Decontamination and decommissioning of a facility typically requires removal of waste materials from the site. Hazardous materials, including components with radioactive contamination, require packaging and shipment in accordance with the applicable regulations such as U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, 49 CFR 173. In addition, packaging and transportation of radioactive materials are controlled by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulation 10 CFR 71. These regulations establish requirements for transporting hazardous materials in public commerce, including proper identification, packaging, and shipping with appropriate labels and emergency response information. Their objective is to ensure the safety of the public and the environment. The movement of hazardous materials on U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites is controlled by DOE orders, which require protection equivalent to that required for off-site movement.
