Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986

DOE-STD-6003-96

40 CFR 262.34(b)(f) provides specific allowances for a generator to store waste on-site for

greater than 90 days without a permit under certain limited circumstances. Otherwise, if treat-

ment residues are stored on site for 90 days or more, 40 CFR 265 requirements apply. Any

facility (on-site or off-site) designated for permanent disposal of hazardous wastes must be in

compliance with RCRA. Disposal facilities must fulfill permitting, storage, maintenance, and

closure requirements contained in 40 CFR Parts 264270. 40 CFR 264 Subparts F and S,

include requirements for corrective action for RCRA-regulated facilities. If treatment residues are

disposed of off-site, 40 CFR 263 transportation standards apply.

7. 4.3.5 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

(CERCLA) was enacted in response to the concern for the dangers of negligent hazardous

waste disposal practices in the past. This Act could apply to new facilities at the time of facility

shutdown if other regulations were violated which caused environmental damage or a threat to

public health.

7. 4.3.6 Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986

The Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) deals primarily with the

reporting requirements for organizations handling hazardous materials.

7. 4.4 Mixed Waste Requirements

Various mixed (i.e., both chemically hazardous and radioactive) waste streams will be

produced by fusion facilities. These could include beryllium contaminated with tritium, activated

tungsten-rhenium mixtures, and dust produced on the first wall of the vacuum chamber. The

requirements for the disposal are now being formulated and will be included in this Standard

when developed.

7. 5 Requirements on Low-Level Waste Repository

The requirements for the LLW Repository itself are given in 10 CFR 61. The design of the

repository is outside the scope of this Standard.
