SUBJECT:
POLICY AND GUIDANCE DIRECTIVE FC 86-10; ONSITE BURIAL BY MATERIAL LICENSEES This directive provides updated guidance for reviewing applications requesting authorization for licensees to bury their own radioactive waste onsite.
Applications for such authorizations are made pursuant to Section 20.302 of 10 CFR Part 20.
NUREG-1101, Vol.1, "0nsite Disposal of Radioactive Waste," March 1986, provides guidance for non-commercial disposal by subsurface burial (Enclosure 1).
It specifies information to be provided by the licensee so that an adequate evaluation of the application can be performed by NRC staff.
In addition, this guidance provides site parameters, radionuclide limits, and disposal methods normally acceptable to the NRC staff.
Limiting conditions are described for different categories of radionuclides with respect to total radioactivity, waste packaging, burial frequency, and other conditions normally acceptable for burial.
Licensees applying for onsite burial authorization should be referred to NUREG-1101 for guidance in preparing their requests.
If an application meets the guidelines of NUREG-1101, the appropriate Region can issue an amendment without referring the request to NRC Headquarters. A copy of the final licensing action plus any assessment of the burial request should be sent to the Director, Division of Waste Management.
Any questions or special cases should be referred directly to the Director, Division of Waste Management.
(See ED0 memorandum dated September 23, 1986, Enclosure 2.)
Policy and Guidance Directive FC 84-12, Revision 1, is being revised to reflect the fact that burial cases do not always need to be referred to Headquarters.
Policy and Guidance Directive FC 84-7, Revision 1, pertaining to management of sites containing material already buried pursuant to Section 20.304, remains unchanged.
