Non Discrete Items
Bag of soil or sand
Decision summary:
This is not a Discrete Item.
Explanation:
- Not considered robust and would attract no particular interest on erosion.
The LLW Disposal WAC Discrete Item Limit does not apply.
Important Considerations
Note 1: These items should only be considered for disposal to the Repository if all diversion options are unsuitable. Always consider the Waste Hierarchy and minimise LLW disposal. This item has the potential to be: reused; disposed to permitted landfill; or, volume reduced via supercompaction.
Note 2: Items must be assessed against all relevant LLW Disposal WAC conditions.
Note 3: ‘Durable’ refers to durability in the Repository environment within the lifetime of the Repository.
