8Nuclear installation—prescribed activity level for radioactive waste disposal facilities

#### 8 Nuclear installation—prescribed activity level for radioactive waste disposal facilities (1) This regulation applies to a radioactive waste disposal facility if: (a) it contains, or is designed to contain, controlled materials; and (b) the result worked out for a waste package of the controlled materials, using the steps mentioned in subregulation (3) (the activity concentration value steps), is greater than 102. (2) For paragraph (c) of the definition of nuclear installation in section 13 of the Act, the activity level, for a radioactive waste disposal facility to which this regulation applies, is the level at which the result worked out for the controlled materials in the facility, using the steps mentioned in subregulation (4) (the activity value steps), is 108. > Note: Under section 13 of the Act, a radioactive waste disposal facility with an activity that is greater than the activity level prescribed is a nuclear installation. (3) For paragraph (1)(b), the activity concentration value steps are: (a) divide the activity of each nuclide in the waste package by the mass of the waste package; and (b) divide the result for each nuclide worked out under paragraph (a) by the activity concentration value mentioned in an item in the table in clause 2 of Schedule 2 for the nuclide; and (c) if there is more than 1 nuclide in the waste package—add the result for each nuclide worked out under paragraph (b). (4) For subregulation (2), the activity value steps are: (a) divide the activity of each nuclide in the controlled materials in the facility by the activity value mentioned in an item in the table in clause 2 of Schedule 2 for the nuclide; and (b) if there is more than 1 nuclide in the controlled materials—add the result for each nuclide worked out under paragraph (a).
