Current through June 24, 2024
In this subchapter:
(1) "Agreement state" means a state that has
					 entered into an agreement with the NRC under
					 42 USC
					 2021(b), to assume
					 responsibility for regulating within its borders byproduct, source or special
					 nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical
					 mass.
(2) "Certified delivery"
					 means certified mail with return receipt requested, or equivalent courier
					 service, or other means, which provides the sender with a receipt confirming
					 delivery.
(3) "Eligible naturally
					 occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive material" or "eligible NARM" is
					 NARM that is eligible for the transportation and disposal conditional
					 exemption. It is a NARM waste that contains hazardous waste, meets the waste
					 acceptance criteria of, and is allowed by state NARM rules to be disposed of at
					 a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility licensed according to 10 CFR
					 part 61 or NRC agreement state equivalent rules.
(4) "Exempted waste" means a waste that meets
					 the eligibility criteria in s.
					 NR
					 666.225 and meets all of the conditions in s.
					 NR
					 666.230, or meets the eligibility criteria in s.
					 NR
					 666.310 and complies with all of the conditions in s.
					 NR
					 666.315. That waste is conditionally exempted from the
					 regulatory definition of hazardous waste described in s. NR 661.0003.
(5) "Hazardous waste" means any material
					 which is defined to be hazardous waste in accordance with s. NR
					 661.0003.
(6) "Land disposal
					 restriction treatment standards" or "LDR treatment standards" means treatment
					 standards under ch. NR 668, which a hazardous waste must meet before it can be
					 disposed of in a hazardous waste land disposal unit.
(7) "License" means a license issued by the
					 nuclear regulatory commission, or NRC agreement state, to users that manage
					 radionuclides regulated by NRC, or NRC agreement states, under authority of
					 42 USC
					 2011 to 2297.
(8) "Low-level mixed waste" or "LLMW" is a
					 waste that contains both low-level radioactive waste and hazardous
					 waste.
(9) "Low-level radioactive
					 waste" or "LLRW" is a radioactive waste which contains source, special nuclear
					 or byproduct material, and which is not classified as high-level radioactive
					 waste, transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel or byproduct material as defined
					 in 42 USC
					 2014(e)(2). (See also NRC
					 definition of "waste" at
					 10
					 CFR 61.2 )
(10) "Mixed waste" means a waste that
					 contains both hazardous waste and source, special nuclear or byproduct material
					 subject to
					 42 USC
					 2011 to 2297.
(11) "Naturally occurring or
					 accelerator-produced radioactive material" or "NARM" means radioactive
					 materials that are either of the following:
(a) Naturally occurring and not source,
					 special nuclear or byproduct materials (as defined by
					 42 USC
					 2011 to 2297 ).
(b) Produced by an accelerator. NARM is
					 regulated by the states under state law, or by the U.S. department of energy
					 (DOE) (as authorized by
					 42 USC
					 2011 to 2297 ) under DOE
					 orders.
