Art. 114 Landfilling with the approval of the licensing authority

1 Ra­dio­act­ive waste may, in in­di­vidu­al cases, with the ap­prov­al of the li­cens­ing au­thor­ity, be dis­posed of to land­fill if:

a.
over­all, tak­ing in­to ac­count oth­er ma­ter­i­als present in the land­fill, the clear­ance lim­it is not ex­ceeded; or
b.
at no time can an ef­fect­ive dose of 10 µSv per cal­en­dar year be ac­cu­mu­lated as a res­ult of the dis­pos­al.

2 The FOPH shall mon­it­or com­pli­ance with the per­miss­ible ef­fect­ive dose via the sampling and meas­ure­ment pro­gramme spe­cified in Art­icle 193.

3 The spe­cif­ic activ­ity of ra­dio­act­ive waste thus dis­posed of must not ex­ceed 100 times the clear­ance lim­it and, for waste con­tain­ing ar­ti­fi­cial ra­di­um, 1000 times the clear­ance lim­it.

4 For the dis­pos­al of ra­dio­act­ive waste con­tain­ing tech­nic­ally en­hanced ra­di­um, the fol­low­ing con­di­tions must ad­di­tion­ally be met:

a.
The waste arose be­fore 1 Oc­to­ber 1994.
b.
Dis­pos­al via the usu­al chan­nels would be im­possible or would in­volve dis­pro­por­tion­ate ef­forts.
c.
Re­mov­al rep­res­ents a sig­ni­fic­antly bet­ter op­tion for people and the en­vir­on­ment over­all than main­ten­ance of the status quo.
