A successful bidder shall have Department of Transportation (DOT) registration for transportation of hazardous materials and personnel who are certified as being trained for handling, packaging, and shipping radioactive and mixed hazardous waste.
Failure to manage radioactive waste including timely treatment and disposal could result in regulatory violations, fines, and/or the revocation of the VAAAHS permit to use radioactive material under the Department of Veterans Affairs Master Materials Licenses issued by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The VAAAHS system has two locations in which radioactive LLW will be picked up, 2215 Fuller Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan and 1200 South Detroit Avenue, Toledo, Ohio.
