Justification that the Thermo-Fisher Scientific 241 Am Residues Were Generated by Atomic Energy Defense Activities

Abstract

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Land Withdrawal Act (LWA) as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (1) requires that for Transuranic (TRU) waste to be eligible for disposal at WIPP, it must have been generated by atomic energy defense activities. The definition of “atomic energy defense activity” is defined in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) (2).

An Assessment of the Nevada Test Site for Low-Level Waste Management

This report presents a summary of description information, facilities, and operating practices at the Nevada Test Site. It is concluded that NTS is not only a feasible location for surface and near-surface storage of low-level wastes, but also a potential site for underground storage of higher level wastes.
