Conditions in respect of solid radioactive wasteE+W
17.—(1) The condition referred to in paragraph 15(3)(b) is that B must ensure that, in respect of the total amount of a waste to which this condition applies that is disposed of on or from the premises, the quantity of radioactivity which that waste contains must not exceed the value specified in column 3 of Table 6 in respect of that waste during the period stated in that column.
(2) The conditions referred to in paragraph 15(3)(a) and (b) are that B must—
(a)keep an adequate record of the solid radioactive waste which B disposes of on or from any premises under that paragraph,
(b)dispose of the waste by any of the routes described in sub-paragraph (3),
(c)where the disposal route in sub-paragraph (3)(a) is used, ensure that where reasonably practicable any marking or labelling of the waste or its container is removed before the person disposes of that waste,
(d)where the waste is or was a high-activity source, notify the details of the disposal to the regulator within 14 days of the disposal (including the information required by Annex II to the HASS Directive), in such form as may be required by the regulator, and
(e)allow the regulator access to such records or such premises as the regulator may request in order to determine that all of the conditions that apply in respect of the relevant exemption in paragraph 15(3) are complied with.
(3) The routes referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(b) are that the waste is transferred to—
(a)subject to sub-paragraph (4), a person who manages substantial quantities of non-radioactive waste and where the radioactive waste will be so managed with the radioactive waste dispersed in non-radioactive waste,
(b)a waste permitted person, or
(c)where the waste is a sealed source, an electrodeposited source or a tritium foil source, to a licensee of a nuclear site or to a person who is situated in another country and who is lawfully entitled to receive such waste.
(4) The route in sub-paragraph (3)(a) does not apply in respect of waste—
(a)described in paragraph 16(1)(b), or
(b)which is described in paragraph 16(1)(a) and which is a sealed source, an electrodeposited source or a tritium foil source, where in respect of the total amount of such a source which is disposed of on or from the premises under paragraph 15(3), the quantity of radioactivity which that waste contains exceeds the value specified in column 3 of Table 6 in respect of that source during the period stated in that column.
