As part of this study, proposed radioactive waste classification systems that differ from the existing classification system in the United States were reviewed and evaluated. Of particular interest is the classification system currently recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This classification system and the disposal options for each waste class are summarized in Table 1.2. The basic waste classification system consists of exempt waste, low-and intermediate-level waste, and high-level waste. 

This Section discusses the historical development and current approaches to classification and disposal of radioactive waste. Classification and requirements for disposal of different radioactive wastes in the United States are emphasized, particularly the relationship between waste classification and requirements for disposal much of this discussion is adapted from a previous paper (Kocher, 1990). Proposals for alternative radioactive waste classification systems are reviewed. Classification systems developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the relationship between waste classification and disposal requirements in IAEA recommendations are discussed in some detail. Waste classification systems developed in other countries are briefly mentioned.

The ICRP works closely with the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), with UN bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), and other special and regional organizations. The most important results of the ICRP are reported in the ICRP Publications, several of them as general recommendations for radiation protection, including dosimetry and health effects (ICRP 1977). The most... 

This appendix contains evaluated and recommended data on a selected set of radionuclides suitable for use in the energy and efficiency calibration of detectors. The data in the first edition of this book were taken from X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Standards for Detector Calibration, published by the International Atomic Energy Agency as IAEA TECDOC-619. Since that time, the data have been re-evaluated and extended within the international Decay Date Evaluation Project (DDEP). After much delay, the updated data were published by the IAEA as XGAMMA (X-ray and Gamma-ray Decay Data Standards for Detector Calibration and Other Applications) in late spring, 2007.
