I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE A. PURPOSE The purpose of these Guidelines is to establish general requirements and provide practical information for the design and manufacture of packages for sea dumping of radioactive waste, in accordance with the terms of the OECD Council Decision establishing a Multilateral Consultation and Surveillance Mechanism for Sea Dumping of Radioactive Waste [1]. These Guidelines are in compliance with the IAEA Revised Definition and Recommendations of 1978 [2] for applying the London Dumping Convention [3] to radioactive waste, and are intended for application under the responsibility of the appropriate national authorities of countries participating in the NEA Mechanism. B. SCOPE These Guidelines refer only to packaging of those radioactive waste which fall outside the IAEA's Revised Definition of 1978 for high-level radioactive waste or other high-level radioactive matter considered to be unsuitable for dumping at sea under the London Dumping Convention. The Guidelines cover the technical aspects of packaging solid or solidified radioactive waste, insofar as they are relevant to dumping at sea. Examples of several types of sea dumping packages which meet the requirements outlined in these Guidelines are given in Annex I. These are types presently in use and are representative of current technology. They do not constitute a complete list of all the packages which conform to the Guidelines and are intended for illustrative purposes only.
