The purpose of this document is to establish waste acceptance technical requirements for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System (CRWMS). These requirements and functions consist of two types: (a) internal CRWMS requirements derived from the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System Requirements Document (CRD) (DOE 2007a) as illustrated in Figure 1, and (b) acceptance criteria imposed by the CRWMS on spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste (HLW) delivered into the CRWMS.
The purpose also includes, in addition to the CRWMS-related requirements that flow down to the Waste Acceptance System Requirements Document (WASRD) from the CRWMS, requirements and functions that, by mutual agreement with external organizations, are described, codified, and regulated by the WASRD. These other functions and requirements include:
• Federal Waste Custodians require their contractors to conform to WASRD requirements;
• The WASRD is the agreed upon reference source of waste acceptance criteria to which Federal
Waste Custodians must conform for their wastes to be received by the repository;
• The WASRD is the agreed upon reference source for conformance verification criteria (this effort is in its very earliest stages);
• The WASRD is the reference for the details of Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (RW)/ Office of Environmental Management (EM) agreement on technical information needs to support receipt;
• The WASRD is the official reference for the Integrated Acceptance Schedule (also in its early stages).
The scope of the WASRD is all SNF and HLW bound for the repository.
