WAC 246-249-001. Purpose and scope

These rules govern generators and brokers of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) and generators and brokers of naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive material (NARM) seeking to dispose waste at any commercial disposal facility in the state of Washington. For purposes of this chapter, the term "radioactive waste" refers to both low-level radioactive waste and naturally occurring and accelerator produced radioactive material. These rules are in addition to applicable requirements of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), and other requirements of Title 246 WAC, the requirements of the department of ecology, Title 173 WAC, and conditions of the license issued to the disposal site operator(s).
