1.
If your facility has a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) License
Number, please enter that here. If all radioactive materials are
possessed under an NRC General License, indicate “GL.”
2. Do you
generate LLRW which, due to the short half-life of it's isotopes, may be stored for
decay and eventually disposed as nonradioactive waste?
YES
NO
For all remaining
questions, DO NOT include: (1) waste that is stored for decay which can
then be disposed as non-radioactive waste or (2) sealed sources which can be
returned to the manufacturer.
3. A. In 2008,
did your facility generate radioactive waste that requires disposal in a
licensed LLRW disposal facility?
YES
NO
B. Do you anticipate generating LLRW in the future?
YES
NO
C. Is your facility
storing any radioactive material or waste, generated prior to 2008, that
is now awaiting disposal?
YES
NO
If you answered “NO ”
to 3A, 3B AND
3C, it is not necessary to complete the rest of the survey. Please click
the “Submit Form” button at the bottom of this page.
If you answered “YES ”
to 3A ,3B, OR
3C, please complete all remaining questions that are appropriate and
applicable.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
4. A. Please estimate the volume of LLRW
generated in calendar year 2008 that has been disposed, or will require
disposal, in a licensed LLRW disposal facility.
Total Cubic Feet
B. If known, break down the total volume entered in
4A into waste classes.
Appendix 1 provides a description of waste classes.
NOTE: The sum of the entries below should equal the answer in
question 4A.
Class A
Class
B
Class C Mixed
Don’t
Know
5. Use the following table to
characterize the LLRW generated in calendar year 2008. Please indicate
the volume, total activity and principle radionuclides for each waste
stream that has been disposed or will require disposal in a licensed LLRW
facility. The estimated volume for all waste streams reported should
equal the total cubic feet volume reported in 4A.
Click here for a description of waste streams .
A. Dry Active Waste
K. Rubble,
Sand, Soil, etc.
B. Medical Generators
L. Sludge
C. Aqueous Liquids
M. Evaporator Concentrates
D. Organic Liquids (not oils)
N. Air Filter Media, Cartridges
E. Oils
O. Liquid Filter Media, Cartridges
F. Animal Carcasses
P. Ion Exchange Resins
G. Biological Waste (exclude animal
carcasses)
Q. Sealed Sources
H. Ash
R. TENORM
I. Activated Equipment or
Shielding
(radioactive by irradiation)
S. Other (describe)
J. Contaminated Hazardous Material
6. Please estimate the volume (in cubic
feet) of LLRW that your facility will generate in each of the next five
years. If you are unsure of Waste Class, enter as Class A.
7. Check each waste management method
currently used, either by you at your facility, or by an off-site waste
processor, to manage your LLRW
8. If your facility uses a waste
brokerage service (a company which packages and collects waste) so that
you do not have to deal with a disposal site directly, please provide the
name of the company(s) and the state(s) where the broker(s) is located
9. If your facility shipped waste
off-site for treatment or processing prior to disposal (incineration,
compaction, etc.), identify the waste processor(s) and the state(s) where
the processor(s) are located.
WASTE DISPOSAL
10. Please estimate the volume of waste
shipped for disposal (either directly or through a broker or
processor) at a licensed LLRW disposal facility in calendar year 2008.
Total Cubic Feet
11. Please identify the volume (in
cubic feet) of waste sent to the following disposal sites during
calendar year 2008:
Energy Solutions, LLC (Barnwell, South
Carolina)
Energy
Solutions, LLC (Clive,
Utah)
U.S. Ecology (Richland,
Washington)
Other (please identify)
Don’t know
WASTE IN STORAGE
12. A. Please estimate the cubic feet of LLRW,
currently in storage, that will require disposal in a licensed LLRW
disposal facility.
Total Cubic Feet
B. If known, break down the total volume entered in
12A by waste class.
Note:
The sum of the entries below should equal the answer in question 12A .
Class A Class
B Class C Mixed Don’t Know
C. What percentage of the waste in storage was
generated in calendar year 2008?
%
13. What difficulties, if any, are you
experiencing in your effort to ship stored wastes for disposal? Please
explain:
14. The
Energy Solutions disposal facility in
Barnwell, South Carolina ceased accepting waste from Michigan generators in
July 2008. This facility was formerly the only option for disposal of
Michigan’s Class B and C wastes.
A. Are you now storing Class B or C wastes
specifically as a result of the loss of access to the Energy Solutions
disposed facility?
YES
NO
B. Please explain any impact this loss of
access has had on your facility and any steps taken to address the
issue.
15. Please provide any other comments or
explanations that will help us understand your responses to this survey,
or any other information you wish to share with us.
