### sec.12 Disposal of particular mineral substances, other than into air, water or sewerage system— Act , s 26 Subsection (2) applies in relation to the disposal, other than into the air, water or a sewerage system, of radioactive material that is a mineral substance that— contains only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for the radionuclide multiplied by 10. For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act , the maximum concentration prescribed for the disposal of the mineral substance is the concentration worked out by multiplying the concentration stated in schedule 1 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide by 10. Subsection (4) applies in relation to the disposal, other than into the air, water or a sewerage system, of radioactive material that is a mineral substance that— contains more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for each of the radionuclides multiplied by 10. For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act , the maximum concentration prescribed for the disposal of the mineral substance is a concentration resulting in a disposal factor for the mineral substance of 1. In this section— disposal factor , for a mineral substance mentioned in subsection (3) and containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1, means the total of the amounts worked out for each of the radionuclides using the formula— where— A , for a radionuclide, means the amount for the radionuclide. C , for a radionuclide, means the radionuclide’s concentration, measured in Bq per gram. MC , for a radionuclide, means the amount worked out by multiplying the concentration stated in schedule 1 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide by 10. (sec.12-ssec.1) Subsection (2) applies in relation to the disposal, other than into the air, water or a sewerage system, of radioactive material that is a mineral substance that— contains only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for the radionuclide multiplied by 10. (sec.12-ssec.2) For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act , the maximum concentration prescribed for the disposal of the mineral substance is the concentration worked out by multiplying the concentration stated in schedule 1 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide by 10. (sec.12-ssec.3) Subsection (4) applies in relation to the disposal, other than into the air, water or a sewerage system, of radioactive material that is a mineral substance that— contains more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for each of the radionuclides multiplied by 10. (sec.12-ssec.4) For section 26 (1) (a) of the Act , the maximum concentration prescribed for the disposal of the mineral substance is a concentration resulting in a disposal factor for the mineral substance of 1. (sec.12-ssec.5) In this section— disposal factor , for a mineral substance mentioned in subsection (3) and containing more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1, means the total of the amounts worked out for each of the radionuclides using the formula— where— A , for a radionuclide, means the amount for the radionuclide. C , for a radionuclide, means the radionuclide’s concentration, measured in Bq per gram. MC , for a radionuclide, means the amount worked out by multiplying the concentration stated in schedule 1 , column 2 opposite the radionuclide by 10. - (a) contains only 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and - (b) has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for the radionuclide multiplied by 10. - (a) contains more than 1 of the radionuclides mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1; and - (b) has gross alpha and gross beta concentrations in the leachate worked out under the TCLP that are each equal to or less than the concentration stated in the Australian drinking water guidelines for each of the radionuclides multiplied by 10.
