(B) For purposes of this section, a person who provides for or arranges for the collection, transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated by others is a generator only to the extent that the personâs own actions, or the actions of the personâs agent, employee, or independent contractor, generate low-level radioactive waste. (3) âPersonâ means an individual, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity, including any state, interstate, federal, or municipal governmental entity. (4) âWasteâ means material that is not in use and is no longer useful. (5) âGenerator categoryâ includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: (A) Nuclear powerplants.

(7) âClassâ means the class of low-level radioactive waste. âClass A,â âclass B,â and âclass Câ waste are those classes defined in Section 61.55 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (8) âLicensed LLRW disposal facilityâ means any of the three disposal facilities located at Barnwell, South Carolina; Clive, Utah; or Richland, Washington, that exist on January 1, 2003. (b) The department shall, for the protection of public health and safety maintain a file of each manifest from each generator of LLRW that is sent to a disposal facility or to a facility subject to the Southwestern Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact, as set forth in Article 17 (commencing with Section 115250). (c) The department shall, for the protection of public health and safety, maintain a file of all LLRW transferred for disposal to a licensed LLRW disposal facility during the reporting period, either directly or through a broker or agent, that shall meet all of the following conditions: (1) Specify the category of generator, class, quantity by activity, and volume of LLRW, including an estimate of the peak and average quantities in storage, along with the identity of the generator, and the chemical and physical characteristics of that waste, including its half-life, properties, or constituents, and radionuclides present at, or above, the minimum labeling requirements, with their respective concentrations and amounts of radioactivity. (2) Be updated annually, at minimum, to ensure an accurate and timely depiction of radioactive waste in the state. (3) Include all of the following information in the file: (A) The total volume, volume by class, and activity by radionuclide and class. (B) The types and specifications of individual containers used and the number of each type transferred for disposal. (C) The maximum surface radiation exposure level on any single container of LLRW transferred, the number of disposal containers that exceed 200 mR/hour, and the volume, class, and activity by radionuclide. (D) The identification of each licensed LLRW disposal facility to which LLRW was transferred, either directly or through a broker or agent, and the volume and activity by class of LLRW transferred by each broker to each licensed LLRW disposal facility.
