This Operating Experience Level 2 (OE-2) document provides information on a safety concern related to site waste generation activities, waste generated and stored on-site or being repackaged, and retrieval and repackaging of legacy wastes received from other Department of Energy (DOE) sites. Although the events in this OE-2 are related to transuranic (TRU) waste, the scope of this OE-2 includes all types of radioactive waste.

This OE-2 has required actions for radioactive and mixed waste generation and storage sites to complete a site-specific extent of conditions review by October 31, 2019, to summarize the results and report those results to your Program's Chief of Nuclear Safety.
