1 NRC Perspective of Radiological Byproducts for Oil and Gas Operations
Division Decommissioning Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Larry W. Camper, CEP, REP, CIPM Director

2 Topics Byproduct Material Oil and Gas Waste Production
Disposal Options 2

3 Byproduct Material “Byproduct” defined
Atomic Energy Act defines Byproduct material Section 11e.(1) Section 11e.(2) Section 11e.(3) Section 11e.(4) 3

4 Oil and Gas Waste Production
Oil Drilling and Fracking Process Natural Gas Waste from oil and gas production (i.e. NORM or TENORM) Suggested State Regulations for Control of Radiation States Regulate (differently) Outside of NRC regulatory control Oil and gas wastes are not Atomic Energy Act material 4

5 Disposal Options State Regulations Disposal of waste
onsite disposal facilities Landfills RCRA Subtitle C facilities State Licensed facilities 5

6 Conclusion Oil and Gas waste production
Challenge of management and disposition NRC has no regulatory jurisdiction 6

7 Questions? 7
