I have no idea why (except for pH -- which will vary by generator) UO2Ac
solutions would be RCRA hazardous under the federal rules.

UO2Ac is not a flammable, reactive, toxic or listed (U, P, F or K) waste
under Fed RCRA, near as I can tell.

If someone has direct interpretive and/or experiencial insight on the
matter, please chime in.
