Title: ●Disposal of Unique Waste Streams [NRC-2011-0012] 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require operating and future low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities to conduct a performance assessment and an intruder assessment, to demonstrate compliance with performance objectives in 10 CFR part 61 to enhance safe disposal of low-level radioactive waste. These analyses will identify any additional measures that would enhance adequate protection of public health and safety. The NRC is also proposing additional changes to the current regulations to reduce ambiguity, facilitate implementation, and to better align the requirements with current health and safety standards. This rule would affect existing and future low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities that are regulated by the NRC and the Agreement States.
