The standards prescribe the general pre-disposal waste management con­siderations, guidelines and standards for Necsa and also provide a frame­work for the development of specific pre-disposal waste management standards for inclusion in the ‘facility specific solid radioactive waste man­agement programmes’.

20.1.8 Quality requirements for solid radioactive waste management

The arrangements for compliance assurance during all waste management process steps ensure proper implementation of the waste management system. This quality management programme will provide the guidelines for ensuring that

• Facility-specific waste management programmes are developed in accordance with the Necsa waste management plan and system requirements

• The facility-specific waste management programmes are properly implemented

• Proper quality control is executed during all waste management proc­esses (waste generators and waste operators).
