WESKEM has safely shipped over 30 million kilograms of radioactive, hazardous and mixed waste to five approved TSDFs for treatment and/or disposal over the past three years. These wastes have included low-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, special nuclear material, RCRA hazardous waste, Toxic Substance Control Act waste, mixed waste, and shock sensitive wastes.

WESKEM has developed and received approval for over 50 waste profiles in accordance with TSDF Waste Acceptance Criteria. All WESKEM waste transportation documents and shipping activities receive detailed peer review to ensure compliance with regulatory and TSDF requirements. Prior to waste transportation, the receiving TSDF is notified and provides shipping authorization.

WESKEM ensures that all Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability requirements are fully addressed for nuclear waste disposition. WESKEM routinely prepares all necessary documentation to facilitate transfer of responsibility for nuclear materials between the originating site and the receiving facility.

Waste shipped to a TSDF for treatment and/or disposal is tracked and monitored to ensure safe arrival. The WESKEM waste disposition team provides confirmation to our clients that waste shipments are received by the TSDF and that the waste was properly treated and/or disposed. These confirmation documents are also quality records and are maintained with the waste records. The final records of disposition are thoroughly reviewed to ensure accuracy and completeness. Any discrepancies between the records and TSDF activities are immediately reported to the customer, TSDF and regulatory authorities as appropriate.
