NRC Seeks Input on Low-Level Rad Waste Manifest.pdf

On October 30, 2018 (83 FR 54620) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued for public comment a draft NUREG, NUREG/BR-0204, Rev. 3, “Instructions for Completing NRC's Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest.”  This document provides instructions to prepare NRC Form 540 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper)), NRC Form 541 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Container and Waste Description)), and NRC Form 542 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Manifest Index and Regional Compact Tabulation)).  NRC Forms 540 and 541 must be prepared for low-level radioactive waste intended for ultimate disposal at a licensed low-level radioactive waste land disposal facility.  NRC Form 542 is required only if processors and collectors of low-level radioactive waste are shipping low-level radioactive waste attributed to others for disposal at a licensed low-level radioactive waste land disposal facility.  Submit comments by December 31, 2018.  Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received before this date.
