61. Conditioning of radioactive waste

In selecting a conditioning process, every licensee must consider the following aspects:

whether safety would be improved from the use of a matrix material;

compatibility of the radioactive waste with the selected materials and processes;

the minimisation of the generation of secondary radioactive waste.

Every approved person must ensure that the radioactive waste packages are designed and produced so that radionuclides are confined under both normal conditions and accident conditions that may occur during handling, storage, and disposal.

Every approved person must ensure that each package of conditioned radioactive waste is provided with a durable label bearing the identification number and relevant information, and that a proper record of each package is kept under the management system.
