NRC to issue new Part 61 rules for low-level waste disposal
Continuing its breakneck pace of introducing new rules and proposals, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last week announced that it was proposing to amend its regulations under 10 CFR Part 61 governing the land disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
The proposed rule, which introduces a new risk-informed framework for LLW disposal in which sites can develop waste acceptance criteria based on site-specific characteristics, is one of several rules the NRC is seeking to finalize and issue in response to Executive Order 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”

Fracking wastes include NORM and TENOM with regulations varying among states and federal agencies. This panel discussion will continue our conversation from the 2021 Annual Meeting by sharing insights from regulators and industry to better understand the potential implications of unregulated wastes and how best to protect public health while understanding the need for affordable and responsible energy.
