The rule also introduces a new risk-informed framework for low-level waste disposal in which sites can develop waste acceptance criteria based on site-specific characteristics rather than using prescriptive limits. The proposed rule would allow for a graded approach: facilities that do not plan to accept significant quantities of long-lived radionuclides or Greater-Than-Class C waste will only need to meet a streamlined set of requirements, while those managing these waste streams must conduct technical assessments to ensure long- term safety. The proposed rule would also introduce new options for disposal of higher concentrations of waste, providing new alternatives for safe low-level waste management. These innovations support public health and environmental protection, as well as safe disposal of low- level radioactive waste, encourage operational efficiency, and offer greater flexibility for both current and future disposal facilities. In addition, the NRC is issuing draft implementing guidance for public comment.","document_number":"2026-13302","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/01/2026-13302/integrated-low-level-radioactive-waste-disposal","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-01/pdf/2026-13302.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13302.pdf?1782823519","publication_date":"2026-07-01","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"excerpts":"radionuclide concentrations above which GTCC <span class=\"match\">waste</span> is generally not acceptable for near-surface disposal, and for any type of land disposal.

Because there may be safe alternatives available and in use today that capture and treat emissions prior to release, regulations would be revised to describe specified procedures for the existing requirements to evaluate and implement alternative treatment technologies.
