Appendix A
Statement of Task
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene a workshop of domestic and international technical, regulatory, and policy experts to discuss the safe and secure management and disposition of low-level radioactive waste. The workshop presentations and discussions will address the following topics:
- Identification of key physical, chemical, and radiological characteristics of low-level radioactive waste that govern its safe and secure management (i.e., packaging, transport, storage) and disposition, in aggregate and for individual waste-streams.
- How key characteristics of low-level waste are incorporated into standards, orders, and regulations that govern the management and disposition of low-level radioactive waste in the United States and in other major waste-producing countries.
A summary of the workshop discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur. The summary will not contain consensus findings or recommendations.
