That Notice also provided information regarding the regulatory requirements for packaging, transportation and disposal of radioactiye material.
Enclosure
- 1 to the Notice was a summary of the low-level radioactive waste burial criteria for the three burial sites as of July 11, 1979.
Since the issuance of IE Information Notice 79-21, tnere have been a number of changes to those criteria.
An edited and updated version of Enclosure No. 1 to that Notice has beso prepared and is hereby reissued as IE Information Notice No. 80-24.
These criteria have been re'.*iewed with state officials and the burial site operators.
It is important to note that administrative and shipper certification requirements associated with the burial ::ites are not reflected in the enclosed criteria.
These requirements are frequently revised, as are the specific details on packagings, waste form and volumes.
It is imperative, therefore, that shippers confirm the latest requirements directly with the waste disposal collectors and site operators.
