Waste acceptance criteria were developed as part of an overall effort to establish general criteria for the shallow land burial of Department of Energy low-level radioactive waste. Other areas of criteria development include site selection, design, operations, closure/post-closure, corrective measures and quality assurance. All the criteria are based on a concept of low-level waste management which recognizes the use of system performance objectives. Waste acceptance criteria are standard rules by which the acceptability of a low-level waste package at a given shallow land burial facility can be judged.
