From page 39...
... A visual examination is performed on a fraction of the waste containers by placing the waste contents into a gIovebox to verify the acceptable knowledge and real-time radiography information. DOE proposed that two percent of the initial population of containers of each waste stream be visually examined, and if these evaluations resulted in few miscertifications, then the percentage of subsequent waste containers to undergo visual examination would be reduced.
