Characterization of the radioactive waste packages of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6647893
An evaluation of the low-level waste packages generated by 3M was made on the basis of 10 CFR Part 61 criteria and on the Technical Position on Waste Form and Waste Classification (TP). 3M produces a variety of radioactive products and wastes. The dominant radioisotopes are Po-210 and Cs-137. The Po-210 packages are generally Class A and meet the requirements in 10 CFR Part 61. The Cs-137 and Sr-90 packages fall into all three waste classifications (A, B, and C). These wastes are packaged by 3M in 30-gallon or 55-gallon carbon steel drums (Class A) or 30-gallon lined drums (Class B and C). The Class B and greater lead- and concrete-lined packages have been evaluated with respect to meeting the stability requirements for waste disposed of in a high integrity container. When so evaluated, eleven areas of concern were identified with respect to the requlations and recommendations in the TP.
