Institutional control. Control of a waste site (for example, disposal site) by an authority or institution designated under the laws of a country or state. This control may be active (monitoring, surveillance, remedial work) or passive (land use control) and may be a factor in the design of a nuclear facility (for example, near surface disposal facility).
