Re: DOE Transuranic Waste Definition

[RuthWeiner@AOL.COM]

An inventory of transuranic (TRU) wastes is found in DOE/CAO/94-1005, "WIPP 

Transuranic Waste Baseline Inventory Report" probably available from the PIO 

at the WIPP.  The WIPP URL is http://www.wipp.carlsbad.nm.us.  O believe you 

can easily get the document via the web page.  


The definition cited should be cited together with the definition of high 

level waste in either the Nuclear Waste Policy Act or 10 CFR 60 or 10 CFR 63. 

 I do not believe that to date EPA has excluded anything from meeting the 

requirements of 40 CFR 191.


The WIPP Land Withdrawal Act also refers to TRU waste as "defense-generated."
