Radioactive Waste Acceptance Program (RWAP)
The Radioactive Waste Acceptance Program mission is to facilitate the
management of radioactive waste in a safe and compliant manner ensuring
the integrity of the Nevada Test Site disposal operations while
maintaining the protection of the public, the workers, and the
environment.
Approval to ship waste to the Nevada Test Site is granted
only after the waste generator demonstrates, compliance to Nevada Test
Site Waste Acceptance Criteria. The criteria consist of specific
requirements for waste form, characterization, packaging, and
transportation.
Radioactive Waste Acceptance Program personnel provide assistance,
interpretation, guidance, and technical expertise on waste acceptance
criteria. Program personnel are also responsible for verifying, through
on-site audits, the waste generator facility has established a program
that complies with regulations regarding the management and
transportation of radioactive waste. Waste is not accepted at the Nevada
Test Site unless the generator meets the prescribed approval process.
