______________ AGE:ofl11 PROCEDURE NO.:

0520025 ST. LUCIE PLANT 1.0 TITLE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 2.0 REVIEW AND APPROVAL See cover page 3.0 SCOPE 3.1 Purpose The St. Lucie Plant Process Control Program (PCP) implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. Specifically, the PCP applies to waste form classification of all radioactive waste destined for land burial in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2006.

In addition, the specific requirements are provided for dewatering of bead resins for disposal and for vendor supplied processes for solidification, encapsulation or absorption of liquid or wet solid radioactive wastes when performed on site and under the licenses issued to the St. Lucie Plant by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

If the radioactive waste is shipped to a licensed radioactive waste disposal facility for disposal, the St. Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions, including waste form and waste classification requirements of the disposal sites radioactive material license.

If the radioactive waste is shipped to a radioactive waste processor for further processing of the waste prior to disposal, the St Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions of the radioactive waste processor. In this case, however, it is the responsibility of the radioactive waste processor to meet the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal site license for the radioactive waste shipped to the disposal site.

0520025 ST. LUCIE PLANT 3.2 Discussion

1. The PCP contains provisions to assure that dewatenng of bead resins results in a waste form with characteristics that meet the requirements of 10 CFR 61 as implemented by 10 CFR 20 and of the low level radioactive waste disposal site. The Process Control Program includes in addition to this procedure the following related procedures:

A. St. Lucie Plant Health Physics Procedure No. HP-49, "Dewatering Radioactive Bead Resins."

B. CHEM-NUCLEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Test procedure for Dewatering Conical Bottom Demineralizers and Resin Liners - Project No. 11118.

C. CHEM-NUCLEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Lab Record Sheet for Conical Bottom Demineralizers and Resin Liners - Project No. 11118.

D. Vectra Procedure No. OM-048-WS, Operating Procedure for Vectra/Waste Services Group Resin Drying (Dewatering)

System at Florida Power & Light - St. Lucie Plant.

2. Vendor supplied processes for solidification, encapsulation or absorption of liquid radioactive waste are conducted in accordance with a vendor process control program and appropriate operating procedures specific to the process to be used and are reviewed and accepted by the Facility Review Group and approved by the Plant General Manager. Once approved for use at the St. Lucie Plant, changes to the vendors process control program must be documented in accordance with Technical Specification 6.13 and as shown in Section 4.4. and be reviewed and accepted by the Facility Review Group and approved by the Plant General Manager prior to continued use at the St. Lucie Plant.

3. All radioactive waste shipped for land burial must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2006 regarding waste form classification and packaging. This is implemented through procedure HP-47, "Classification of Radioactive Waste Material for Land Disposal."

REVISION NO.: PROCEDURE TITLE: PAGE:

13A PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 5of11 PROCEDURE NO.:

0520025 ST. LUCIE PLANT 3.3 Authority The authority and responsibility to perform the requirements of this procedure come from 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 61, St. Lucie Plant Unit I Technical Specifications, St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 Technical Specifications and from disposal site criteria.

3.4 Definitions

1. Absorption - The process of absorbing liquid radioactive waste materials onto an absorbent material.

2. Dewaterinq - The process of removing free standing water from a final disposal package which contains radioactive bead resins to meet the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 61 and of the disposal site license and can include drying to a relative humidity end point.

3. Encapsulation - The process of enclosing radioactive waste material within a disposal site approved stabilization media, such that the final product meets the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 61 and of the disposal site license.

4. Free Standing Water - Liquid which is not retained by the waste form.

5. Solidification - The process of solidifying liquid radioactive waste material in a disposal site approved stabilization media, such that the final product meets the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 61 and of the disposal site license.

6. The Process Control Program (PCP) contains the current formulas, sampling, analyses, test and determinations to be made to ensure that processing and packaging of solid radioactive wastes based on demonstrated processing of actual or simulated wet solid wastes will be accomplished in such a way as to assure compliance with 10 CFR Parts 20, 61 and 71, State regulations, burial ground requirements and other requirements governing the disposal of solid radioactive waste.

7. Visual Inspection - The direct observation of the bead resins during the entire period of resin transfer as they are packaged in the final disposal container.

B. Waste Form Classification - Classification of radioactive waste as per 10 CFR 61.55 and 10 CFR 61.56.

0520025 ST. LUCIE PLANT 4.0 PRECAUTIONS 4.1 Process Control Procedures used for the dewatering of radioactive bead resins that establish the conditions that must be met shall be based on full scale testing.

This is to provide reasonable assurance that the dewatering drying of the resin and disposal container will result in volumes of free standing water, at the time of disposal, within the limits of 10 CFR, Part 61 as implemented by 10 CFR 20 and of the low level radioactive waste disposal site.

4.2 Vendor supplied solidification, encapsulation and absorption processes performed on site shall be based on process control procedures, operating procedures and full scale testing that ensures that the final waste form will meet the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 61 and of the disposal site license.

Evidence that the vendor's process control program will meet the applicable waste form requirements of 10 CFR 61 and the disposal site license may be in the form of topical reports, NRC approved documentation, vendor test reports, inspection reports and/or other documentation as appropriate for the specific waste form requirements that must be met (e.g., Class A unstable, Class A stable, Class B or Class C). Procedures which are to be used must be controlled per the vendor's QA program.

4.3 All changes to the St. Lucie Plant Process Control Program shall become effective after review and acceptance by the Facility Review Group and approval of the Plant General Manager.

4.4 All changes to the St. Lucie Plant Process Control Program shall be documented in accordance with Technical Specification 6.13. This documentation shall contain the following:

1. Sufficient information to support the change together with the appropriate analyses or evaluations justifying the change(s) and

2. A determination that the change will maintain the overall conformance of the solidified or dewatered waste product to existing requirements of Federal, State or other applicable regulations.
