NAC459.810. General requirements of disposal area.  


Latest version.
  • A disposal area must be so located, designed, operated, closed and controlled after closure as reasonable to ensure that:

         1. Any exposures of persons to radiation are within the limits established in this section and NAC 459.815 and 459.8155;

         2. A person is protected who inadvertently intrudes into and occupies the disposal area or comes into contact with the waste at any time after active governmental control over the disposal area is removed; and

         3. Long-term stability of the disposal area is achieved and the need for active maintenance of the area following closure is eliminated to the extent practicable, so that only surveillance, detection of radiation and minor custodial care are required.
