Unreviewed Disposal Question Evaluation: Disposal of the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center Mixed Low-Level Waste Requiring Macroencapsulation at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada
This Unreviewed Disposal Question Evaluation (UDQE) assesses whether the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) Mixed Low-Level Waste (MLLW) requiring macroencapsulation (INEL166322NR1, Revision 0 [INL 2019]) is suitable for shallow land burial (SLB) at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). Disposal of the INTEC MLLW requiring macroencapsulation waste stream meets all the performance objectives contained in U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Manual DOE M 435.1-1, “Radioactive Waste Management Manual,” Chapter IV, Section P (DOE 2011). The INTEC MLLW requiring macroencapsulation waste stream is recommended for acceptance without conditions.
