NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 May 12, 1988 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 88-?2: DISPOSAL OF SLUDGE FROM ONSITE
SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES AT
NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
This information notice is being provided to alert licensees to two recent
events indicating that not all licensees are fully aware of the potential
for contamination of sewage sludge and the relevant regulatory requirements.
It is expected that recipients will review the information for applicability
to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar
problems. However, suggestions contained in this information notice do not
constitute NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response
Is required.
Related Documents:
IE Bulletin 80-10 (Reference 1) requested that licensees review the design
and operation of their facilities to identify systems that are considered non- radioactive (or described as non-radioactive in the facility's Final Safety
Analysis Report (FSAR)) but that could become radioactive through interfaces
with radioactive systems and result in unmonitored, uncontrolled releases In
liquid and gaseous effluents. This bulletin stated that special consideration
was to be given to particular systems, including the sanitary waste system;
however, sludge from the sanitary waste system was not discussed specifically.
IE Information Notice No. 83-05 (Reference 2) called attention to the provi- sions of 10 CFR 20.302, "Method For Obtaining Approval Of Proposed Disposal
Procedures," as a means for obtaining approval for disposal of, among other
things, large volumes of material radioactively contaminated at very low
levels. IE Information Notice No. 86-90 (Reference 3) informed licensees
that, in Agreement States, applications to obtain approvals for such disposals
should be sent to the Agreement State and not to the NRC.
8805060148
IN 88-22 May 12, 198R IE Information Notice No. 85-92 (Reference 4) emphasized the need for careful
surveys of materials that may be contaminated and that are to be disposed of
as "clean" waste; i.e., as waste that does not contain licensed radioactive
material.
Description of Circumstances
During an inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, it was found that
the licensee had made onsite disposals of slightly contaminated sludge removed
from aeration ponds and the aerobic digester in the onsite sanitary sewage
treatment facility. The sludge was spread on licensee-owned land and mixed
into the soil by plowing. Radionuclides identified by the licensee in the
sludge included chromium-51, manganese-54, cobalt-58, cobalt-60, cesium-134, and cesium-137. The total activity for six onsite disposals was 300 micro- curies. Licensee representatives indicated their belief that these disposals
were in compliance with regulatory requirements because (1) they met the re- quirements of 10 CFR 20.303, "Disposal By Release Into Sanitary Sewerage
Systems," for disposal into a sanitary sewerage system and (2) their subsequent
disposition of sludge was consistent with measures that would be taken by any
operator of a sanitary sewerage system. The licensee was informed that these
disposals were contrary to 10 CFR 20.301, "General Requirements (Waste Disposal),"
and that 10 CFR 20.303 does not apply to contaminated sludge removed from onsite
sewage treatment facilities. 10 CFR 20.303 only allows a licensee to discharge
radioactive material Into a sanitary sewerage system under limited conditions.
It does not cover removal and land disposal of contaminated sludge from the
licensee's sanitary sewage treatment facilities. Considering the very low
level of radioactive contamination of the sludge and the licensee's estimate
that these disposals would result in very low annual doses, the licensee ap- plied for, and obtained, approval of future disposals of this type pursuant
to 10 CFR 20.302.
Subsequently, during an inspection at the Surry Nuclear Power Station, it was
found that the licensee had disposed of dried sludge from the onsite sewage
treatment facility at the county sanitary landfill without determining If the
sludge was contaminated with licensed material. Licensed radioactive material
was found in sludge that had not yet been disposed of. The licensee was informed
that failure to determine, before disposal, if the sludge was contaminated was
contrary to 10 CFR 20.201, "Surveys," and that disposal of contaminated sludge
by this means would be contrary to 10 CFR 20.301.
Before receiving the application from Point Beach, the NRC had received only
one application pursuant to 10 CFR 20.302 for disposal of radioactively contam- inated sewage sludge from a sanitary sewage treatment facility at a nuclear
power station. This was a request from the Duke Power Company for disposal of
contaminated sludge at its Oconee Nuclear Station. In this case, the requested
method of disposal was by transfer to a contracted vendor for transport to a
publicly owned treatment works. The NRC found the request acceptable; however, because Oconee is in an Agreement State, South Carolina, it was necessary for
the licensee to obtain approval of the State for this disposal of byproduct
material.
IN 88-22 May 12, 1988 Discussion:
Licensees may wish to consider the following:..
1. Sludge from onsite sewage treatment plants may be contaminated with
licensed radioactive material which has been concentrated-by the
treatment system.
2. The provisions of 10 CFR 20.303 do not apply to the disposal of contami- nated sludge removed from sanitary sewerage systems at nuclear power
stations.
3. 10 CFR 20.201 covers surveys required before disposing of sewage treatment
sludge, to determine if the sludge is contaminated.. Gamma-ray spectrometry
can be performed on representative samples of the sludge under conditions
that provide a lower limit of detection (LLD) appropriate to measurements
of environmental samples. Such measurements make it possible to distinguish
licensed material from other radioactive materials (natural radioactive
materials and world-wide fallout) that may be present in the sludge.
4. 10 CFR 20.301 covers the disposal of sewage sludge from a licensee's sewage
treatment facility when contaminated with licensed radioactive material.
5. Licensees may apply in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 20.302 to
dispose of sewage sludge containing very low levels of licensed radio- active material in a manner not otherwise authorized in the regulations.
Applications for approval of such disposal may be made to the NRC or
Agreement State, as appropriate.
No specific action or written response is required by this information notice.

IN 88-22 May 12, 1988 Discussion:
Licensees may wish to consider the following:
1. Sludge from onsite sewage treatment plants may be contaminated with
licensed radioactive material which has been concentrated by the
treatment system.
2. The provisions of 10 CFR 20.303 do not apply to the disposal of contami- nated sludge removed from sanitary sewerage systems at nuclear power
stations.
3. 10 CFR 20.201 covers surveys required before disposing of sewage treatment
sludge, to determine if the sludge is contaminated. Gamma-ray spectrometry
can be performed on representative samples of the sludge under conditions
that provide a lower limit of detection (LLD) appropriate to measurements
of environmental samples. Such measurements make It possible to distinguish
licensed material from other radioactive materials (natural radioactive
materials and world-wide fallout) that may be present in the sludge.
4. 10 CFR 20.301 covers the disposal of sewage sludge from a licensee's sewage
treatment facility when contaminated with licensed radioactive material.
5. Licensees may apply in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 20.302 to
dispose of sewage sludge containing very low levels of licensed radio- active material in a manner not otherwise authorized in the regulations.
Applications for approval of such disposal may be made to the NRC or
Agreement State, as appropriate.
No specific action or written response Is required by this information notice.

Licensees should be aware of the following:
1. Sludge from onsite sewage treatment plants may be contaminated with
licensed radioactive material which has been concentrated by the
treatment system.
2. The provisions of 10 CFR 20.303 do not apply to the disposal of contami- nated sludge removed from sanitary sewerage systems at nuclear power
stations.
3. Before disposing of sewage treatment sludge, to conform with 10 CFR 20.201, licensees must perform a survey to determine if the sludge is contaminated.
Gamma-ray spectrometry can be performed on representative samples of the
sludge under conditions that provide a lower limit of detection (LLD)
appropriate to measurements of environmental samples. Such measurements
make it possible to distinguish licensed material from other radioactive
materials (natural radioactive materials and world-wide fallout) that may
be present in the sludge.
4. If the sewage sludge from a licensee's sewage treatment facility is
contaminated with licensed radioactive material, it must be disposed of as
radioactive waste in accordance with 10 CFR 20.301.
5. Licensees may apply in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 20.302 to
dispose of sewage sludge containing very low levels of licensed radio- active material in a manner not otherwise authorized in the regulations.
Applications for approval of such disposal should be made to the NRC, or
to the Agreement State, as appropriate.
