear material," or "by-product material" as
			 defined by the AEA; or
(2)
									Produced by an accelerator. NARM is regulated by the
			 states under state law, or by the department of energy (DOE) (as authorized by
			 the AEA) under DOE orders.
