Technical Assistance for Developing Guidance to Evaluate Evapotranspiration Covers

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires technical assistance the purpose of developing a NUREG report establishing agency guidance on evaluating the design and long-term performance of evapotranspiration (ET) covers for radioactive waste disposal sites. The NUREG report will provide guidance on the design, construction and monitoring of ET covers at radioactive waste sites that are regulated or assessed by the NRC such as Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) Title I and Title II sites and certain Department of Energy (DOE) radioactive waste disposal sites.
