Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2005 / Notices TFF, a process that includes consolidating remaining wastes in the minimum number of tanks necessary, and then cleaning the empty tanks and ancillary equipment. After completing cleaning operations, a small amount of residual radioactive waste that cannot be removed remains in the tanks and ancillary equipment. DOE plans to stabilize this residual waste, as well as the TFF system overall, by filling the system with grout. Section 3116 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 authorizes the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), to determine that certain waste from reprocessing spent nuclear fuel is not high-level waste (HLW) and that it may instead be disposed of as low-level waste (LLW) if it meets the criteria set forth in Section 3116. The draft determination sets forth the basis for concluding that the TFF residual wastes, as well as the tanks, vaults, and associated piping, structures, and equipment will meet all of those criteria, and thus is not highlevel waste. Final Determination: DOE will issue a final determination following the completion of consultation with the NRC, and consideration of any public comments. Issued in Washington, DC, on September 8, 2005. Charles E. Anderson, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management.
