2N17 - Legacy Drums (Bulk)
Historically, drums of waste from numerous sites were consigned to the LLWR for interim storage, prior to transfer to Sellafield Ltd for storage and/or processing. During a detailed provenance investigation carried out during the early stages of the project, sufficient evidence was identified to suggest that the Legacy Drum population arrived at the LLWR Site at some point during the 1960's. Subsequent investigations identified that the drums may also contain uranium fluoride-based wastes.

2N18 - Low Level Waste Drums
Historically, drums of waste from numerous sites were consigned to the LLWR for LLW Disposal. They have been stored on the LLWR site for ~30 years. There is a total of ten x 400 litre drums. Re-characterisation of the drums has enabled 7 of them to be re-classified as VLLW (3 remain as LLW). This waste stream covers the full inventory of ten drums.

2P03 - BTC Level 3 Laboratories and Other General Active Areas
General laboratory wastes plus general wastes arising from normal building operations.

2P05 - BTC Rig Hall
Waste generated from the Rig Hall is from the manufacture, operation and POCO of the 'Geomelt' and other associated test rigs researched by NNL. Geomelt is a rig to demonstrate ability to convert a series of waste forms into durable vitrified product. This consists or a vitrified monolith, contained within a cast refractory box. These incorporate the waste form (eg soil, sand, sludges) and some radiological inventory. The majority of the blocks will be classified as LA-LLW as they are below 200 Bq/g, containing either Cs-137 or Sr-85. These have been disposed of. Three of the blocks contain natural uranium and are classified as LLW. Typical associated waste arisings will be in the majority steel and metal work arising from the dismantling of rigs as well as gloves, paper, PVC, rubber and plastics from general operations.

2S09 - Waste from P.I.E. Operations
Disassembly of WAGR stringers, and the PIE of WAGR fuels. Stream also contains WAGR operational wastes (mostly steel stringer components) that were in store ex-reactor at shut-down. The waste stream also includes waste from WAGR and waste from PIE and supporting operations in the Windscale Active Handling Facility. This also includes two neutron sources.
