7F23 - Submarine Reactor Wastes (Metallic LLW)
Metallic LLW is generated primarily from NRP maintenance; secondary wastes are generated in the nuclear facilities that provide submarine support services e.g. radioactive component processing, radiochemistry laboratory, etc.

7F26/C - Conditioned Ion Exchange Resin from Nuclear Effluent Plants
IXR used to remove radioactivity from low level aqueous radioactive waste from the Naval Programme.

7F28 - Tritiated Desiccant
The radioactivity present in the wastestream originates entirely from a design leak rate of tritium which is adsorbed by desiccant during weapons transport and storage.

7J23 - Miscellaneous ILW
MoD stock and residual holdings of NNPP material and effluent receipt facility material.

7J25 - Luminised Waste
Luminised scrap/unserviceable MOD stores items and other radioactive items from the de-equipping of ships, together with smaller quantities (annually <1m³) from the MOD Institute of Naval Medicine Alverstoke.

7J27 - Intermediate Level Tritium Waste
MOD Remediation processing of unserviceable tritium luminised equipment and items returned to the Logistics Radioactive Storehouse facility at HMNB Portsmouth produces comtaminated materials from the removal of the H3 luminising items such as 'flags and valves including GTLS for recyling and disposal. the leeching effects of tritium cause the majority of the housing materials to be contaminated. These items plus tissues, smears polythene sheeting are generated in the decontamination and clean up processes.

7N03 - MOD Donnington Miscellaneous LLW
The waste arises from disposal of redundant military equipment.

7V24 - Metallic ILW from Vulcan
Reactor decommissioning ILW comprising irradiated steel components. Only the internals of the Reactor 1 Pressure Vessels and the Primary Circuit IX column are expected to be ILW, the RPV itself and all surrounding reactor components are expected to be categorised as LLW.
