Hours: 8
Duration: 1 Days CEUs: 0.8
Delivery Method: Classroom Lecture &
Exercises
Intended Audience:
DOE and contractor personnel
involved with the identification, characterization, storage, treatment,
disposal, or transportation of mixed (hazardous and radioactive) waste.
Individuals concerned only with radioactive or hazardous waste (non-mixed
regulated wastes) would also find the course useful.
Course Description:
This 1-day course presents DOE's
mixed waste management challenges and discusses the regulatory requirements and
DOE's approach for managing mixed waste, including treatment, storage, and
disposal for: mixed high level waste; mixed transuranic waste; and mixed low
level waste. Information is provided through lecture, discussion, and breakout
groups, and students receive a detailed manual suitable for future use as a
handy reference. Because it is the major law in mandating what materials are
considered mixed wastes, significant time is spent on the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), and how and when it applies to DOE's waste streams.
Students learn about land disposal restrictions and best demonstrated available
technologies, as well as how to recognize a mixed waste. These concepts are
crucial to ensure regulatory-compliant and cost effective mixed waste
management. The course also identifies waste minimization techniques and
treatment technologies, and discusses the role of recycling in mixed waste
management and DOE's disposal plans for mixed waste. This class is particularly
helpful to employees who are dealing with DOE's wastes that are a
"legacy" of the cold ware, or who will be involved in decontamination
and decommissioning projects or other environmental restoration activities.
Personnel involved in procurement of mixed waste characterization services or
the design of mixed waste treatment facilities will also benefit from this
class. In addition, this class makes an excellent add-on to the 3-day
Environmental Laws and Regulations Class.
