General Waste Types5.1 RadioactiveRadioactive wast

21、es are defined as dis-carded material in any form that must be managed for itsradioactive content per federal or agreement state regulations.Radioactive wastes are further categorized into the followingsubclasses.5.1.1 High LevelHigh level wastes are irradiated reactorfuel (spent nuclear fuel) and t

22、he highly radioactive materialresulting from the reprocessing of irradiated reactor fuel,including liquid waste and any solid material derived fromsuch liquid (10 CFR 60, DOE Manual M 435.1-1).5.1.2 TransuranicTransuranic wastes are any materialcontaining alpha-emitting transuranic nuclides with hal

Low level wastes are definedinto

28、 categories per 10 CFR 61.55(a)(2)(i) and accompanyingtables. Those categories include:5.1.5.1 Class AClass A wastes contain the lowest concen-trations of radioactivity and typically are composed of short-lived radionuclides that generate no decay heat, do not need tobe shielded, and decay to levels

29、 posing minimal potentialhuman dose within 100 years. ClassAwastes typically have anaverage concentration less than 100 GBq m-3(2.7 Ci m-3) andconstitute the majority of generated radioactive waste.5.1.5.2 Class BClass B wastes contain the next lowestconcentrations of radioactivity and typically are

30、 composed ofgreater quantities of short-lived radionuclides than Class A.Class B wastes typically have an average concentration of 3TBq m-3(81 Ci m-3).5.1.5.3 Class CClass C wastes contain the highest con-centrations of radioactivity acceptable for near-surface dis-posal. Class C wastes are typicall

31、y composed of greaterconcentrations of short-lived radionuclides than Class A or Bwastes, and may contain long-lived radionuclides. Class Cwastes on average have a concentration of 9 TBq m-3(243 Cim-3) and will not decay to acceptable levels within 100 years.5.1.5.4 Greater Than Class CGreater Than

32、Class Cwastes are all radioactive wastes, defined as low level wastes,that do not qualify for near-surface disposal as defined in 10CFR 61.5.2 HazardousHazardous wastes are solid wastes as de-fined in 40 CFR 261 that meet any one of the following fourcriteria:5.2.1 Exhibits a characteristic such as

33、ignitable, corrosive,reactive, or toxic as defined in 40 CFR 261, Subpart C,4U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Quality Staff (281 1R), 1200 Pennsyl-vania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20460.

34、n 40 CFR 261, Subpart D,5.2.3 Is composed of a mixture of a solid waste and a listedwaste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3(b), or5.2.4 Is a derived waste from the treatment, storage, ordisposal of a listed waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3(c)(2)(i).5.3 Mixed WasteMixed Waste containing a RCRAhazard-ous mat

35、erial and an NRC regulated radioactive material.5.4 Co-mingled WasteWaste containing any CERCLAhazardous substance other than the CERCLA radioactivehazardous substances and any radioactive materials.5.5 PCBPolychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) wastes arePCBs and PCB items that are subject to the disposal r

36、equire-ments of 40 CFR 761, Subpart D.5.6 ConventionalConventional wastes are any non-hazardous discarded material in any form that does not containresidual amounts of radioactivity above the limits of thetreatment or disposal facility.6. Characterization6.1 The waste management plan should include

37、a descrip-tion of the waste characterization methodology. The wastecharacterization methodology should be of sufficient detail toensure that physical, chemical, and radiological properties ofthe wastes are identified and known throughout the wastemanagement process and that they are characterized wi

38、thsufficient accuracy to ensure worker protection, propersegregation, treatment, storage, and disposal. Useful informa-tion relative to the characterization of waste streams can befound in Guide E1892. Waste characterization methodologiesshould focus on total data acquisition and be based on directm

39、ethods (surveys and sampling and analysis), and indirectmethods (process knowledge). Characterization data shouldinclude information obtained from direct measurement, andfrom sampling and analysis of the waste materials. Guidanceon direct measurement is contained in the MARSSIM andMARSAME documents.

40、6.2 Sampling and AnalysisThe sampling and analysis ofwaste streams should be conducted in accordance with awritten plan that identifies the data life cycle process. The datalife cycle process is composed of three essential elements:planning, implementation, and assessment. Guidance for sam-pling and

41、 analysis can be found in the MARLAP manual.6.2.1 PlanningThe planning process is a project manage-ment tool that identifies and documents the qualitative andquantitative statements that define the data quality objectivesprocess (for example, Practice D5792). A graded approach tothe planning process

42、 should be considered based on the size,complexity, available resources, and level of quality control.6.2.2 ImplementationSampling and analysis plans shouldidentify the target analyte(s), the sampling design and meth-odology as determined during the planning process, the qualitycontrol parameters, a

43、nd the analytical requirements per theapproved statement of work.6.2.3 AssessmentThe three-step assessment process isbased on verification, validation, and data quality assessment.6.2.3.1 Verification is a systematic process performed exter-nally from the data generator that evaluates the laboratory

44、delivered data set (that is, data package) against the deliverablerequirements as stated in the laboratory statement of work. Italso checks for completeness, consistency, comparability, andcorrectness of the data set.(1) A verification report should be generated that identifiesany correctable and no

45、n-correctable discrepancies associatedwith the data set. The report should be in a standard format andremain as part of the data package.(2) Data verification should be an interactive process withthe laboratory. It should provide appropriate feedback toaddress correctable and non-correctable discrep

46、ancies whichresult in opportunities to improve the analytical work prior toproject completion.6.2.3.2 Validation is a systematic process performed exter-nally from the data generator that addresses the reliability ofthe data and provides assurance of the presence or absence ofanalytes. This process

47、reviews the verification report, andlaboratory-delivered data set, and applies defined performance-based criteria to qualify the data.(1) A data validation report should be generated thatidentifies all data qualified based on the performance-basedcriteria. The report should be in a standardized form

48、at andremain as part of the data package.6.2.3.3 The data quality assessment process is the “scientificand statistical evaluation of data to determine if they are of theright type, quality, and quantity to support their intended use.”This process should not be limited to the verification andvalidati

49、on of data, but should encompass the entire samplecollection and analysis process and its impact on data qualityand usability.(1) A graded approach based on the intended use of thedata should be applied to the data quality assessment process.This should be done in such a manner that the three funda-mental premises are satisfied:(a) Are the samples representative?(b) Are the data accurate?(c) Can a decision be made?6.3 Process KnowledgeA characterization methodologythat relies on the knowledge of the physical, chemical, andradiological constituents of the
