Notice of Availability of Draft Standard Review Plan for Activities Related to U.S. Department of Energy Waste Determinations, NUREG-1854

Streszczenie

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a draft Standard Review Plan (SRP) for activities related to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) waste determinations, for public comment. The draft SRP provides guidance to the NRC staff in evaluating non- high-level waste determinations developed by DOE for the Savannah River Site, Idaho National Laboratory, the Hanford site, and the West Valley Demonstration Project for certain wastes that are a result of the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. The draft SRP provides elements the NRC staff should review to determine whether there is reasonable assurance that the appropriate criteria can be met for determining that waste is incidental to reprocessing and can be managed as low-level waste. The draft SRP also provides information about the role of the NRC in the waste determination process and the NRC monitoring activities under the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA). The draft SRP does not set forth regulatory requirements for NRC or for DOE, and compliance with the draft SRP is not required.
