This list is not exhaustive and surrogate waste streamsmay be used.

ResinsRadioactive LiquidsDry Active Waste (DAW)Mechanical Filters[2] Frequency for sampling of existing waste streams:(a) Noted exceptions to Class A, B & C waste sample frequenciesResin media - if there is not sufficient volume in the tank or there is nointended shipment to be made, then no sample is required. The resinmedia (tank containing the waste stream) will be sampled prior to thenext shipment after a sufficient volume (tank level) is attained orshipment is scheduled. The results of the sample taken will be used tocharacterize all waste (in the tank) generated since the previouslydocumented 10CFR61 results.Filters -IF there is not sufficient volume in the container OR there is nointended shipment to be made,THEN no sample is required. Samplingof filters will occur within the periodicity noted unless it is discovered thatthe waste stream information does not match the plant conditions.

IFthis situation occurs,THEN additional methods for sampling will beemployed (filter smears, clippings OR running flow of the waste streamthrough a Millipore filter of similar micron size as the filter in service) toobtain an official sample. The 10CFR61 waste stream analysis resultswill be used to characterize all filters generated since the previouslydocumented waste stream results.(b) Class A Waste - at least biennially (within two years from the datethe lastofficial 10CFR61sample was taken).

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 6 of 18Scaling Factors5.2[2] continued(c) Class B & C Waste - at least annually (within one year from the date the lastofficial 10CFR61sample was taken).NOTESpecific examples of significant equipment or process changes include: changes in oxidationreduction methods such as zinc injection, hydrogen water chemistry, media specialization,media distribution ion/cation ratios, fuel leaks and other changes in reactor coolantchemistry, sustained, unexplained changes in the routinely monitored Beta/Alpha ratios asdetermined by Radiation Protection, extended Reactor shutdown (>90 days), changes toliquid waste processing such as bypassing filters, utilizing filters or a change in ion exchangemedia, or when there are changes to waste stream that could change biogas generation rate.(d)IF there is a reason to believe that an equipment or process change hassignificantly altered the previously determined scaling factors by a factor of 10,THEN samples should be taken in addition to the annual/biennial samplingfrequency. The waste stream sample should be analyzed, re-evaluatedAND ifnecessary, shipped to a vendor laboratory for additional analysis.

[3] Trending(a) Once per quarter, each site shall compare one of the following listed ratios tothe previous four quarter average of that same ratio for the primary wastestream. The ratios are taken from the Chemistry reactor water sample for thestation for one of the desired combinations.Cs-137 to Co-60 I-134 to Co-60Dose equivalent Iodine (DEI) to Co-60I-133 to I-131Cs-134 to Cs-137(b) Calculate an average of the ratios for the last four quartersAND compare theaverage to the current quarter.(c)IF the comparison is less than a factor of ten,THEN no action is required.

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 7 of 18Scaling Factors5.2[3] continued (d)IF the comparison is more than or equal to a factor of ten higher,THEN theprimary waste stream is to be sampled, analyzed, evaluated for change(increase) in waste class prior to the next shipment.(e)IF the change is more than or equal to a factor of ten lower,THEN the primarywaste stream should be evaluated for a change (reduction) in waste class priorto the next shipment. Once it has been determined that the primary wastestream needs to be resampled prior to the next shipment, no further quarterlytrending is necessary until the new data is obtained and accepted for update ofthe waste stream.(f)Document quarterly trending on Attachment 9.2.[4] For non-routine waste streams, generate scaling factors on a case by case basis5.3 INDEPENDENT LABORATORY ANALYSIS[1] Obtain a sample from the appropriate waste stream and perform an in-house gammaspectral analysis of the waste stream sample.[2] Enter the in-house gamma spectral analysis results into the RADMAN Samplesmodule.(a)IF using RADMAN version 8.2,THEN reference RADMAN OperatingProcedure, WMG-P-065.(b)IF using the current version of RADMAN,THEN reference RADMAN OperatingProcedure WMG-P-103[3] Ship the waste stream sample to the independent laboratory for 10 CFR 61 sampleanalysis per the vendor's instructions and in accordance with, EN-RW-102,Radioactive Shipping Procedure.

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 8 of 18Scaling Factors5.4 WASTE STREAM SAMPLE DATA SCREENING[1] Using Attachment 9.1, "10 CFR Part 61 Waste Stream Sample Screening andEvaluation", perform the waste stream sample data screening.(a)IF the waste stream sample data activities are reported in uCi/g,THEN theymust be converted to uCi/cc and nCi/g to perform the lower limit of detection(LLD) comparison.(b)IF the activities are reported in uCi/sample,THEN the LLD comparisons cannotbe performed.

[2]WHEN performing the nuclide elimination,THEN document the nuclides eliminated onAttachment 9.1 or on the independent laboratory waste stream sample analysis.[3] Upon completion of the waste stream sample screening process, enter the new wastestream data into the RADMAN Samples module (a)IF using RADMAN version 8.2,THEN enter data according to RADMANOperating Procedure, WMG-P-065.(b)IF using the current version of RADMAN,THEN enter data according toRADMAN Operating Procedure, WMG-P-103.[4] Complete the "entered by"AND "verified by" on Attachment 9.1.5.5 WASTE STREAM SAMPLE DATA EVALUATION USING RADMAN VERSION 8.2[1] Use Attachment 9.1 in conjunction with these instructions to perform the waste streamsample data evaluation.[2] Compare the independent laboratory results to the in-house gamma results for thesame sample using the Validate program in the RADMAN Samples module perRADMAN Operating Procedure, WMG-P-065. The comparisons performed arespecific activity (for samples results reported in uCi/g or uCi/cc) and fractionalabundance.

[3]IF the specific activity OR fractional abundance comparison exceeds therecommended variance,THEN:(a) Investigate to determine the reason for the variance OR re-sampleAND re-analyze the waste stream.(b) Document the results of the investigation OR the reason for re-sampling andre-analyzing the waste stream on Attachment 9.1.

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 9 of 18Scaling Factors5.5[3] continued (c)IF the new waste stream sample data is determined acceptable with variancesgreater than what is recommended,THEN document the explanation for thevariance and disposition on Attachment 9.1.(d)IF the new waste stream sample data is determined to be unacceptable due tovariances greater than what is recommended OR the waste stream isresampled and analyzed,THEN initiate a Condition Report.NOTEExercising the Simulate Database Update function does not affect the existing waste stream10 CFR Part 61 database. This program is a useful tool for determining the appropriateoption (Retain old data and re-sample, Replace old data with new, or Combine old data withnew) for updating the 10 CFR Part 61 database.The NRC approved Topical Report for RADMAN contains flowcharts that can be used to helpexplain variances.For new waste streams being developed there will not be a sample in the database toupdate. In this case the parts of Attachment 9.1 concerning comparison to the database maybe marked as not applicable ("N/A").[4] Using the RADMAN Simulate Database Update function according to RADMANOperating Procedure WMG-P-065, compare the specific activity, fractional abundanceand scaling factors from the existing waste stream sample data to the newindependent laboratory sample data set.

[5]IF the specific activity, fractional abundance OR scaling factor comparison exceedsthe recommended variance,THEN:(a) Perform an investigation to determine a reason for the variance OR resampleand reanalyze the waste stream.(b) Document the results of the investigation OR the reason for resampling andreanalyzing the waste stream on Attachment 9.1.(c)IF the new waste stream sample data is determined acceptable with variancesgreater than what is recommended,THEN document the explanation for the varianceAND disposition on Attachment 9.1.

This list is not exhaustive and surrogate waste streamsmay be used.

ResinsRadioactive LiquidsDry Active Waste (DAW)Mechanical Filters[2] Frequency for sampling of existing waste streams:(a) Noted exceptions to Class A, B & C waste sample frequenciesResin media - if there is not sufficient volume in the tank or there is nointended shipment to be made, then no sample is required. The resinmedia (tank containing the waste stream) will be sampled prior to thenext shipment after a sufficient volume (tank level) is attained orshipment is scheduled. The results of the sample taken will be used tocharacterize all waste (in the tank) generated since the previouslydocumented 10CFR61 results.Filters -IF there is not sufficient volume in the container OR there is nointended shipment to be made,THEN no sample is required. Samplingof filters will occur within the periodicity noted unless it is discovered thatthe waste stream information does not match the plant conditions.

IFthis situation occurs,THEN additional methods for sampling will beemployed (filter smears, clippings OR running flow of the waste streamthrough a Millipore filter of similar micron size as the filter in service) toobtain an official sample. The 10CFR61 waste stream analysis resultswill be used to characterize all filters generated since the previouslydocumented waste stream results.(b) Class A Waste - at least biennially (within two years from the datethe lastofficial 10CFR61sample was taken).

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 6 of 18Scaling Factors5.2[2] continued(c) Class B & C Waste - at least annually (within one year from the date the lastofficial 10CFR61sample was taken).NOTESpecific examples of significant equipment or process changes include: changes in oxidationreduction methods such as zinc injection, hydrogen water chemistry, media specialization,media distribution ion/cation ratios, fuel leaks and other changes in reactor coolantchemistry, sustained, unexplained changes in the routinely monitored Beta/Alpha ratios asdetermined by Radiation Protection, extended Reactor shutdown (>90 days), changes toliquid waste processing such as bypassing filters, utilizing filters or a change in ion exchangemedia, or when there are changes to waste stream that could change biogas generation rate.(d)IF there is a reason to believe that an equipment or process change hassignificantly altered the previously determined scaling factors by a factor of 10,THEN samples should be taken in addition to the annual/biennial samplingfrequency. The waste stream sample should be analyzed, re-evaluatedAND ifnecessary, shipped to a vendor laboratory for additional analysis.

[3] Trending(a) Once per quarter, each site shall compare one of the following listed ratios tothe previous four quarter average of that same ratio for the primary wastestream. The ratios are taken from the Chemistry reactor water sample for thestation for one of the desired combinations.Cs-137 to Co-60 I-134 to Co-60Dose equivalent Iodine (DEI) to Co-60I-133 to I-131Cs-134 to Cs-137(b) Calculate an average of the ratios for the last four quartersAND compare theaverage to the current quarter.(c)IF the comparison is less than a factor of ten,THEN no action is required.

NUCLEARMANAGEMENTMANUAL N ON-QUALITY RELATEDEN-RW-104REV. 12 INFORMATIONAL U SEPage 7 of 18Scaling Factors5.2[3] continued (d)IF the comparison is more than or equal to a factor of ten higher,THEN theprimary waste stream is to be sampled, analyzed, evaluated for change(increase) in waste class prior to the next shipment.(e)IF the change is more than or equal to a factor of ten lower,THEN the primarywaste stream should be evaluated for a change (reduction) in waste class priorto the next shipment. Once it has been determined that the primary wastestream needs to be resampled prior to the next shipment, no further quarterlytrending is necessary until the new data is obtained and accepted for update ofthe waste stream.(f)Document quarterly trending on Attachment 9.2.[4] For non-routine waste streams, generate scaling factors on a case by case basis5.3 INDEPENDENT LABORATORY ANALYSIS[1] Obtain a sample from the appropriate waste stream and perform an in-house gammaspectral analysis of the waste stream sample.[2] Enter the in-house gamma spectral analysis results into the RADMAN Samplesmodule.(a)IF using RADMAN version 8.2,THEN reference RADMAN OperatingProcedure, WMG-P-065.(b)IF using the current version of RADMAN,THEN reference RADMAN OperatingProcedure WMG-P-103[3] Ship the waste stream sample to the independent laboratory for 10 CFR 61 sampleanalysis per the vendor's instructions and in accordance with, EN-RW-102,Radioactive Shipping Procedure.
