Dear Mr. Crase-
. _i ~
(Return to WM,623 SS)
C' In our telephone conversation I apprised you of the Nuclear Regulatory Commisssion's (NRC) support for the common data system for low-level waste (LLW) which is being developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) through its contractor, EG&G Idaho. This development was begun in 1978, and when completed, will provide in one data system all the available information for use in making management decisions regarding waste generation, processing, storage, and disposal. The DOE data base would thus serve as the central repository for information concerning inventories and characteristics of LLW and provide the basis for making projections for future waste generation.
The information contained on the radioactive shipping records (RSR) which NRC has been receiving from U.S. Ecology has proved valuable for a number of special studies and has permitted NRC to function capably in its regulatory and advisory role with industry. We expect to receive the 1982 and 1983 records under the term of our current contract. What we wish to do now is to have the RSR data also recorded on magnetic computer tape, in addition to the way you are currently furnishing the information, in such mannner that it could be input to the DOE data base.
With this information in the DOE data base, NRC would have the flexibility to satisfy a number of its data sorting needs and obtain specific data for analysis and special studies on an as-needed basis.
There may be some information of a proprietary nature which you wish to withhold from public disclosure. We would continue to withhold from public disclosure information considered proprietary. However, as in the past, we may make summaries of the data available to other parties who may benefit from the information. Such summaries, for example, could consist of the annual volume and radionuclide content of waste shipped to commercial disposal facilities by individual waste generators or groups of waste generators.
I would appreciate knowing what steps U.S. Ecology needs to take in order to deliver the data on magnetic con.puter tape. NRC would expect to obtain the tape containing 1982 data only. After the initial transfer of 0FC
