RADIATION
Chapter 246-249 - Radioactive waste - Use of the commercial disposal site
Section 246-249-030 - Waste shipment certification

(1) A low-level radioactive waste shipment certification, Form RHF-31, must accompany each shipment of radioactive waste to a licensed low-level radioactive waste burial site. All three sections of the form must be completed. The certification shall be submitted at the disposal site to the department of health or its designee, and must be judged to be properly executed prior to the acceptance of the waste by the site operator. If a broker is involved, the broker's and carrier's sections must bear original signatures. The generator's signature need not be an original signature. If a broker is acting as the processor and/or packager of the waste, the broker may act as the agent of the generator and may sign the certification statement for the generator, provided the name and site use permit number of the original generator are identified. If no broker is involved, the generator shall so signify by entry in the broker's section of the form that no broker was involved, e.g., "no broker," and the generator and carrier's section must bear original signatures.

(2) In the case of brokered shipments from more than a single generator, information on each generator's certification shall include data clearly identifying, without reference to other documentation, each package transferred from that generator to the broker. The data shall be compatible with package identifications on the shipment manifest (RSR) from the broker, and with identification markings on the packages.
