In fact, the regulatory definitions are often contradictory. 

In addition to the effort required to develop a comprehensive and risk-based hazardous waste classification system based on NCRP s recommendations, several legal and regulatory impediments would need to be addressed. However, the resulting classification system would be more transparent and understandable than the separate classification systems for radioactive and hazardous chemical wastes... 

Section 7 then addresses the implications of the recommended risk-based waste classification system. By assuming key parameters (e.g., values of acceptable risk, characteristics of exposure scenarios) and applying the system to a variety of example waste streams, the question of how existing wastes would be classified in the new system is investigated. This Section also summarizes the legal and regulatory ramifications of the proposed hazardous waste classification system.
