RADIOACTIVE PCB WASTE Sample Clauses
The RADIOACTIVE PCB WASTE clause defines the handling, management, and disposal requirements for waste materials that contain both radioactive substances and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This clause typically outlines the procedures for identifying, segregating, packaging, and transporting such waste in compliance with applicable environmental and safety regulations. For example, it may specify the need for specialized containers, documentation, and coordination with licensed disposal facilities. Its core function is to ensure that hazardous waste combining radioactivity and PCBs is managed safely and legally, thereby protecting human health and the environment while ensuring regulatory compliance.
RADIOACTIVE PCB WASTE. Radioactive PCB waste is any waste which is radioactive, as defined in NAVSEA 389-0288, “Radiological Controls for Shipyards” and which contains polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) subject to the disposal regulations of 40CFR761, promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The contractor shall not employ equipment or material which are known or suspected of containing PCBs in the performance of radiological work under this contract, without prior written approval from Electric Boat. To the extent practicable, radioactive materials shall not be mixed or adulterated with products which could cause the resulting waste to be subject to the requirements of TSCA.
