				  allow access to the radioactive waste only through established access control
				  points;
(2) use a locked door or
				  gate with monitored alarm at the access control point;
(3) assess and respond to each actual or
				  attempted unauthorized access to determine whether an actual or attempted
				  theft, sabotage, or diversion occurred; and

Annual Limits on Intake (ALI) and Derived Air Concentrations (DAC) of Radionuclides for Occupational Exposure; Effluent Concentrations; Concentrations for Release to Sanitary Sewerage

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Introduction.
				  For each radionuclide, Table I indicates the chemical form that is to be used
				  for selecting the appropriate ALI or DAC value. The ALIs and DACs for
				  inhalation are given for an aerosol with an activity median aerodynamic
				  diameter (AMAD) of 1 micrometer and for three classes (D,W,Y) of radioactive
				  material, which refer to their retention (approximately days, weeks, or years)
				  in the pulmonary region of the lung. This classification applies to a range of
				  clearance half-times for D of less than 10 days, for W from 10 to 100 days, and
				  for Y greater than 100 days.
(1) The class
				  (D, W, or Y) given in the column headed "Class" applies only to the inhalation
				  ALIs and DACs given in Table I, Columns 2 and 3. Table II provides
				  concentration limits for airborne and liquid effluents released to the general
				  environment. Table III provides concentration limits for discharges to sanitary
				  sewerage.
(2) The values in Tables
				  I, II, and III are presented in the computer "E" notation. In this notation, a
				  value of 6E-02 represents a value of 6 x 10-2 or
				  0.06, 6E+2 represents 6 x 102 or 600, and 6E+0
				  represents 6 x 100 or 6. Values are given in units
				  of microcuries (µCi) or microcuries per milliliter (µCi/ml), as
				  indicated.

Requirements for Receipt of Low-Level Radioactive Waste for Disposal at Licensed Land Disposal Facilities and Uniform Manifests

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Manifest
				  requirements for shipments received at licensed land disposal facilities.
(1) Manifest forms required.
(A) The operator of a licensed low-level
				  radioactive waste land disposal facility shall not receive for disposal any
				  waste which does not have a completed manifest which reflects the information
				  requested on applicable United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Forms
				  540 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper)) and 541
				  (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Container and Waste
				  Description)) and, if necessary, on an applicable NRC Form 542 (Uniform
				  Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Manifest Index and Regional Compact
				  Tabulation)), as those forms and requirements are prescribed in 10 Code of
				  Federal Regulations (CFR) §61.80, as amended (relating to Licensing
				  Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste) and
				  10 CFR
				  §20.2006, as amended (relating to
				  Standards for Protection Against Radiation). The NRC Forms 540 and 540A must be
				  completed and must physically accompany the waste shipment received at the
				  licensed land disposal facility. Upon agreement between the shipper and the
				  licensed land disposal facility, NRC Forms 541 and 541A and 542 and 542A may be
				  completed, transmitted, and stored in electronic media with the capability for
				  producing legible, accurate, and complete records on the respective
				  forms.
(B) Copies of manifests
				  required by this appendix may be legible carbon copies, photocopies, or
				  computer printouts that reproduce the data in the format of the uniform
				  manifest.
(C) This appendix
				  includes information requirements of the United States Department of
				  Transportation (DOT), as codified in 49 CFR Part 172. Specific information on
				  hazardous, medical, or other waste that is required to meet EPA rules, as
				  codified in 40 CFR Parts 259, 261, or elsewhere, is not addressed in this
				  appendix and must be provided on the required EPA forms. However, the required
				  EPA forms must accompany the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest
				  required by this appendix.
