Abstract:
PROPOSED RULE: 10 CFR PARTS 20 AND 61, LOW-LEVEL RADIATION WASTE DISPOSAL The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to require LLRW disposal facilities to conduct site-specific technical analyses to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives of 10 CFR part 61. The intent of the rule is to ensure performance objectives are met at disposal sites for safe disposal of LLRW that was not analyzed in the original 10 CFR part 61 regulatory basis (i.e., large quantities of depleted uranium). The site-specific technical analyses would include compliance period analyses with both a performance assessment and an intruder assessment, analyses for the protective assurance period that include both a performance assessment and an intruder assessment, performance period analyses to evaluate how the disposal system could mitigate the risk from long-lived LLRW, new analyses that demonstrate the disposal site includes defense-in-depth protections, and an LLRW acceptance plan identifying the WAC for the disposal facility. In addition, licensees must review their LLRW acceptance plan annually and update the safety case and analyses as part of the application for closure. The NRC Forms 540 and 541 would be updated to allow licensees to indicate the use of LLRW acceptance criteria.
