The distribution of activities relative to the IAEA scheme was based upon known activities of low activity uranium containing waste. Most of this waste has activities below 400 Bq/g, therefore it is considered as near surface disposal waste (i.e. LILW-SL). Some Americium 241 waste from neutron generators and guages have activities >4000 Bq/g. This is LILW-LL (about 2% by v olume)

CHILECLASS Waste Matrix Used:
UGDR is organized under Chilean Comission for Nuclear Energy (CCHEN) and it is charged with the processing research and
developing, as also the operations for collection, treatment, conditioning and storage of all radioactive waste produced in the country due to its own nuclear development which is solely for peaceful purposes. UGDR centralizes its activites in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, to give the service to all radioactive waste producers in the country.
