(A) The specific
technical information shall also include the following analyses needed to
demonstrate that the performance objectives set forth in
105
CMR 120.811 through
120.814
will be met:
(1) Pathways analyzed in
demonstrating protection of the general population from releases of
radioactivity shall include air, soil, groundwater, surface water, plants and
animals. The analyses shall clearly identify and differentiate between the
roles performed by the natural site characteristics and facility design
features in isolating and segregating the wastes. The analyses shall
demonstrate that there is assurance that the exposures to humans from the
release of radioactivity will not exceed the limits set forth in
105
CMR 120.811.
(2) Analyses of the protection of individuals
from inadvertent intrusion shall demonstrate that waste classification and
segregation requirements will be met and that intruder barriers will be
provided.
(3) Analyses of the
protection of individuals during operations shall include assessments or
expected exposures due to routine operations and potential accidents during
handling, treatment, storage, and disposal of waste. The analyses shall
demonstrate that exposures will be controlled to meet the requirements of 105
CMR 120.200.
(4) Analyses of the
long term stability of the facility and the need for active long-term
maintenance after closure shall be based upon analyses of active natural
processes (such as, in the case of a disposal facility, erosion, mass wasting,
slope failure, settlement of wastes, infiltration through adjacent soils, and
surface drainage of the facility). The analyses shall demonstrate that there
will not be a need for long term active maintenance of the facility following
closure.
(B) The
Operator shall, at any time during licensing, development, operation, closure,
post-closure observation and maintenance or institutional control of the
facility, immediately notify the Department of any significant change in its
technical analysis required to be submitted pursuant to 105 CMR 120.800. Such
notification shall include a substitute technical analysis, satisfying the
requirements of the Section and demonstrating that the performance objectives
set forth in
105
CMR 120.811 through
120.814
will be met by the facility.
