II. Discussion
On October 17, 2022, the NRC
received an application from PFNW
requesting to amend their specific
license to export German-origin
radioactive waste from PFNW
processing facilities to Eckert and
Ziegler Nuclitech GmbH located in
Germany. The application seeks
authorization to export no greater than
800,000 kilograms (8.5 terabecquerels
(TBq)) of treated low-level radioactive
waste, originally received from Germany
in the form of liquid, shredded and
combustible material produced from
research, medical, and other industries
(excluding nuclear power plants). The
material to be treated includes plastics,
paper, wood, personal protective
equipment, and glass, primarily
contaminated with carbon-14, cesium137, cobalt-60, nickel-63, radium-226
and strontium-90. The treated waste to
be returned to Germany will consist of
residual ash and residual metal or noncombustible material that cannot be
recycled. The applicant requests an
expiration date of September 1, 2026.
