 Subpart N_Conditional Exemption for Low-Level Mixed Waste Storage and 

                                Disposal

 

Sec.  266.255  When is your LLMW no longer eligible for the storage and 

treatment conditional exemption?



    (a) When your LLMW has met the requirements of your NRC or NRC 

Agreement State license for decay-in-storage and can be disposed of as 

non-radioactive waste, then the conditional exemption for storage no 

longer applies. On that date your waste is subject to hazardous waste 

regulation under the relevant sections of 40 CFR parts 260 through 271, 

and the time period for accumulation of a hazardous waste as specified 

in 40 CFR 262.34 begins.

    (b) When your conditionally exempt LLMW, which has been generated 

and stored under a single NRC or NRC Agreement State license number, is 

removed from storage, it is no longer eligible for the storage and 

treatment exemption. However, your waste may be eligible for the 

transportation and disposal conditional exemption at Sec.  266.305.
