DOE Transuranic Waste Definition

["Le, Quang" <quangle@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU>]

Ladies and gentlemen,



DOE Order 435.1 definition of transuranic waste says:

"Transuranic waste is radioactive waste containing more than 100 nCi of alpha-emitting transuranic isotopes per gram of waste, with half-lives greater than 20 years, except for:

1) High-level waste

2) Waste that the Secretary of Energy has determined, with the concurrence of the Administrator of the EPA, does not need the degree of isolation required by the 40CFR Part 191 disposal regulations; or

3) Waste that the NRC has approved for disposal on a case-by-case basis in accordance with 10 CFR 61."



Questions:

Is there a list of the wastes mentioned in 2) and 3) above?



Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you.
