Recovery Guide for TRU Waste Packages (Rev. 6)
Permanent disposal of the defense-generated transuranic (TRU) radioactive waste now in temporary storage at generator sites requires shipment of the waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico. In addition, waste management efforts at those generator sites may require intersite and intrasite shipments. TRU waste is shipped by commercial motor vehicle, in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-certified packaging. This recovery guide establishes guidance for recovery of TRU waste packages/packaging.
