502.6 Materials incorporated by reference.
(a) The term low-level radioactive waste is defined in section 502.2 of this Part, in part, by Federal descriptions of Class A, B, or C radioactive waste as set forth in sections 61.55 and 61.56 of title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on January 26, 1983 (“Federal provisions”). In summary, the Federal provisions are as follows. Of the three classes, Class A is the least and Class C the greatest potential hazard to the public and the environment. Classification is determined by concentration of long- and short-lived radionuclides. All three classes must meet minimum waste form and packaging characteristics to facilitate handling and worker protection. Class B and C radioactive wastes must also meet stability requirements intended to minimize water infiltration and leachability of radionuclides from the waste. Disposal of Class C radioactive waste requires measures to protect against inadvertent intrusion.
(b) The Federal provisions are set forth in subpart D, entitled “Technical Requirements for Land Disposal Facilities,” of Part 61, entitled “Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste,” of the rules of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, published in the first volume of title 10, entitled “Energy,” of the Code of Federal Regulations,containing parts 0 to 199, revised as of January 1, 1986, on pages 645-647 of such volume. The publisher of the volume is the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration.
