< Back WMG Welcomes Four New Sites Into the RADMAN™ Family Jun 16, 2021 We’re excited to announce that four new commercial sites are using our world-class software! Recently, 4 new sites have joined the WMG family and adopted the industry standard RADMAN™ Suite: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, NEWGreen Legacy Services, Columbia Generating Station, and Comanche Peak. We’re thrilled to announce these partnerships and look forward to assisting these new clients wherever possible with the top-tier customer support & service that WMG is known for. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) CNL is Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, and a world leader in developing nuclear technology for peaceful and innovative applications. CNL is helping to restore and protect the environment, advancing clean energy technology, and pioneering medical breakthroughs to continue improving the health of people around the world.As part of a major technology and work process modernization effort, CNL evaluated numerous vendors and software packages, ultimately selecting RADMAN™ for their rad material management software. CNL also worked closely with WMG to define and develope a custom software application that integrates with RADMAN™ to create a comprehensive sample management and analysis suite. Comanche Peak WMG is pleased to welcome Comanche Peak, a two-unit nuclear power plant southwest of Dallas, Texas as one of our newest RADMAN™ subscribers! Comanche Peak recognized WMG’s high level of customer support, our continuous improvements to RADMAN™, and the integration of end-user feedback from the past 25 years to provide more value than lower cost alternatives they had previously used. Columbia Generating Station Columbia Generating Station is the only operating commercial nuclear power plant in the country that ships waste to US Ecology. After several years of using a competing software product, Columbia Generating Station opted to return to RADMAN™ for its simplicity, accuracy and best in class support. We’re excited to have them return and look forward to helping them meet their radwaste software needs. NewGreen Legacy Services WMG, Inc. is pleased to announce an agreement to provide the RAMSHP™ & StORM™ software subscription to NEWGreen Legacy Services, Inc. RAMSHP™ is used to manifest and document radioactive materials shipments between licensees. RAMSHP™ will characterize, ship, and track radioactive material shipments in accordance with NRC and DOT regulations as well as IAEA, ICAO and IATA rules and regulations. StORM™ is a companion program to RAMSHP™ and is used to characterize, inventory, and track vendor equipment received on-site in support of outage activities. It will maintain the inventory received and enables the user to quickly re-characterize the equipment and manifest it for return once the outage is over. Previous Next

< Back Important Update Mar 31, 2023 Regarding the NRC's Uniform Low-Level Waste Manifest... Many have noticed that the current US NRC Uniform Low-Level Waste Manifest (UWM) included several new additions when Revision 3 was issued in June of 2021. One of these new additions was the inclusion of an OMB number and expiration date. The current UWM had an expiration date of 1/31/2023, which led many sites to question whether it is acceptable to continue using an expired manifest. As a result of a WMG discussion with the NRC on February 13th 2023, to address the expiration date of the UWM, the NRC has updated their website to include guidance that "use of the NRC UWM forms with the 1/31/2023 expiration date and the form date of 06-2021 is acceptable in the interim". Further, the NRC informed WMG that the expected OMB approval of the UWM will not result in any material changes to the manifest with the exception of a change of the expiration date and/or form date. The NRC has said that going forward, the NRC form library will be updated every 30 days, with a new expiration date until OMB approval has been issued. In the interim, it is not necessary to revise your waste manifests, nor is it necessary to remediate the waste manifest by striking the expiration date. The updated clarification is in bold text at the top of the NRC Low-Level Waste Disposal page, which can be found here: Uniform Waste Manifest | NRC.gov Previous Next

New EPA Requirement in 2025 for all LQGs & SQGs Check out the new EPA requirements for 2025! Beginning January 22, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring all Large and Small Quantity Generators (LQGs and SQGs) to register and maintain an account in RCRAInfo to meet the new regulatory changes made by the e-Manifest Third Final Rule . This new EPA registration requirement ensures all small and large quantity hazardous waste generators can access e-Manifest to obtain their final signed manifest copies from the system. For more instructions on how to register visit the e-Manifest User Registration webpage For a list of LQGs and SQGs without a Site Manager or Certifier, please visit the e-Manifest Third Rule Compliance Check to download the list For more information on EPA’s Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System (e-Manifest) visit the e-Manifest webpage Also beginning January 22, 2025, the EPA is requiring the use of a new 4-copy (four page) hazardous waste manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A). EPA has changed the manifest forms, manifest instructions, and the hazardous waste manifest requirements corresponding to completion of the manifest forms for international shipments. Generators may continue to use the obsolete 5-copy (five page) manifest forms until December 01, 2025. Page 3 (“Designated Facility” Copy) has been removed from the 5-copy manifest, since generators will no longer receive a final signed paper copy mailed back to them. They must retrieve the completed manifest in their registered account in e-Manifest. The new four-copy manifest form will be as follows: Page 1: “Designated facility or U.S. exporter to the EPA's e-Manifest system” (top copy) Page 2: “Designated facility to generator” (e.g. Polychlorinated Biphenyls “PCBs” shipments) Page 3: “Transporter copy” Page 4: “Generator's initial copy” (bottom copy) Previous Next
