Nev. Admin. Code § 459.8265 - Characteristics of each class
Radioactive waste is classified according to its concentration of radionuclides and the following characteristics:
1. Class A waste is waste that meets the minimum requirements for packaging. Class A waste must be segregated from other classes of waste unless it meets the requirements for stability, in which case it does not have to be segregated.
2. Class B waste is waste that meets more rigorous requirements on form to ensure stability after disposal. Class B waste must meet the minimum requirements for physical form and packaging and for stability.
3. Class C waste is waste that not only meets more rigorous requirements on form to ensure stability but also requires additional measures at the disposal area to protect against inadvertent intrusion. Class C waste must meet the minimum requirements for physical form and packaging and for stability.
