I have been away from the group for the last two
weeks so I apologize if this subject has been discussed.
We at Bionomics, Inc. have been getting a lot
of calls from our customers concerning the letters received from Chem-Nuclear
about their Barnwell allocation, questioning the required response .
After going to the web site, www.state.sc.us/energy/llrwdisposal.htm
, I found that I didn't know everything I should about the site's allocation
process. I assumed that the 5.0 cubic feet for small generators and generators
that hadn't previously shipped to the site was automatic and that all generators
that have shipped would receive a letter concerning their allocation, I was
wrong about both.
Is it common knowledge to all radioactive
material users that intend to use, may use the site, or are not sure if
they will need to use the Barnwell site must send a letter to Chem-Nuclear
reserving their spot at the site by September 1, 2001?
Are there any generators pooling their allocations
as described in the last paragraph of http://www.state.sc.us/energy/PDFs/allocation6.PDF ?
If there are generators that would be
interested in pooling, we would be willing to that manage the
pool. We are not just offering this out of the goodness of our hearts, it
would just be easier to track a pool rather than keep up with all of the
allocations individually, also it may make a little more space available for
customers needing it.
We encourage all of our customers to apply for
their allocation weather they believe they will need it or not, remember
Envirocare can only accept Class A waste with radionuclides specifically listed
in their license, and specifically prohibits sealed sources. Also there is no
financial commitment required, at this time, to researve your space (that will
come with the next letter in December).
We have a sample request letter available for those
interested in applying for their allocation. Again I apologize if this is old news, but if you are interest in
pooling, contact me at:
