depending on the radiation dose rate measured at the surface of waste containers. While CH-TRU waste can be safely handled by direct contact, RH-TRU waste requires heavy container shielding or remote-handling equipment.

Document ~ contains EPA regulatory requirements to ensure that the waste emplaced in WIPP falls within the envelope limits required to maintain compliance with radiological disposal standards. Document 2 contains regulatory requirements to ensure that the non-radiological hazardous characteristics of the waste emplaced in WIPP are compatible with RCRA requirements.

Once the characterization methods for RH-TRU waste are finalized, it is the committee's understanding that DOE will produce one document combining all regulatory requirements to help generator sites implement their characterization programs.

While the regulatory requirements for the characterization of TRU waste destined for WIPP, established in the EPA Certification and RCRA Permit, apply to both CH- and RH-TRU waste, the waste characterization plans may propose different approaches to address these requirements. The committee evaluated, from a technical point of view, the approach DOE is proposing to characterize RH-TRU waste and how DOE proposes to address regulatory requirements.
