LLW (low level waste):
is radioactive waste that is more easily described by what it is not. This is even true of the Policies Acts and Regulations that define LLW as radioactive material that is not TRU, HLW, spent nuclear fuel, or by product material from uranium, plutonium, or thorium mines (Atomic Energy Act section 11(e)2 by-product material). LLW can consist of short-lived and long-lived isotopes.
