Dear Mr. Lundvall:
The NRC and the State authorities who license comercial low-level radio-active waste disposal sites have recently implemented a rigorous inspection plan for wastes fron nuclear power plants arriving at the disposal sites.
This inspection plan will inplenant the State Licensing Conditions which Experience, however, require waste to contain no free standing liquids.
indicates that rany nuclear power facilities have difficulty in producing a waste product which has no free standing liquids.
To satisfy the licensing conditions of the disposal sites, the State authori-ties and the NRC are preparing an implementation schedule that would prohibit the presence of free standing liquids in waste shipments arriving at the In order to better define and assess the extent and impact disposal sites.

is to evaluate operating plant radwaste processing capabilities to determine a reasonable implementation schedule to implement the State requirements for a waste product containing no free standing water.
