This paper presents the results of a statutory/regulatory investigation of two plutonium waste forms under consideration for disposal in an Nuclear Waste Policy Act repository. The study was conducted to determine if plutonium would be precluded for disposal in a geologic repository or if additional requirements would be imposed on the repository system for plutonium disposal. No regulatory provisions were found that would preclude disposal in an NWPA repository. Several regulatory issues are identified and mitigating options are proposed.
