LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015 Licensing Perspectives on Waste Brokering Ray Fleming, Manager Radioactive Material Licensing Group LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

Resistance to Disposal Storage costs less than disposal No disposal requirement in rule Waiting for a government handout (ex. SCATR or OSRP) Packaging and shipping waste is too difficult Navigating the rules is too difficult LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015 Storage Vs. Disposal Explain hidden storage costs (ex. inventory, leak tests, shutter tests…) Increase fees Add realistic financial planning costs Increase costs for security 3 LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015 Storage Time Limits Storage time limit in rule Generally licensed device storage time limit rule must be enforced LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

Broker-centric Collection Strategy Privately funded organization operates the registry of sources needing disposal instead of DOE Brokers and recyclers bid on jobs as they come in DOE notified if no commercial disposal pathway Federal and/or state rebates go to the broker so they are largely transparent to the waste generator Works with a variety of financial planning mechanisms Verification of timely disposal/disposition LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

Benefits of a New Collection Strategy Encouraging immediate disposal More brokers have an opportunity to get business Local businesses benefit by having local services Brokers can focus on specific states and compacts improving efficiency Private industry driven Reduced cost to taxpayers More price competition LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

Packaging and Shipping Allow brokers to receive waste on a bill of lading instead of a waste manifest. There is no health, safety or security reason to require more than a bill of lading. More type B containers available Think out of the box about type B container requirements Should there be an intermediate container standard Should exemption powers be used in some cases Device specific standards should be acceptable Performance based instead of proscriptive LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

Regulatory Challenges Consistency between agencies policies and rules Defining when RAM becomes a waste Licensing differences between RAM and waste Stopping the chain of waste transfers as RAM Service companies collecting waste as RAM Mixed vs. blended, sealed vs. loose Do the standard mixed waste rules make sense when a site accepts out-of-compact waste? Should mixed waste fees be based on a percentage of out-of-compact waste when both are accepted? LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015 Compact Challenges Import and export agreements are an impediment Potential violations of export/import rules when waste shipped as RAM How important are enforcement actions to compacts? Price difference between in and out-of-compact disposal rates incentivises cheating LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015

LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015 Advice to Brokers Come up with a broker driven process to replace SCATR/OSRP Push for collecting waste through RAM shipments Advocate for consistent regulation Advocate for streamlined regulation Document original generators Leak test sources on receipt on contact if possible Treat all sources as possible leakers LLW Forum Fall Meeting Chicago IL October 22-23, 2015
