Acceptance by the facility is limited to radionuclides listed in the Table of Exemption Limits for Radioisotopes in Annex 4 to the Regulation on Authorisations for Radiation Facilities and Radiation Practices.

Sources below the activity and activity concentration limits in Annex 4 do not need to be delivered as radioactive waste. Although there is no upper activity limit for waste accepted by the facility, other requirements such as surface dose, criticality, gas generation and heat output must be met.

For packaged or unpackaged waste, the dose velocity on the surface of the package or original shielding must not exceed 30 µSv/h at any point. If this limit is exceeded, the waste producer and carrier must provide additional packaging or shielding.

Beta contamination must be below 0.4 Bq/cm².

Alpha contamination must be below 0.04 Bq/cm².

Surfaces exceeding these limits must be placed in a clean transport container.

With the exception of depleted uranium (DU) used for shielding in certified transport containers and nuclear compounds used for training and research, spent fuel, potentially critical fresh fuel and similar nuclear materials are not accepted by the facility. Acceptable nuclear compounds must be delivered within a containment system that ensures criticality safety and has been approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NDK).

The heat output of the waste must be at a level that will not damage the package or original shielding.

Generated gases must not cause damage such as swelling, explosion or corrosion.

Where pressure may increase, automatic pressure-regulating systems must be used and additional precautions must be taken for harmful gases.

Relevant analyses must be submitted to the facility before delivery.

Radioactive liquids containing chemical contamination must be kept in suitable chemical containers and shielded so as to comply with transport dose limits.

The waste form must not undergo a flammable or explosive reaction with air or water; chemical stability must be ensured by the waste producer.

Tesisimize teslim edilecek tüm radyoaktif atıklar için teslimden önce ilgili analizlerin tesisimize sunulması gerekmektedir.

Radyoaktif atık kimyasal madde içeriyorsa bu atık formunun hava ya da su ile doğrudan yanıcı, patlayıcı bir tepkimeye girmemesi gerekir. Atık üreticisi bu durumlarda atığın kimyasal kararlılığını sağlamalıdır.

Orta ve yüksek seviyeli radyoaktif atıkların paketlenmesi için yanmazlık sınıfı A kategorisi (alev almaz) olan malzeme kullanılmalıdır.

Düşük ve çok düşük seviyeli radyoaktif atıklar için en az yanmazlık sınıfı B2 sınıfı olmalı (kullanılan malzeme alev kaynağı uzaklaştırıldığında yanmaya devam etmemelidir).

Parlayıcılığı 65 0C altında olan hiçbir malzeme radyoaktif atıklarla birlikte kullanılmamalıdır.

Class A non-combustible material must be used for intermediate- and high-level waste.

At least Class B2 material must be used for low- and very-low-level waste.

Materials with a flash point below 65 °C must not be used with the waste.

Lightning conductors containing Ra-226 and Am-241 must be packaged separately; Ra-226 lightning conductors must be placed in a shielded crate meeting the 30 µSv/h limit.

Radioactive waste must not be packaged or transported together with, or side by side to, other classes of dangerous goods.

Other materials within the package must not be adversely affected by radiation or alter the characteristics of the waste.

Shielding or packaging must not make it impossible to determine the number of sources or to access the source.

Sealed sources must be delivered intact in their transport container or device; sources whose integrity has been compromised must be provided with additional shielding.

Packages must be secured during transport using pallets, chocks, ropes, ratchet straps or similar means.

The package type and transport index must be indicated by a radioactive material label compliant with the applicable legislation.

Materials contaminated with NORM-TENORM or artificial radioisotopes weighing 3 tonnes or more, including packaging and securing elements, must be delivered in an unused and undamaged ISO 20-foot or ISO 40-foot container. Contaminated materials below 3 tonnes must be transported in leak-tight, top-opening, robust and weather-resistant packages with suitable clearances for forklift forks.

For container deliveries, four new Twistlocks and two Bridge Fittings must be provided for each container; installation must be carried out on the facility site by the organisation delivering the waste. The carrier is responsible for the costs of unloading, stacking, crane services and competent personnel.

No other waste, such as bare or sealed sources, lightning conductors, radioactive gauges or compasses, may be placed in a container or package containing contaminated scrap. A chargeable specialist service will be applied in cases of incomplete declaration or incorrect classification.

Where 10 or more medical generators are delivered at one time, they must be wrapped or secured on robust pallets so as to prevent overturning.

Names and radioactivities of the radioisotopes

Physical/chemical form of the waste

If contained in a device: device type, make, model, serial number and licence details

Surface dose rate and transport index

Details of the person or organisation producing the waste

Process in which the waste was generated

Net weight and quantity

Whether the shielding contains DU and, if so, the quantity

If the radioisotope, activity or amount of DU cannot be determined, a chargeable identification and segregation specialist service must be used. Although the information may be provided by declaration, the quantity in the package must be capable of verification by facility staff. A specialist fee may also be charged for removing layers such as oil, dust, cement or paint that obscure the make, model, serial number or source information.

A transport package type compliant with the applicable legislation must be selected.

For deliveries of 3 tonnes or more, a sound ISO 20-foot or 40-foot container must be used and its capacity must not be exceeded.

Dispersible forms such as liquids, powders and gases must first be placed in leak-tight packages of no more than 1 m³.

Forms with a density of 1 g/cm³ or less must be packaged in leak-tight plastic containers or big bags; denser materials must be packaged in leak-tight metal containers.

Materials such as soil, sand, rubble and slag must be placed in the container in leak-tight drums or certified big bags.

Non-dispersible items such as scrap pipes, systems and machinery may be placed directly in the container.

A weighbridge ticket or delivery note must be submitted; the facility's weighbridge measurement will prevail.

Nested containers must not leak; fragile containers must be protected by supports that provide shock resistance.

Waste Package Strength and Quality Control

The package must not undergo deterioration such as shrinkage, expansion, or gas or particle generation.

A certificate must be available confirming that the package has passed the tests required under the Regulation on the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials.

It must be resistant to aqueous environments and mechanically stable, and must withstand a pressure of at least 10 MPa.

Package characteristics must be verified by TSE, UN, CE or equivalent documentation.

The person/organisation delivering the waste and the carrier must be authorised by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NDK).

The source licence, production certificate, analysis report, transport licence, ADR documentation and SRC 5 Class 7 certificates must be complete.

Labelling, packaging and transport must comply with the applicable legislation and Guideline RSGD-KLV-035.

Waste that does not comply with the conditions may, following assessment by RAIT specialists, be placed in temporary storage or returned without acceptance. Where temporary storage is used, a service application must be submitted and the waste will be stored for a fee until the conditions are met.

Packages arriving at the facility are checked for compliance with legislative, labelling, dose-rate, contamination, identification, stacking, internal arrangement and strength requirements. Measurements are made using calibrated instruments, physical conditions are assessed by visual inspection, and matters requiring certification are assessed on the basis of the documents submitted.

Non-compliant packages may, within the facility's capabilities, be brought into compliance through additional shielding, packaging, labelling, measurement or identification. A specialist fee starting from one specialist/one day is charged for these operations. If this is not possible, temporary storage will be applied or the waste will be returned; any return will be notified to the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NDK).
