This document in the series specifies a compliance test providing information on leaching of granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments under the experimental conditions specified hereafter, and particularly a liquid to solid ratio of 2 L/kg dry matter. It applies to materials which have a particle size below 4 mm without or with size reduction.

This document has been developed to investigate the leaching of inorganic and non-volatile organic substances from granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments. It does not take into account the consequences of microbiological processes in organic degradable materials. The test procedure specified in this document produces an eluate which is subsequently characterized physically and chemically according to appropriate standard methods. This document includes two different procedures for eluate preparation prior to analysis, one procedure for non-volatile organic substances, inorganic substances and DOC and one for inorganic substances and DOC. When assessing only the leaching of inorganic substances and DOC, certain precautions are needed when assessing the leaching of organic substances can in some cases be omitted.

This procedure cannot be applied to materials with a water content or such a water affinity that a good mixing of the solid with the predetermined quantity of liquid is not achievable.

This procedure does not apply to materials reacting with the leachant, leading, for example, to excessive gas emission, a solidifying effect or an excessive heat release. In that case, the material can be wetted prior to carrying out the leaching test.

This test cannot be used alone to determine the leaching behaviour of granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments, as specified in EN 12920.

This document does not address issues related to health and safety.

This document in the series specifies a compliance test providing information on leaching of granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments under the experimental conditions specified hereafter, and particularly a liquid to solid ratio of 2 L/kg dry matter in a first step and subsequently of 8 L/kg dry matter in a second step. It applies to materials which have a particle size below 4 mm without or with size reduction.

This document specifies the content and structure of specifications for research and test reactors, including sections relevant to radioactive waste management, spent fuel management, and decommissioning considerations for existing and new fission research reactors. It identifies the organizational, technical, and procedural elements that support the pre-decommissioning preparatory phase and associated operational interfaces. The scope includes guidance on defining decommissioning tasks, characterizing waste streams, and establishing administrative and operational arrangements that support safe and effective decommissioning. Considerations related to organizational capacity, turnover of research personnel, and the development of safety and safeguards competencies are addressed where relevant. The document also provides guidance on needs-based waste management pathways applicable to research reactors located on open or publicly accessible campuses or research centres. Safety and protection considerations addressed in this document include administrative and operational controls, as well as waste management and storage arrangements associated with decommissioning activities in areas with varying levels of access control. While many waste-management and decommissioning principles are common across nuclear facilities, this document applies these principles specifically to research and test reactors, reflecting their operational characteristics, scale, and regulatory context.
