This panel focused on examining the ongoing and increasing practice of blending US low-level radioactive waste to modify its class to facilitate disposal. The discussion will address blending of Class B and C waste with Class A waste to reduce the overall waste stream to Class A waste. The panel will also examine if this practice should be viewed as risk-informed or deregulation in nature. Panelists: Christianne Ridge, US NRC; Thomas Magette, Senior Vice President, Nuclear Regulatory Strategy, EnergySolutions; William Dornsife, Vice President, Waste Control Specialists LLC; James Clarke, Professor, Vanderbilt University; Michael Mobley, Chair, Southeast Compact Commission; and Diane D'Arigio, Nuclear Research Information Services (NIRS) (USA).
