11.5 SOLID RADWASTE SYSTEM The Solid Radwaste System collects, processes, , and provides temporary storage for radioactive solid wastes due for offsi te shipment and permanent 11.5.1 Design Objectives 1. To a means of demineralizer resins during plant 2. To provide a means of spent resins and expended filters in containers suitable for transfer from the plant site. 3. To provide a means of packaging low level contaminated solid wastes such as glassware and clothing. 4. The To provide a means of shipment. spent resins and packaging for offsite criteria for the Solid Radwaste Treatment System are as follows: The control over design shall include the plant radioactive those means necessary to maintain solid waste. Appropriate storage shall be provided for retention of solid wastes. In all *cases, the design for radioactivity control shall be justified (a) on the basis of 10CFR20 requirements, for both normal operations and for any transient situation that might be anticipated to occur and (b) on the basis of 10CFR50.67 level limits for potential reactor accidents of exceedingly low of occurrence. 11.5-1 SGS-UFSAR Revision 26 May 21, 2012 The solid waste facility is designed so that offsite are in accordance with applicable governmental The spent resins from the demineralizers and filter cartridges are packaged and stored onsite until shipment offsite for disposal. 11.5.2 System Design The solid processing portion of the Waste Disposal System is designed to package all solid wastes for removal to volume reduction or burial facilities. All packaging shall meet DOT/NRC as applicable upon contents. for burial will conform to burial site criteria. The resins are transferred to appropriate shipping containers for processing as necessary prior to Active Wastes (DAW) are shipped to an off-site volume facility. 11.5.3 Equipment The Solid Radwaste System consists of components and subsystems described below. 11.5-2 SGS-UFSAR Revision 26 May 21, 2012 The resin processing equipment is operated remotely from a control station that a fill head on the appropriate shipping container. The processing is done within the Auxiliary Building to control the release of air and liquid to the environment. Activity levels of the contents are monitored to limit the doses during Off Site Volume Reduction DAW is collected in Sea-vans and then shipped off-site for volume reduction processing by a licensed contractor. The volume-reduced DAW is placed into packages that will meet DOT/NRC approval and then shipped for disposal at a licensed burial site. 11.5.4 Expected Volumes See Section 11.5.7 11.5.5 Packaging Packaging is done in DOT/NRC approved packages, as appropriate, depending upon contents. 11.5.6 Storage Facilities The storage areas are shielded to protect in accessible portions of the solid radwaste area. The is designed.to meet the of 10CFR20. Low-level radwaste can be stored in the Low-Level Radwaste (LLRSF) for up to 5 years if to a Low-Level Radwaste is denied. The LLRSF has been in accordance with guidelines provided in Generic Letter 11.5-3 SGS-UFSAR Revision 26 May 21, 2012 I 11.5.7 Shipment The average annual volumes of solid wastes (on a two unit basis) shipped from the Salem Generating Station are as follows: Spent resins, filter sludges Dry compressible waste, contaminated equipment 25 cubic meters 100 cubic meters The Process Control Program (PCP) has been approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) which outlines the in-plant measures and controls to assure the suitability of radioactive waste products for and/or at a licensed burial site. 11.5.8 Reference for Section 11.5 1.
