Abstract
Radioactive wastes must comply with certain requirements for storage, disposal, and transportation. A uniform system of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) measures, data acquisition, and documentation must be developed. The responsibility for this task is divided among three German organizations.
Compliance between the waste package properties and the waste acceptance requirements of the repository is demonstrated either by checks on randomly selected waste packages or by qualification and subsequent inspections of conditioning processes.
A new guideline for the control of radioactive wastes has been published. It develops appropriate measures for conditioning, storage, and transportation of radioactive wastes and is compatible with the waste acceptance requirements and the QA/QC measures.
An electronic waste flow control and documentation system, which fulfills the requirements of the guideline for the control of radioactive wastes and the waste acceptance requirements, has been developed.
