and thorium in source material.
(7) Disposal container and waste information. The shipper
of the LLRW shall provide the following information on the uniform
manifest regarding the waste and each disposal container of waste
in the shipment:
(A) an alphabetic or numeric identification that uniquely
identifies each disposal container in the shipment;
(B) a physical description of the disposal container,
including the manufacturer and model of any high integrity container;
(C) the volume displaced by the disposal container;
(D) the gross weight of the disposal container, including
the waste;
(E) for waste consigned to a disposal facility, the
maximum radiation level at the surface of each disposal container;
(F) a physical and chemical description of the waste;
(G) the total weight percentage of chelating agent
for any waste containing more than 0.1 percent chelating agent by
weight, plus the identity of the principal chelating agent;
(H) the approximate volume of waste within a container;
(I) the sorbing or solidification media, if any, and
the identity of the solidification media vendor and brand name;
(J) the identities and activities of individual radionuclides
contained in each container, the masses of uranium-233, uranium-235,
and plutonium in special nuclear material, and the masses of uranium
and thorium in source material. For discrete waste types (i.e., activated
materials, contaminated equipment, mechanical filters, sealed source/devices,
and wastes in solidification/stabilization media), the identities
and activities of individual radionuclides associated with or contained
on these waste types within a disposal container shall be reported;
(K) the total radioactivity within each container;
and
(L) for wastes consigned to a disposal facility, the
classification of the waste in accordance with §289.202(ggg)(4)(A)
of this title. Waste not meeting the structural stability requirements
of §289.202(ggg)(4)(B)(ii) of this title shall be identified.
(8) Uncontainerized waste information. The shipper
of the LLRW shall provide the following information on the uniform
manifest regarding a waste shipment delivered without a disposal container:
(A) the approximate volume and weight of the waste;
(B) a physical and chemical description of the waste;
(C) the total weight percentage of chelating agent
if the chelating agent exceeds 0.1 percent by weight, plus the identity
of the principal chelating agent;
(D) for waste consigned to a disposal facility, the
classification of the waste in accordance with §289.202(ggg)(4)(A)
of this title. Waste not meeting the structural stability requirements
of §289.202(ggg)(4)(B)(ii) of this title shall be identified;
(E) the identities and activities of individual radionuclides
contained in the waste, the masses of uranium-233, uranium-235, and
plutonium in special nuclear material, and the masses of uranium and
thorium in source material; and
(F) for wastes consigned to a disposal facility, the
maximum radiation levels at the surface of the waste.
(9) Multi-generator disposal container information.
This paragraph applies to disposal containers enclosing mixtures of
waste originating from different generators. (Note: The origin of
the LLRW resulting from a processor's activities may be attributable
to one or more generators (including waste generators) as defined
in this section). It also applies to mixtures of wastes shipped in
an uncontainerized form, for which portions of the mixture within
the shipment originate from different generators.
(A) For homogeneous mixtures of waste, such as incinerator
ash, provide the waste description applicable to the mixture and the
volume of the waste attributed to each generator.
(B) For heterogeneous mixtures of waste, such as the
combined products from a large compactor, identify each generator
contributing waste to the disposal container, and, for discrete waste
types (i.e., activated materials, contaminated equipment, mechanical
filters, sealed source/devices, and wastes in solidification/stabilization
media), the identities and activities of individual radionuclides
contained on these waste types within the disposal container. For
each generator, provide the following:
(i) the volume of waste within the disposal container;
(ii) a physical and chemical description of the waste,
including the solidification agent, if any;
(iii) the total weight percentage of chelating agents
for any disposal container containing more than 0.1 percent chelating
agent by weight, plus the identity of the principal chelating agent;
(iv) the sorbing or solidification media, if any, and
the identity of the solidification media vendor and brand name if
the media is claimed to meet stability requirements in §289.202(ggg)(4)(B)(ii)
of this title; and
(v) radionuclide identities and activities contained
in the waste, the masses of uranium-233, uranium-235, and plutonium
in special nuclear material, and the masses of uranium and thorium
in source material if contained in the waste.
(10) Certification. An authorized representative of
the waste generator, processor, or collector shall certify by signing
and dating the shipment manifest that the transported materials are
properly classified, described, packaged, marked, and labeled and
are in proper condition for transportation according to the applicable
regulations of the DOT and the department. A collector in signing
the certification is certifying that nothing has been done to the
collected waste that would invalidate the waste generator's certification.
(11) Control and tracking.
(A) Any licensee who transfers LLRW to a land disposal
facility or a licensed waste collector shall comply with the requirements
in clauses (i) - (ix) of this subparagraph. Any licensee who transfers
waste to a licensed waste processor for waste treatment or repackaging
shall comply with the requirements of clauses (iv) - (ix) of this
subparagraph. A licensee shall:
(i) prepare all wastes so that the waste is classified
according to §289.202(ggg)(4)(A) of this title and meets the
waste characteristic requirements in §289.202(ggg)(4)(B) of this
title;
