This document delineates the criteria for: shipping low-level waste (LLW) to the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC), and shipping LLW to the Waste Experimental Reduction Facility (WERF) for metal recycling or volume reduction. General information concerning disposal of contaminated waste materials is contained in Section 1. Two categories of waste are defined in Section 2. General criteria pertaining to all waste is summarized in Section 3. Processable waste classifications are identified in Section 4. Nonprocessable, direct disposal, waste classifications are identified in Section 5. Section 6 presents a list of the required documentation that must accompany each shipment of waste.
