        <RULE_TITLE>Disposal of Unique Waste Streams [NRC-2011-0012]</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR part 61 to require new and revised site-specific analyses to ensure that waste streams that are significantly different in terms of radiological characteristics (e.g., half-life) from those considered in the current technical basis can continue to be disposed of safely and still meet the performance objectives.  These changes would revise the existing site-specific analysis for protection of the general population to include a 10,000-year compliance period (i.e., performance assessment); add a new site-specific analysis for the protection of inadvertent intruders that would also include a 10,000-year compliance period and a dose limit (i.e., intruder assessment); add a new long-term-post-10,000 years-analysis for long-lived waste (i.e., long-term analyses); and revise the pre-closure analyses to include updates to the performance assessment, intruder assessment, and long-term analyses.  The proposed rule would also include changes to the regulations to reduce ambiguity, facilitate implementation, and better align the requirements with current health and safety standards.  This rule would affect low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facilities that are regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Agreement States.  The NRC has publishing a second version of preliminary rule language and has revised the regulatory basis document that will support this rulemaking]]></ABSTRACT>
