cobile units are. Le functional equivalent of a facility radwaste sys nuclear power recctors.
In our opinion, the cparations for handling radioactive waste l
by a reactor which you wish to perform at reactor sites fall 4
scope of activities which constitute reactor o;eration and for facility operating license issued pursuant to 10 CFR part 50 Under this license, tha reactor licensee ass i
of radioactive waste treatr.:ent systens, are carried out in a manne i
which will provida adequate protection frca the standpoint of ra T:.3 health and safety to facility c:::picyces and members of the pub i f:
reactor licen:ae cannot disclaim responsibility for the manner t

The reactor licensee is responsible for assuring compliance with all NRC regulations applicable to radioactive material generated in the operation of the reactor. These include all applicable requirements relating to the transfer of radioactive materials contained in 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 70, 71 and 73. The reactor lis nsee, depending on circumstances, may also have obligations under transportation regulations, such as 49 CFR Parts 170-189.
We hope this information provided to you is helpful.
