SUBJECT:

10 CFR 20.2002 Request for Alternate Waste Disposal at US Ecology Idaho Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-271 License No. DPR-28

Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests NRC approval of alternate waste disposal at the US Ecology, Inc (USEI) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle C hazardous waste disposal facility located near Grand View, Idaho. The waste will consist of approximately 200,000 gallons of low-activity radioactive waste containing byproduct material from activities associated with preparing for long term dormancy as part of the decommissioning process at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). This request is made under the alternate disposal provision contained in 10 CFR 20.2002.

ENO is collaborating with USEI on this request. Since the USEI facility is not an NRC-licensed disposal facility, USEI will submit under separate letter a request for an exemption pursuant to 10 CFR 30.11 to allow for the disposal of the byproduct material at the USEI facility.

Enclosure 1 to this letter provides a conservative radiological assessment of the planned disposal and a description of the waste material. The description includes the physical and chemical properties important to risk evaluation, along with the proposed manner and conditions of waste disposal.

ENO's request is similar to a request by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 in a letter dated May 2, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12135A295), as supplemented by email dated July 16, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12241A273). The NRC approved that request in a letter dated December 19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. MLI12244A084). The difference is that this request involves only contaminated liquids.

ENO requests review and approval of this request by April 15, 2016.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 1 of 8 VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION EVALUATION IN SUPPORT OF 10 CFR 20.2002 REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE WASTE DISPOSAL DOCKET NO. 50-271 1, INTRODUCTION Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests NRC authorization for alternate disposal of certain low-activity waste containing byproduct material from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY) at the US Ecology, Inc (USEI) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RORA),

Subtitle C hazardous waste disposal facility located near Grand View, Idaho. ENO is collaborating with USEI on this request. USEI will submit a request for exemption to 10 CFR 30.11 to allow for disposal of byproduct material at the USEI facility under a separate letter. The authority of 10 CFR 20.2002 and the exemptions requested from 10 CER 30.11 licensing requirements for byproduct material would allow ENO to transfer these wastes to the USEI facility for disposal.

The dose evaluation for this request for alternate disposal was performed using US Ecology's NRC-Approved Site Specific Dose Assessment Methodology (SSDA) for USEI. The SSDA provides a consolidated dose assessment framework for all occupational, transportation, and post-closure dose receptors required in 10 CFR 20.2002(d) - "Analyses and procedures to ensure that doses are maintainedALARPA and within the dose limits in this part." The information provided in this document as well as the Safety Evaluation Report and Environmental Assessment produced by the NRC serve to satisfy the requirements in

§20.2002(a), (b), and (c). The NRC approved the SSDA for use on August 24, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15125A364, provided as Enclosure 2).

Characteristics and operating parameters of the USE! disposal site are summarized in Section 2 of this Enclosure. Environmental conditions at the USEI site are well-documented in previous submittals to the NRC, including the Hematite Decommissioning Project (Docket #07000036) and the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning Project (Docket #50-133).

A description of the material to be disposed is included in Section 3. The material description includes physical and chemical properties of the material important to risk evaluation and the proposed conditions of waste disposal. Results of the SSDA dose evaluation are summarized in Section 4 for all occupational and transportation workers as well as postulated members of the public based on USEI's ResRad model (Ver. 6.5) and Inadvertent Intruder Scenarios described in NUREG-0782, "Draft Environmental Impact Statement on 10 CFR Part 61 Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," and NUREG/CR-4370, "Update of Part 61 Impacts Analysis Methodology - Methodology Report." Enclosure 3 contains the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) set forth in USEI's permit issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The SSDA Data Input Screen with all of the project inputs for the VY Wastewater project is provided in Enclosure 4. The conclusion confirms doses to workers and members of the public will be well below NRC limits.

USE! has previously received approval to receive wastewater containing fission and activation products from the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plan Unit 3 decommissioning project. A 10 CFR 30.11 exemption from licensing requirements was granted to USE! by the NRC on December 19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12299A056).

2. DISPOSAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS The USEI site is located in the Owyhee Desert of southwestern Idaho. It is at the end of Lemley Road, approximately 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) northwest of Grand View, (Owyhee County)

Idaho. Grand View has a population of approximately 340. Owyhee County is a ranching and

BVY 16-001 I Enclosure 11/Page 2 of 8 agricultural area of approximately 19,900 square kilometers (7,678 square miles). The county is sparsely populated, with an average population of 0.5 people per square kilometer (1.4 people per square mile per Reference 1).

This region has an arid climate with an average annual precipitation rate of 7.4 inches. The USEI site is located on a 1.6 kilometer (1 mile) wide plateau. Maximum surface relief on the facility is 27 meters (90 feet) and the mean surface elevation is 790 meters (2,600 feet) above sea level. The nearest residence is 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) southwest of the site. There are no other land uses in the immediate vicinity of the site.

The operational performance characteristics of the USEI site have been reviewed by the NRC and determined to be protective within the NRC's "less than a few millirem (mrem) per yea?'

policy for Alternate Disposal Requests first stated in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2004-08, "Results of the License Termination Rule Analysis," and reaffirmed in SECY-07-0060, "Basis for Justification and Approval Process for 10 CFR 20.2002 Authorizations and Options for Change." The NRC has granted USEI several 10 CFR 30.11 byproduct material exemptions for purposes of disposal of various licensee waste streams. Two key documents are referenced from previous NRC submittals:

  • Hazardous Waste Facility Siting License Application for Cell 16 (American Geotechnics, dated June 30, 2006); This document describes USEI's environmental setting and was accepted by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) as part of the 2005 siting process, which resulted in IDEQ approval (December 6, 2006) of USEI's request to expand its landfill operations. (ADAMS Accession No. ML100320540 - Attachment 7)
  • Summary of Hydrogeologic Conditions and Groundwater Flow Model for US Ecology Idaho Facility, Grand View, Idaho (Eagle Resources, dated January 13, 2010. This document provides a detailed description of USEI's site geology and hydrogeology.

(ADAMS Accession No. ML101170554 - Exhibit B)

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE WASTE The subject waste consists of approximately 200,000 gallons (~26,700 ft3) of water associated with decommissioning of VY and preparing the facility for long-term dormancy. Since the cessation of plant operations, plant process water has been drained from systems creating a surplus of water needed for make-up to the spent fuel pool. The water to be disposed of is currently stored in the former VY suppression chamber (Torus). The Torus has a capacity of 1.1 million gallons and currently is filled to approximately 96% of capacity. The water in the Torus is continuously circulated and filtered/demineralized to minimize suspended solids. For disposal, the water will be pumped from the Torus through the former High Pressure Coolant Injection suction strainers, which are located inside the Torus at an elevation that minimizes entrainment of sediment.

The wastewater being considered under this request will include fission and activation products resulting from VY operations. The waste concentrations are expected to be low. Water is assumed to have a density of 1.0 g/cc. Radiological characterization of the waste stream was performed through routine sampling and analysis of project waste materials as part of VY's 10 CFR 61 characterization program. The sample was drawn from the same location that will be used to pump the water for disposal.

A summary of the radionuclides and their concentrations are listed in Table 1 below. Full results of the Part 61 analytical results of the waste sample are provided in Enclosure 5.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 3 of 8 Table 1. Radionuclides Potentially Present in VY Waste Water Concentration Nuclide (pCi/ml)

Co-60 0.78 Cs-i137 0.33 H-3 1,870 Mn-54 0.04 Zn-65 0.24 The wastewater will be solidified with clay at USEI and disposed as a soil-like waste"upon receipt, The liquid solidification process at USEI is routinely used for applicable shipments. All wastes are conservatively assumed to be transported in a single year. To account for the solidification process at USEI, a total waste volume of 80,000 ft3 was entered into the SSDA workbook to account for the 'bulking' that will occur from the clay used to solidify the water. For conservatism, the wastewater concentrations were kept at the original characterized concentrations provided by VY and not diluted by the clay.

All shipments will have radioactivity concentrations well within the levels allowed in the site WAC set forth in USEI's permit issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (provided in Enclosure 3). The actual concentrations in the water shipments at the time of disposal will be reduced through the solidification process. These concentrations are also below levels requiring the waste to be classified as "radioactive material" for shipment purposes under U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.

4. RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT As described~in the following exposure scenarios, the dose equivalent for the Maximally Exposed Individual (MEl) has been demonstrated to not exceed "a few mrem per year." The standard of a "few mrem per year'to a member of the public is set forth in NRC RIS 2004-08, "Results of the License Termination Rule Analysis."* The transportation workers and USEI workers are treated as members of the public because the USEI site, while permitted by the State of Idaho under RCRA to accept certain radioactive materials, is not licensed by the NRC.

External exposure assessments in the SSDA were performed using MicroShield Code, Version 7.02. Evaluations of potential external and internal dose hazards are discussed in the sections that follow while all inputs to the SSDA workbook are provided in Enclosure 4. A summary of total estimated doses for all transporters, as well as USEI workers performing surveying, handling, treatment and disposal tasks on the VY waste is provided in Table 2.

4.1. Transport Dose to the Public All materials will be transported by truck to the USEI facility in Grand View, ID.Wastewater will be transported in tanker trailers with an approximate capacity of 5,000 gallons. All conveyances will be verified to comply with DOT external loose surface contamination limits prior to shipment.

Therefore, transport will not pose the potential for internal dose to the drivers or other members of the public.

The distance from VY to the USEI disposal facility is approximately 2,520 miles. Assuming an average speed of 55 miles per hour, the trip is estimated to take 46.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. A minimum of eight trucks will be used to transport the entire volume of anticipated wastewater over the course of the project to achieve maximum logistical efficiency. Using a minimum of eight trucks, it will take 40 tanker shipments of water to complete the project. Each tanker truck driver is expected to make a minimum of 5 round trips between VY and Grand View, ID over the course of the project. For dose modelling purposes, the tanker driver sits approximately 3.3 meters from the surface of the vessel with approximately 0.51 inches of steel shielding between him and the

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 I Page 4 of 8 contaminated water. The tanker shielding includes the tank construction itself as well as outer steel liners.

Because of the very low average concentrations of radionuclides, external doses to the truck drivers are also very low. As a result, the dose to other members of the general public can reasonably be concluded to be much less. External dose to a tanker truck driver is estimated to be 0.21 mrem/yr.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 6 of 8 4.2. USEI Worker Dose Assessment Upon receipt at the facility, the material will be surveyed and screened prior to transporting the waste to the indoor stabilization facility on the USEI site. Five minutes is required to perform a survey of each tanker truck. Based on current practice, a surveyor is assumed to stand at a distance of one meter from the truck or trailer during the survey, with four surveyors sharing the task. External dose (i.e., total dose) to each surveyor is estimated to be 2.8E-04 mrem. There will be no additional dose to the VY truck drivers from other trucks in the vicinity during the surveying, because the external dose rate from o~ther trucks is negligible.

For the purposes of this assessment, it is conservatively assumed that all waste water from VY will require treatment (via solidification) for incoming water shipments. All water shipments will require solidification with clay soils within the USEI indoor stabilization building before burial in the landfill. After surveying, the waste is delivered to the stabilization building by the transport truck driver. The waste to be treated will be placed into a steel-lined concrete tank where it will be mixed with dry clay. The building is equipped with a negative pressure air handling system so that all air leaving the building is exhausted through High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters. The stabilization process requires approximately 45 minutes, during which time the excavator operator, who is in an enclosed cab and wearing a respirator, is approximately 2.8 meters from the waste. Six operators share the stabilization task. External dose to each stabilization operator is estimated to be 1.76E-03 torero.

Personnel who work in the stabilization building may also be exposed to airborne activity from "dusting." Significantly, all USEI employees who work with any hazardous materials are required to participate in an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliant respiratory protection program. Although this proven form of protection is required, conservatively no credit is taken in the internal dose assessment. Stabilization building workers are also the maximally exposed individuals for inhalation dose, primarily because of the assumed exposure time (45 minutes) and the indoor environment. Internal dose to each stabilization operator is estimated to be 5.3E-07 mrem.

After stabilization, the excavator operator removes the treated waste from the stabilization tank and places it into an on-site haul truck for transport to the disposal cell for burial. After delivery to the disposal cell, a bulldozer operator wearing a respirator within an enclosed cab, spreads and compacts the waste. A minimal external dose is calculated for the two bulldozer operators who share the task of spreading and compacting the stabilized waste material once it has been deposited within the disposal cell.

The average time to spread and compact 50 tons of material (which is the capacity of 2.5 Intermodal Containers) is 15 minutes. This shorter exposure time results in less potential internal dose from airborne radionuclides than was calculated for an excavator operator.

Personnel working in the disposal cells are also required to wear air purifying respirators at all times. Again, no credit is taken for this proven form of protection and. internal dose is estimated to be the bounding dose calculated for a stabilization operator. The estimated total dose to each disposal cell operator is 9.4E-04 mrem.

4.3. Post Closure Dose to the General Public USEI's RCRA permit requires that it demonstrate that no person will receive an annual dose exceeding 15 mrem for 1,000 years after closure of the facility. This standard is more restrictive than the annual 25 mrem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) stated in 10 CFR 20.1402 for NRC license termination, as well as the limits for near surface disposal of low-level radioactive waste set forth in 10 CFR 61. RESRAD code Version 6.5 was used for modeling the Grand View site for potential long-term post-closure doses. A number of default parameters in the Grand View model have been replaced with site specific parameters consistent with the facility's

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 7 of 8 2005 permit modification and a report prepared by its consultant (previously submitted to the NRC as part of an RAI response for the exemption request for the Westinghouse Hematite project, Docket #070-00036).

The SSDA contains a screening RESRAD model to assess the impact of the solidified VY waste on the USEI site. The model is consistent with USEI's post-closure dose model included in the Part B RCRA permit, which assumes that all of the VY waste is distributed evenly within the contaminated zone (area = 88,221 in2 , depth = 33.6 in). 'Screening' in the SSDA means that ALL nuclides are evaluated at their peak dose-to-source ratio regardless of when it occurs. The radionuclide concentrations in Table 1 are automatically adjusted in the SSDA Workbook to reflect aggregation into the entire landfill volume, resulting in a dilution factor of 6.5E-03. All other RESRAD code parameters remain the same. The results of the screening model show a maximum annual dose of 2.02E-02 mnrem. Due to the very low dose projection from the screening model, a separate project-specific dose model was not necessary.

Three post-closure inadvertent intruder scenarios were also conducted using the framework from NUREG-0782, "Draft Environmental Impact Statement on 10 CFR Part 61 Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," and NUREG/CR-4370, Volume 1, "Update of Part 61 Impacts Analysis Methodology" built into the SSDA. These scenarios include:

  • Intruder Construction Scenario - An inadvertent intruder may excavate or construct a building on a disposal site following a breakdown in institutional controls. Under these circumstances, dust will be generated from the application of mechanical forces to the surface materials (soil, rock) through tools and implements (wheels, blades) that pulverize and abrade these materials. The dust particles generated may be then entrained by localized turbulent air currents and can thus become available for inhalation by the intruder. The intruder may also be exposed to direct gamma radiation resulting from airborne particulates and by working directly in the waste-soil mixture. The Construction Worker scenario uses the Air Uptake and Direct Gamma Exposure pathways to estimate a total dose to the intruder.
  • Intruder Well Drillinq Scenario - An intruder accesses the site and develops a well. The intruder is exposed to contaminated drill cuttings spread over the ground surface and contaminated airborne dust. The scenario presented in NUREG/CR- 4370 was modified to exclude consideration of exposure to cuttings in a mud pit due to the standard practices in the area around the waste site. The assumption that drill cuttings are spread over the ground will result in higher dose estimates than if the cuttings were assumed to be in a mud pit because of the decrease in the shielding factor. The driller is assumed to work on site for a period of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> and it is assumed that the contaminated layer is drilled through in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. As such, the driller is assumed to be exposed to the undiluted cuttings for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and to diluted material for the balance of the exposure duration. The dilution is calculated based on the ratio of the depth of the waste layer to the total well depth. No dilution in the USEI landfill is assumed. The Well Driller scenario includes contributions from Internal and External dose to the intruder.
  • Intruder Driller Occupancy Scenario - An inadvertent intruder occupies the site upon which a well had been drilled through waste materials. The Driller Occupancy Scenario uses the same concentrations in the exhumed well cuttings (Cw') as the Well Driller scenario. The Driller Occupancy scenario uses the Air Uptake and Direct Gamma Exposure pathways to estimate a total dose to the intruder.

BVY 16-001 I Enclosure 1 / Page 8 of 8 No credit was taken for dilution of the radionuclide concentrations in any of the intruder calculations. The estimated inadvertent intruder doses are therefore 2.2E-02 mrem for the Construction Scenario, 1.2E-02 mrem for the Well Driller Scenario, and 1.4E-03 mrem for the Driller Occupancy Scenario. All of these values meet the "less than a few mrem per year"for approval of an alternate disposal authorization at an operating site and is well within the 10 CFR 20.1301 dose limit of 100 mrem/yr for individual members of the public from licensed operation.

5. CONCLUSION VY developed this request and related evaluation in consultation with USEI, including health physics personnel responsible for the Grand View disposal facility's waste acceptance and radiological performance assessment programs. This assessment team performed a radiological dose assessment of the material to be shipped and determined that the potential dose to the workers involved in the transportation and placement of the material and to members of the general public after site closure is less than one mrem per year TEDE. This dose is a small fraction of the NRC decommissioning limits for exposure to any member of the public of 25 mrem/yr TEDE, and is well within the "few mrem per yea?' criterion that the NRC has established in RIS 2004-08.

SUBJECT:

US ECOLOGY, INC. - TECHNICAL EVALUATION REPORT OF US ECOLOGY IDAHO'S PROPOSED METHODOLOGY SUPPORTING ALTERNATE WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH 10 CFR 20.2002 By letter dated June 14, 2013, US Ecology, Inc. (USEI) requested an exemption to receive and dispose of low-activity radioactive waste from Studsvik's Processing Facility in Memphis, TN at USEI, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle-C hazardous and low-activity waste facility near Grand View, ID. USEI also requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review a newly developed Site-Specific Dose Assessment Methodology (SSDA). In a letter dated March 10, 2014, USEI withdrew the request to dispose of low-activity waste from Studsvik Processing Facility; however, USEI requested that the NRC continue to review the SSDA. USEI stated that this process provides a streamlined methodology for preparing and reviewing future 10 CER 20.2002 alternate disposal requests (ADR) from USEI.

This Technical Evaluation Report (TER) documents the NRC staff's technical review of the proposed methodology. Similar to a review of a 10 CFR 20.2002 exemption request, the NRC staff performed a technical review of the methodology and associated documents and evaluated the technical basis and assumptions incorporated into the calculations used by USEI. The NRC staff also used the methodology to evaluate a previously evaluated exemption request and compared the conclusions. Based on this review, the NRC staff considers the use of USEI's SSDA to be an appropriate method for evaluating future proposed disposals. The SSDA methodology can be used to satisfy the criteria in § 20.2002 (d); however, individual 20.2002 requests by US El, or other licensees wishing to ship to USEI, must address the criteria in

§ 20.2002 (a), (b), or (c) separately.

In response to your initial request, the SSDA, the technical basis document, and the NRC's detailed TER are considered proprietary and will not be available for public review. However, a second, publicly-available TER was also developed to demonstrate how this process will satisfy the NRC's mission of protecting public health, safety, and the environment. The NRC would note that specific parameter values, in the necessary form, that have not always been included with historical submittals may need to be included in future submittals in order for the SSDA methodology to be used.

Enclosure 3 USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD073114654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 Part C.3 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (6 Pages)

USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD0731 14654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 C.3 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA C.3.1 Pre-acceptance Review The pre-acceptance protocol has been designed to ensure that only hazardous and radioactive material that can be properly and safely stored, treated and/or disposed of by USEI are approved for receipt at the facility. A two-step approach is taken by USEI. The first step is the chemical and/or radiological and physical characterization of the candidate waste stream by the generator.

The second step is the pre-acceptance evaluation performed by USEI to determine the acceptability of the waste for receipt at the facility. Figure 0-2 presents a logic diagram of the pre-acceptance protocol that is utilized at the facility.

C.3.,2 Radioactive Material Waste Acceptance Criteria The following waste acceptance criteria are established for accepting radiological contaminated waste material that is not regulated under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 ("AEA"), as amended.

This may be accomplished by the following regulatory mechanisms: use of ageneral or specific exemption from regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or an Agreement State; a Release from Radiological Control declaration by the Department of Energy (DOE); or a determination that 91(b) radioactive material is no longer regulated by the Department of Defense (DoD). Material may also be accepted ifit is not regulated or licensed by the NRC or Agreement State or has been authorized for disposal by the IDEQ and is within the numeric waste acceptance criteria. Waste acceptance criteria are consistent with these restrictions.

The following five tables establish types and concentrations of radioactive materials that may be accepted. These tables are based on categories and types of radioactive material not regulated by the NRC, an Agreement State, the DOE, or the DoD for alternate disposal. The criteria are consistent with these restrictions and detailed analyses set forth in Waste Acceptance Criteria and Justification for FUSRAP Material, prepared by Radiation Safety Associates, Inc. (RSA) as subsequently refined, expanded and updated in Waste Acceptance Criteriaand Justification for Radioactive Material, prepared by USEI.

Material may be accepted ifthe material has been specifically exempted from regulation by rule, order, license, license condition, letter of interpretation, or specific authorization under the following conditions: Thirty (30) days prior to intended shipment of such materials to the facility, USEI shall notify IDEQ of its intent to accept such material and submit information describing the material's physical, radiological, and/or chemical properties, impact on the facility radioactive materials performance assessment, and the basis for determining that the material does not require disposal at a facility licensed under the AEA. The IDEQ will have 30 days from receipt of this notification to reject USEI's determination or require further information and review. No response by IDEQ within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice shall constitute concurrence. IDEQ concurrence is not required for generally exempted material as set forth in Table C.4a.

Based on categories of waste described in the waste acceptance criteria, the concentration of the various radionuclides in the conveyance (e.g., rail car gondola, other container etc.) shall not exceed the concentration limits established in the WAC without the specific written approval of the IDEQ unless generally exempted as set forth in Table C.4a. Radiological surveys will be 4

Chapter C

USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD073114654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 performed as outlined in ERMP-01 to verify compliance with the WAC. If individual "pockets" of activity are detected indicating the limits may be exceeded, the RSO or RPS shall investigate the discrepancy and estimate the extent or volume of the material with the potentially elevated radiation levels. The RPS or RSO shall then make a determination on the compliance of the entire conveyance load with the appropriate WAC limits. If the conveyance is determined not to meet the limits, USEI will notify IDEQ's RCRA Program Manager within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a concentration based exceedance of the facility WAC to evaluate and discuss management options. The findings and resolution actions shall then be documented and submitted to the IDEQ.

The radioactive material waste acceptance criteria, when used in conjunction with an effective radiation monitoring and protection program as defined in the USEI Radioactive MaterialHealth and Safety Plan and Exempt Radioactive Materials Procedures provides adequate protection of human health and the environment. Included within this manual are requirements for USEI to submit a written summary report of all radioactive material waste receipts showing volumes and radionuclide concentrations and total activities disposed at the USEI site on a quarterly basis.

The 4rn quarter report of each year will also include an updated analysis of the cumulative impact on the facility performance assessment based upon the previous year's waste receipt.

These criteria and procedures are designed to assure that the highest potential dose to a worker handling radioactive material at USEI shall not exceed 400 mrem/year TEDE dose, and that no member of the public is calculated to receive a potential post closure dose exceeding 15 mrem/year TEDE dose, from the USEI program. TEDE is defined as the "Total Effective Dose Equivalent", which equals the sum of external and internal exposures. The public dose limit during operation activities is limited to 100 mrem/yr TEDE dose. An annual summary report of environmental monitoring results will be submitted to IDEQ by June 1 St for the preceding year.

Materials that have a radioactive component that meets the criteria described in Tables 0.1 through C.4c and are RCRA regulated material will be managed as described within this WAP for the RCRA regulated constituents.

Vernon, VT 05354 802-257-7711 Christopher J. Wamser Site Vice President BVY 16-001 10 CFR 20.2002 January 14, 2016 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001

SUBJECT:

10 CFR 20.2002 Request for Alternate Waste Disposal at US Ecology Idaho Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-271 License No. DPR-28

Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests NRC approval of alternate waste disposal at the US Ecology, Inc (USEI) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle C hazardous waste disposal facility located near Grand View, Idaho. The waste will consist of approximately 200,000 gallons of low-activity radioactive waste containing byproduct material from activities associated with preparing for long term dormancy as part of the decommissioning process at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). This request is made under the alternate disposal provision contained in 10 CFR 20.2002.

ENO is collaborating with USEI on this request. Since the USEI facility is not an NRC-licensed disposal facility, USEI will submit under separate letter a request for an exemption pursuant to 10 CFR 30.11 to allow for the disposal of the byproduct material at the USEI facility.

Enclosure 1 to this letter provides a conservative radiological assessment of the planned disposal and a description of the waste material. The description includes the physical and chemical properties important to risk evaluation, along with the proposed manner and conditions of waste disposal.

ENO's request is similar to a request by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 in a letter dated May 2, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12135A295), as supplemented by email dated July 16, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12241A273). The NRC approved that request in a letter dated December 19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. MLI12244A084). The difference is that this request involves only contaminated liquids.

ENO requests review and approval of this request by April 15, 2016.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 1 of 8 VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION EVALUATION IN SUPPORT OF 10 CFR 20.2002 REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE WASTE DISPOSAL DOCKET NO. 50-271 1, INTRODUCTION Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) requests NRC authorization for alternate disposal of certain low-activity waste containing byproduct material from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY) at the US Ecology, Inc (USEI) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RORA),

Subtitle C hazardous waste disposal facility located near Grand View, Idaho. ENO is collaborating with USEI on this request. USEI will submit a request for exemption to 10 CFR 30.11 to allow for disposal of byproduct material at the USEI facility under a separate letter. The authority of 10 CFR 20.2002 and the exemptions requested from 10 CER 30.11 licensing requirements for byproduct material would allow ENO to transfer these wastes to the USEI facility for disposal.

The dose evaluation for this request for alternate disposal was performed using US Ecology's NRC-Approved Site Specific Dose Assessment Methodology (SSDA) for USEI. The SSDA provides a consolidated dose assessment framework for all occupational, transportation, and post-closure dose receptors required in 10 CFR 20.2002(d) - "Analyses and procedures to ensure that doses are maintainedALARPA and within the dose limits in this part." The information provided in this document as well as the Safety Evaluation Report and Environmental Assessment produced by the NRC serve to satisfy the requirements in

§20.2002(a), (b), and (c). The NRC approved the SSDA for use on August 24, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15125A364, provided as Enclosure 2).

Characteristics and operating parameters of the USE! disposal site are summarized in Section 2 of this Enclosure. Environmental conditions at the USEI site are well-documented in previous submittals to the NRC, including the Hematite Decommissioning Project (Docket #07000036) and the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning Project (Docket #50-133).

A description of the material to be disposed is included in Section 3. The material description includes physical and chemical properties of the material important to risk evaluation and the proposed conditions of waste disposal. Results of the SSDA dose evaluation are summarized in Section 4 for all occupational and transportation workers as well as postulated members of the public based on USEI's ResRad model (Ver. 6.5) and Inadvertent Intruder Scenarios described in NUREG-0782, "Draft Environmental Impact Statement on 10 CFR Part 61 Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," and NUREG/CR-4370, "Update of Part 61 Impacts Analysis Methodology - Methodology Report." Enclosure 3 contains the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) set forth in USEI's permit issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The SSDA Data Input Screen with all of the project inputs for the VY Wastewater project is provided in Enclosure 4. The conclusion confirms doses to workers and members of the public will be well below NRC limits.

USE! has previously received approval to receive wastewater containing fission and activation products from the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plan Unit 3 decommissioning project. A 10 CFR 30.11 exemption from licensing requirements was granted to USE! by the NRC on December 19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12299A056).

2. DISPOSAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS The USEI site is located in the Owyhee Desert of southwestern Idaho. It is at the end of Lemley Road, approximately 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) northwest of Grand View, (Owyhee County)

Idaho. Grand View has a population of approximately 340. Owyhee County is a ranching and

BVY 16-001 I Enclosure 11/Page 2 of 8 agricultural area of approximately 19,900 square kilometers (7,678 square miles). The county is sparsely populated, with an average population of 0.5 people per square kilometer (1.4 people per square mile per Reference 1).

This region has an arid climate with an average annual precipitation rate of 7.4 inches. The USEI site is located on a 1.6 kilometer (1 mile) wide plateau. Maximum surface relief on the facility is 27 meters (90 feet) and the mean surface elevation is 790 meters (2,600 feet) above sea level. The nearest residence is 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) southwest of the site. There are no other land uses in the immediate vicinity of the site.

The operational performance characteristics of the USEI site have been reviewed by the NRC and determined to be protective within the NRC's "less than a few millirem (mrem) per yea?'

policy for Alternate Disposal Requests first stated in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2004-08, "Results of the License Termination Rule Analysis," and reaffirmed in SECY-07-0060, "Basis for Justification and Approval Process for 10 CFR 20.2002 Authorizations and Options for Change." The NRC has granted USEI several 10 CFR 30.11 byproduct material exemptions for purposes of disposal of various licensee waste streams. Two key documents are referenced from previous NRC submittals:

  • Hazardous Waste Facility Siting License Application for Cell 16 (American Geotechnics, dated June 30, 2006); This document describes USEI's environmental setting and was accepted by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) as part of the 2005 siting process, which resulted in IDEQ approval (December 6, 2006) of USEI's request to expand its landfill operations. (ADAMS Accession No. ML100320540 - Attachment 7)
  • Summary of Hydrogeologic Conditions and Groundwater Flow Model for US Ecology Idaho Facility, Grand View, Idaho (Eagle Resources, dated January 13, 2010. This document provides a detailed description of USEI's site geology and hydrogeology.

(ADAMS Accession No. ML101170554 - Exhibit B)

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE WASTE The subject waste consists of approximately 200,000 gallons (~26,700 ft3) of water associated with decommissioning of VY and preparing the facility for long-term dormancy. Since the cessation of plant operations, plant process water has been drained from systems creating a surplus of water needed for make-up to the spent fuel pool. The water to be disposed of is currently stored in the former VY suppression chamber (Torus). The Torus has a capacity of 1.1 million gallons and currently is filled to approximately 96% of capacity. The water in the Torus is continuously circulated and filtered/demineralized to minimize suspended solids. For disposal, the water will be pumped from the Torus through the former High Pressure Coolant Injection suction strainers, which are located inside the Torus at an elevation that minimizes entrainment of sediment.

The wastewater being considered under this request will include fission and activation products resulting from VY operations. The waste concentrations are expected to be low. Water is assumed to have a density of 1.0 g/cc. Radiological characterization of the waste stream was performed through routine sampling and analysis of project waste materials as part of VY's 10 CFR 61 characterization program. The sample was drawn from the same location that will be used to pump the water for disposal.

A summary of the radionuclides and their concentrations are listed in Table 1 below. Full results of the Part 61 analytical results of the waste sample are provided in Enclosure 5.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 3 of 8 Table 1. Radionuclides Potentially Present in VY Waste Water Concentration Nuclide (pCi/ml)

Co-60 0.78 Cs-i137 0.33 H-3 1,870 Mn-54 0.04 Zn-65 0.24 The wastewater will be solidified with clay at USEI and disposed as a soil-like waste"upon receipt, The liquid solidification process at USEI is routinely used for applicable shipments. All wastes are conservatively assumed to be transported in a single year. To account for the solidification process at USEI, a total waste volume of 80,000 ft3 was entered into the SSDA workbook to account for the 'bulking' that will occur from the clay used to solidify the water. For conservatism, the wastewater concentrations were kept at the original characterized concentrations provided by VY and not diluted by the clay.

All shipments will have radioactivity concentrations well within the levels allowed in the site WAC set forth in USEI's permit issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (provided in Enclosure 3). The actual concentrations in the water shipments at the time of disposal will be reduced through the solidification process. These concentrations are also below levels requiring the waste to be classified as "radioactive material" for shipment purposes under U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.

4. RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT As described~in the following exposure scenarios, the dose equivalent for the Maximally Exposed Individual (MEl) has been demonstrated to not exceed "a few mrem per year." The standard of a "few mrem per year'to a member of the public is set forth in NRC RIS 2004-08, "Results of the License Termination Rule Analysis."* The transportation workers and USEI workers are treated as members of the public because the USEI site, while permitted by the State of Idaho under RCRA to accept certain radioactive materials, is not licensed by the NRC.

External exposure assessments in the SSDA were performed using MicroShield Code, Version 7.02. Evaluations of potential external and internal dose hazards are discussed in the sections that follow while all inputs to the SSDA workbook are provided in Enclosure 4. A summary of total estimated doses for all transporters, as well as USEI workers performing surveying, handling, treatment and disposal tasks on the VY waste is provided in Table 2.

4.1. Transport Dose to the Public All materials will be transported by truck to the USEI facility in Grand View, ID.Wastewater will be transported in tanker trailers with an approximate capacity of 5,000 gallons. All conveyances will be verified to comply with DOT external loose surface contamination limits prior to shipment.

Therefore, transport will not pose the potential for internal dose to the drivers or other members of the public.

The distance from VY to the USEI disposal facility is approximately 2,520 miles. Assuming an average speed of 55 miles per hour, the trip is estimated to take 46.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. A minimum of eight trucks will be used to transport the entire volume of anticipated wastewater over the course of the project to achieve maximum logistical efficiency. Using a minimum of eight trucks, it will take 40 tanker shipments of water to complete the project. Each tanker truck driver is expected to make a minimum of 5 round trips between VY and Grand View, ID over the course of the project. For dose modelling purposes, the tanker driver sits approximately 3.3 meters from the surface of the vessel with approximately 0.51 inches of steel shielding between him and the

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 I Page 4 of 8 contaminated water. The tanker shielding includes the tank construction itself as well as outer steel liners.

Because of the very low average concentrations of radionuclides, external doses to the truck drivers are also very low. As a result, the dose to other members of the general public can reasonably be concluded to be much less. External dose to a tanker truck driver is estimated to be 0.21 mrem/yr.

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 6 of 8 4.2. USEI Worker Dose Assessment Upon receipt at the facility, the material will be surveyed and screened prior to transporting the waste to the indoor stabilization facility on the USEI site. Five minutes is required to perform a survey of each tanker truck. Based on current practice, a surveyor is assumed to stand at a distance of one meter from the truck or trailer during the survey, with four surveyors sharing the task. External dose (i.e., total dose) to each surveyor is estimated to be 2.8E-04 mrem. There will be no additional dose to the VY truck drivers from other trucks in the vicinity during the surveying, because the external dose rate from o~ther trucks is negligible.

For the purposes of this assessment, it is conservatively assumed that all waste water from VY will require treatment (via solidification) for incoming water shipments. All water shipments will require solidification with clay soils within the USEI indoor stabilization building before burial in the landfill. After surveying, the waste is delivered to the stabilization building by the transport truck driver. The waste to be treated will be placed into a steel-lined concrete tank where it will be mixed with dry clay. The building is equipped with a negative pressure air handling system so that all air leaving the building is exhausted through High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters. The stabilization process requires approximately 45 minutes, during which time the excavator operator, who is in an enclosed cab and wearing a respirator, is approximately 2.8 meters from the waste. Six operators share the stabilization task. External dose to each stabilization operator is estimated to be 1.76E-03 torero.

Personnel who work in the stabilization building may also be exposed to airborne activity from "dusting." Significantly, all USEI employees who work with any hazardous materials are required to participate in an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliant respiratory protection program. Although this proven form of protection is required, conservatively no credit is taken in the internal dose assessment. Stabilization building workers are also the maximally exposed individuals for inhalation dose, primarily because of the assumed exposure time (45 minutes) and the indoor environment. Internal dose to each stabilization operator is estimated to be 5.3E-07 mrem.

After stabilization, the excavator operator removes the treated waste from the stabilization tank and places it into an on-site haul truck for transport to the disposal cell for burial. After delivery to the disposal cell, a bulldozer operator wearing a respirator within an enclosed cab, spreads and compacts the waste. A minimal external dose is calculated for the two bulldozer operators who share the task of spreading and compacting the stabilized waste material once it has been deposited within the disposal cell.

The average time to spread and compact 50 tons of material (which is the capacity of 2.5 Intermodal Containers) is 15 minutes. This shorter exposure time results in less potential internal dose from airborne radionuclides than was calculated for an excavator operator.

Personnel working in the disposal cells are also required to wear air purifying respirators at all times. Again, no credit is taken for this proven form of protection and. internal dose is estimated to be the bounding dose calculated for a stabilization operator. The estimated total dose to each disposal cell operator is 9.4E-04 mrem.

4.3. Post Closure Dose to the General Public USEI's RCRA permit requires that it demonstrate that no person will receive an annual dose exceeding 15 mrem for 1,000 years after closure of the facility. This standard is more restrictive than the annual 25 mrem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) stated in 10 CFR 20.1402 for NRC license termination, as well as the limits for near surface disposal of low-level radioactive waste set forth in 10 CFR 61. RESRAD code Version 6.5 was used for modeling the Grand View site for potential long-term post-closure doses. A number of default parameters in the Grand View model have been replaced with site specific parameters consistent with the facility's

BVY 16-001 / Enclosure 1 /Page 7 of 8 2005 permit modification and a report prepared by its consultant (previously submitted to the NRC as part of an RAI response for the exemption request for the Westinghouse Hematite project, Docket #070-00036).

The SSDA contains a screening RESRAD model to assess the impact of the solidified VY waste on the USEI site. The model is consistent with USEI's post-closure dose model included in the Part B RCRA permit, which assumes that all of the VY waste is distributed evenly within the contaminated zone (area = 88,221 in2 , depth = 33.6 in). 'Screening' in the SSDA means that ALL nuclides are evaluated at their peak dose-to-source ratio regardless of when it occurs. The radionuclide concentrations in Table 1 are automatically adjusted in the SSDA Workbook to reflect aggregation into the entire landfill volume, resulting in a dilution factor of 6.5E-03. All other RESRAD code parameters remain the same. The results of the screening model show a maximum annual dose of 2.02E-02 mnrem. Due to the very low dose projection from the screening model, a separate project-specific dose model was not necessary.

Three post-closure inadvertent intruder scenarios were also conducted using the framework from NUREG-0782, "Draft Environmental Impact Statement on 10 CFR Part 61 Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," and NUREG/CR-4370, Volume 1, "Update of Part 61 Impacts Analysis Methodology" built into the SSDA. These scenarios include:

  • Intruder Construction Scenario - An inadvertent intruder may excavate or construct a building on a disposal site following a breakdown in institutional controls. Under these circumstances, dust will be generated from the application of mechanical forces to the surface materials (soil, rock) through tools and implements (wheels, blades) that pulverize and abrade these materials. The dust particles generated may be then entrained by localized turbulent air currents and can thus become available for inhalation by the intruder. The intruder may also be exposed to direct gamma radiation resulting from airborne particulates and by working directly in the waste-soil mixture. The Construction Worker scenario uses the Air Uptake and Direct Gamma Exposure pathways to estimate a total dose to the intruder.
  • Intruder Well Drillinq Scenario - An intruder accesses the site and develops a well. The intruder is exposed to contaminated drill cuttings spread over the ground surface and contaminated airborne dust. The scenario presented in NUREG/CR- 4370 was modified to exclude consideration of exposure to cuttings in a mud pit due to the standard practices in the area around the waste site. The assumption that drill cuttings are spread over the ground will result in higher dose estimates than if the cuttings were assumed to be in a mud pit because of the decrease in the shielding factor. The driller is assumed to work on site for a period of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> and it is assumed that the contaminated layer is drilled through in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. As such, the driller is assumed to be exposed to the undiluted cuttings for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and to diluted material for the balance of the exposure duration. The dilution is calculated based on the ratio of the depth of the waste layer to the total well depth. No dilution in the USEI landfill is assumed. The Well Driller scenario includes contributions from Internal and External dose to the intruder.
  • Intruder Driller Occupancy Scenario - An inadvertent intruder occupies the site upon which a well had been drilled through waste materials. The Driller Occupancy Scenario uses the same concentrations in the exhumed well cuttings (Cw') as the Well Driller scenario. The Driller Occupancy scenario uses the Air Uptake and Direct Gamma Exposure pathways to estimate a total dose to the intruder.

BVY 16-001 I Enclosure 1 / Page 8 of 8 No credit was taken for dilution of the radionuclide concentrations in any of the intruder calculations. The estimated inadvertent intruder doses are therefore 2.2E-02 mrem for the Construction Scenario, 1.2E-02 mrem for the Well Driller Scenario, and 1.4E-03 mrem for the Driller Occupancy Scenario. All of these values meet the "less than a few mrem per year"for approval of an alternate disposal authorization at an operating site and is well within the 10 CFR 20.1301 dose limit of 100 mrem/yr for individual members of the public from licensed operation.

5. CONCLUSION VY developed this request and related evaluation in consultation with USEI, including health physics personnel responsible for the Grand View disposal facility's waste acceptance and radiological performance assessment programs. This assessment team performed a radiological dose assessment of the material to be shipped and determined that the potential dose to the workers involved in the transportation and placement of the material and to members of the general public after site closure is less than one mrem per year TEDE. This dose is a small fraction of the NRC decommissioning limits for exposure to any member of the public of 25 mrem/yr TEDE, and is well within the "few mrem per yea?' criterion that the NRC has established in RIS 2004-08.

SUBJECT:

US ECOLOGY, INC. - TECHNICAL EVALUATION REPORT OF US ECOLOGY IDAHO'S PROPOSED METHODOLOGY SUPPORTING ALTERNATE WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH 10 CFR 20.2002 By letter dated June 14, 2013, US Ecology, Inc. (USEI) requested an exemption to receive and dispose of low-activity radioactive waste from Studsvik's Processing Facility in Memphis, TN at USEI, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle-C hazardous and low-activity waste facility near Grand View, ID. USEI also requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review a newly developed Site-Specific Dose Assessment Methodology (SSDA). In a letter dated March 10, 2014, USEI withdrew the request to dispose of low-activity waste from Studsvik Processing Facility; however, USEI requested that the NRC continue to review the SSDA. USEI stated that this process provides a streamlined methodology for preparing and reviewing future 10 CER 20.2002 alternate disposal requests (ADR) from USEI.

This Technical Evaluation Report (TER) documents the NRC staff's technical review of the proposed methodology. Similar to a review of a 10 CFR 20.2002 exemption request, the NRC staff performed a technical review of the methodology and associated documents and evaluated the technical basis and assumptions incorporated into the calculations used by USEI. The NRC staff also used the methodology to evaluate a previously evaluated exemption request and compared the conclusions. Based on this review, the NRC staff considers the use of USEI's SSDA to be an appropriate method for evaluating future proposed disposals. The SSDA methodology can be used to satisfy the criteria in § 20.2002 (d); however, individual 20.2002 requests by US El, or other licensees wishing to ship to USEI, must address the criteria in

§ 20.2002 (a), (b), or (c) separately.

In response to your initial request, the SSDA, the technical basis document, and the NRC's detailed TER are considered proprietary and will not be available for public review. However, a second, publicly-available TER was also developed to demonstrate how this process will satisfy the NRC's mission of protecting public health, safety, and the environment. The NRC would note that specific parameter values, in the necessary form, that have not always been included with historical submittals may need to be included in future submittals in order for the SSDA methodology to be used.

Enclosure 3 USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD073114654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 Part C.3 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (6 Pages)

USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD0731 14654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 C.3 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA C.3.1 Pre-acceptance Review The pre-acceptance protocol has been designed to ensure that only hazardous and radioactive material that can be properly and safely stored, treated and/or disposed of by USEI are approved for receipt at the facility. A two-step approach is taken by USEI. The first step is the chemical and/or radiological and physical characterization of the candidate waste stream by the generator.

The second step is the pre-acceptance evaluation performed by USEI to determine the acceptability of the waste for receipt at the facility. Figure 0-2 presents a logic diagram of the pre-acceptance protocol that is utilized at the facility.

C.3.,2 Radioactive Material Waste Acceptance Criteria The following waste acceptance criteria are established for accepting radiological contaminated waste material that is not regulated under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 ("AEA"), as amended.

This may be accomplished by the following regulatory mechanisms: use of ageneral or specific exemption from regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or an Agreement State; a Release from Radiological Control declaration by the Department of Energy (DOE); or a determination that 91(b) radioactive material is no longer regulated by the Department of Defense (DoD). Material may also be accepted ifit is not regulated or licensed by the NRC or Agreement State or has been authorized for disposal by the IDEQ and is within the numeric waste acceptance criteria. Waste acceptance criteria are consistent with these restrictions.

The following five tables establish types and concentrations of radioactive materials that may be accepted. These tables are based on categories and types of radioactive material not regulated by the NRC, an Agreement State, the DOE, or the DoD for alternate disposal. The criteria are consistent with these restrictions and detailed analyses set forth in Waste Acceptance Criteria and Justification for FUSRAP Material, prepared by Radiation Safety Associates, Inc. (RSA) as subsequently refined, expanded and updated in Waste Acceptance Criteriaand Justification for Radioactive Material, prepared by USEI.

Material may be accepted ifthe material has been specifically exempted from regulation by rule, order, license, license condition, letter of interpretation, or specific authorization under the following conditions: Thirty (30) days prior to intended shipment of such materials to the facility, USEI shall notify IDEQ of its intent to accept such material and submit information describing the material's physical, radiological, and/or chemical properties, impact on the facility radioactive materials performance assessment, and the basis for determining that the material does not require disposal at a facility licensed under the AEA. The IDEQ will have 30 days from receipt of this notification to reject USEI's determination or require further information and review. No response by IDEQ within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice shall constitute concurrence. IDEQ concurrence is not required for generally exempted material as set forth in Table C.4a.

Based on categories of waste described in the waste acceptance criteria, the concentration of the various radionuclides in the conveyance (e.g., rail car gondola, other container etc.) shall not exceed the concentration limits established in the WAC without the specific written approval of the IDEQ unless generally exempted as set forth in Table C.4a. Radiological surveys will be 4

Chapter C

USEI Part B Permit EPA ID. No.: IDD073114654 Revision Date: March 12, 2015 performed as outlined in ERMP-01 to verify compliance with the WAC. If individual "pockets" of activity are detected indicating the limits may be exceeded, the RSO or RPS shall investigate the discrepancy and estimate the extent or volume of the material with the potentially elevated radiation levels. The RPS or RSO shall then make a determination on the compliance of the entire conveyance load with the appropriate WAC limits. If the conveyance is determined not to meet the limits, USEI will notify IDEQ's RCRA Program Manager within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a concentration based exceedance of the facility WAC to evaluate and discuss management options. The findings and resolution actions shall then be documented and submitted to the IDEQ.

The radioactive material waste acceptance criteria, when used in conjunction with an effective radiation monitoring and protection program as defined in the USEI Radioactive MaterialHealth and Safety Plan and Exempt Radioactive Materials Procedures provides adequate protection of human health and the environment. Included within this manual are requirements for USEI to submit a written summary report of all radioactive material waste receipts showing volumes and radionuclide concentrations and total activities disposed at the USEI site on a quarterly basis.

The 4rn quarter report of each year will also include an updated analysis of the cumulative impact on the facility performance assessment based upon the previous year's waste receipt.

These criteria and procedures are designed to assure that the highest potential dose to a worker handling radioactive material at USEI shall not exceed 400 mrem/year TEDE dose, and that no member of the public is calculated to receive a potential post closure dose exceeding 15 mrem/year TEDE dose, from the USEI program. TEDE is defined as the "Total Effective Dose Equivalent", which equals the sum of external and internal exposures. The public dose limit during operation activities is limited to 100 mrem/yr TEDE dose. An annual summary report of environmental monitoring results will be submitted to IDEQ by June 1 St for the preceding year.

Materials that have a radioactive component that meets the criteria described in Tables 0.1 through C.4c and are RCRA regulated material will be managed as described within this WAP for the RCRA regulated constituents.

X Consult Case Narrative, Data Summary package, or Project Manager concerning this qualifier Y Other specific qualifiers were required to properly define the results. Consult case narrative.

A RPD of sample and duplicate evaluated using +/-RL. Concentrations are <5X the RL. Qualifier Not Applicable for Radiochemistry.

h Preparation or preservation holding time was exceeded N/A indicates that spike recovery limits do not apply when sample concentration exceeds spike cone, by a factor of 4 or more or %RPD not applicable.

A The Relative Percent Difference (RPD) obtained from the sample duplicate (DUP) is evaluated against the acceptance criteria when the sample is greater than five times (5X) the contract required detection limit (RL). In cases where either the sample or duplicate value is less than 5X the RL, a control limit of +/-the RI is used to evaluate the DUJP result.

  • Indicates that a Quality Control parameter was not within specifications.

For PS, PSD, and SDILT results, the values listed are the measured amounts, not final concentrations.

Where the analytical method has been performed under NELAP certification, the analysis has met all of the requirements of the NELAC standard unless qualified on the QC Summary.
