Section 666.210. What definitions apply to this subchapter?

  In this subchapter:

(1)  "Agreement state" means a state that has entered into an agreement with the NRC under 42 USC 2021 (b), to assume responsibility for regulating within its borders byproduct, source or special nuclear material in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass.

(2)  "Certified delivery" means certified mail with return receipt requested, or equivalent courier service, or other means, which provides the sender with a receipt confirming delivery.

(3)  "Eligible naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive material" or "eligible NARM" is NARM that is eligible for the transportation and disposal conditional exemption. It is a NARM waste that contains hazardous waste, meets the waste acceptance criteria of, and is allowed by state NARM rules to be disposed of at a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility licensed according to 10 CFR part 61 or NRC agreement state equivalent rules.

(4)  "Exempted waste" means a waste that meets the eligibility criteria in s. NR 666.225 and meets all of the conditions in s. NR 666.230 , or meets the eligibility criteria in s. NR 666.310 and complies with all of the conditions in s. NR 666.315 . That waste is conditionally exempted from the regulatory definition of hazardous waste described in s. NR 661.03 .

(5)  "Hazardous waste" means any material which is defined to be hazardous waste in accordance with s. NR 661.03 .

(6)  "Land disposal restriction treatment standards" or "LDR treatment standards" means treatment standards under ch. NR 668 , which a hazardous waste must meet before it can be disposed of in a hazardous waste land disposal unit.

(7)  "License" means a license issued by the nuclear regulatory commission, or NRC agreement state, to users that manage radionuclides regulated by NRC, or NRC agreement states, under authority of 42 USC 2011 to 2297 .

(8)  "Low-level mixed waste" or "LLMW" is a waste that contains both low-level radioactive waste and hazardous waste.

(9)  "Low-level radioactive waste" or "LLRW" is a radioactive waste which contains source, special nuclear or byproduct material, and which is not classified as high-level radioactive waste, transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel or byproduct material as defined in 42 USC 2014 (e)(2). (See also NRC definition of "waste" at 10 CFR 61.2 )

(10)  "Mixed waste" means a waste that contains both hazardous waste and source, special nuclear or byproduct material subject to 42 USC 2011 to 2297 .

(11)  "Naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive material" or "NARM" means radioactive materials that are either of the following:

(a) Naturally occurring and not source, special nuclear or byproduct materials (as defined by 42 USC 2011 to 2297 ).

(b) Produced by an accelerator. NARM is regulated by the states under state law, or by the U.S. department of energy (DOE) (as authorized by 42 USC 2011 to 2297 ) under DOE orders.

(12)  "NRC" means the U.S. nuclear regulatory commission.

(13)  "We or us" within this subchapter, means the department as defined in s. NR 660.10 .

(14)  "You" means a generator, treater or other handler of low-level mixed waste or eligible NARM.
