2 Waste Class Matrix(ces) Used/Defined Waste Class Matrix: IAEA Def., t Used : The Agency's standard matrix Waste Class Matrix: : GER Waste Class LILW_SL% LILW_LL% HLW% NHGW HGW NHGW = negligible heat generating waste HGW = heat-generating waste The percentages in the matrix are based upon waste characteristics including radionuclide inventory and estimated annual arisings provided by the waste generators (Internal BfS-report ET-IB-52). The characteristics were compared with the limits for long lived nuclides and heat generation specified for the IAEA's waste classification scheme. Comment #255: waste-classification According to repository-relevant aspects all radioactive waste produced is basically classified in waste with negligible heat generation (NHGW) and heat-generating waste (HGW). NHGW is defined in the "guideline concerning the controlling of radioactive waste with negligible heat generation that do not have to be delivered to a federal state collecting depot" [1] as waste to be disposed of in the planned Konrad repository. I.e. the radionuclide inventory of NHGW is limited by the Konrad waste acceptance requirements [2]. Radioactive waste exceeding these limits (i.e. spent fuel and radioactive waste from reprocessing of spent fuel) is considered HGW.
