3 GENERAL
3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 Shipment – manifested container(s) or conveyance containing
radioactive waste for disposal.
3.1.2 Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (radioactive waste
manifest) is the manifest document required for waste shipment
acceptance at EnergySolutions Clive facility. The radioactive waste
manifest includes the NRC Form 540, shipping paper, NRC Form
541 (container and waste description), and the NRC Form 542
(processor / collector compact tabulation) as applicable.
3.1.3 Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (UHWM) is the manifest
document required with the radioactive waste manifest for shipments
subject to hazardous and PCB regulations.
3.1.4 Hazardous Waste Report Management Method Codes- An alpha-
numeric code used to signify treatment or land disposal on line 19 of
the UHWM.
3.1.5 Waste Processor / Collector – an entity, operating under an NRC or
Agreement State license, whose principal purpose is to process,
repackage, or otherwise treat low-level radioactive material or
radioactive waste generated by others prior to eventual transfer of
radioactive waste to a licensed low-level radioactive waste land
disposal facility.
3.1.6 Waste Package – The packaging together with its radioactive
contents as presented for transport.
3.1.7 Special Nuclear Material (SNM) – Plutonium, uranium 233, uranium
enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235 or, any material
artificially enriched by any of the above isotopes but does not
include Source Material.
3.1.8 Source Material – Uranium or Thorium, or any combination thereof,
in any physical or chemical form or ores which contain by weight
one-twentieth of one percent (0.05%) or more of uranium or thorium
or any combination thereof.
3.1.9 11e. (2) - Mill tailing radioactive wastes produced as a result of
extraction or concentration of uranium or thorium from any ore
processed primarily for its source material content. This definition
does not include residues from mining operations or chemical
extraction processes.

Shipment Acceptance
Revision 18
Non-Proprietary PAGE 5 OF 24
3.1.10 Approval To Export (ATE) – A written document, commonly
identified as a “permit” or “petition”, issued by a Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Compact or unaffiliated State, in which waste
was originally generated prior to its transport out of the host
Compact or State. The ATE authorizes the export of the waste from
the host Compact or State for processing and/or disposal. An ATE is
required by RML UT2300249 Condition 9.A for all low-level
radioactive waste arriving for management at the Clive with an
appropriate range of validity range that includes the date the waste
left its original point of generation. Time-valid ATEs from the
Compact or State of original generation are required for all
Shipments received from waste processors and generators with waste
that does not have a blanket approval from the compact. The
Approved Export Applicants summary generated by the Central
Compact is sufficient documentation for proof of an ATE.
3.2 Responsibilities
3.2.1 Manager, Shipping and Receiving (SRM), or designee, is responsible
for the overall implementation of this procedure. The SRM is also
responsible for ensuring that signed shipment forms are returned to
the generator. The SRM is responsible for documenting compliance
with reference 2.14 in accordance with the requirements of reference
2.18.
3.2.2 Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), or designee, has overall responsibility
for the conditions in reference 2.1 and 2.2.
3.2.3 Radiation Safety Technicians (RST) is responsible for performing
radiological surveys of incoming shipments to ensure dose and
contamination requirements meet the requirements of 49 CFR. RSTs
are also responsible for performing radiological surveys required by
references 2.1 and 2.2.
3.2.4 Shipping and Receiving Coordinators are responsible for inspection
and acceptance of radioactive waste shipments.
3.3 Precautions and Limitations

manifested container.
Note: If the manifested weight, volume, or activity is changed
after completion of the waste class check, the waste class
check must be performed for the revised manifest.
4.6.3 If the waste tracking system Waste Classification function indicates
a container greater than 75% of Class A, notify the SRM and RSO.
Perform a manual calculation of the container and attach calculation
to the radioactive waste manifest.
Note: For shipments with multiple containers greater than
75% of Class A, the single container with the highest
sum of fractions will be calculated.
4.6.4 Ensure all date appropriate ATE’s are present as part of the advanced
or incoming shipping documentation. Shipment acceptance by
signing the manifest verifies that all the required ATE’s are
accounted for in accordance with reference 2.14. Missing ATE’s
shall be requested from the generator / processor. If ATE’s cannot be
obtained contact SRM.
4.6.5 If the shipment is subject to hazardous waste and PCB regulations,
review the UHWM and LDR and verify the following items:

• Verify that the LDR is signed and has a Certification statement.
• Ensure the manifested EPA Hazardous Waste Codes are in the
profile.
• Ensure the proper Reactive Group Numbers are assigned to the
shipment or containers prior to printing the labels.
Note: If the radioactive waste has been treated to remove the
hazardous characteristic, Hazardous Waste Codes are
not required on the UHWM (applicable to D Hazardous
Waste Codes only). However, the LDR is still required.
4.6.6 For shipments with asbestos, ensure this is documented on the
radioactive waste manifest and/or UHWM in accordance with 40
CFR 61, Subpart M.

the scale at the mixed waste dock.
Note:
Complete EC-0525 for mixed waste shipments going to
the mixed waste cell. If the shipment is PCB the
container must be weighed and be within +/- 10% of the
UHWM weight. If the shipment is out of this tolerance
notify the SRM. The discrepancy must be resolved
within 15 days of receipt.
The location of where the shipment is being unloaded to will also need to be
