Item 6. Response 1261 348 On-the-job training has been utilized to provide initial training and periodic retraining to those individuals responsible for operation of compactible low-level radioactive waste to aid in volume minimizat. ion.

At the present time, only dry waste and dewatered spent resin is ceing shipped to a low-level radioactive waste burial facility. In the event that other physical and chemical forms of waste becomes necessary for

~

transfer and shipment to a low-level radioactive waste burial facility, appropriate training and periodic retraining will be provided to those personnel who operate the processes which generate such waste. This will assure volume minimization and processing into acceptable chemical and physical fann for transfer and shipment to the burial facility.
