In your response
to Violation A(1), you stated that you did not agree that the
requirement for minimum volume of liquid in waste
was not met
and that tests
conducted
Department of Health
and
Environmental
Control,
FPL and
Chem Nuclear indicated that the criteria for minimum volume of liquid
(O.M) had
been
met.
The regulations
specify that in no case
shall liquid
exceed
0.5% of the volume of the waste for waste
processed
to
a stable
form.
Liquid is not defined by the regulations
as water but may be any physical state
characterized
by the free
movement of material.
As verified by your
own
guality Assurance
audit,
one liner in the
shipment
in question failed to
solidify, as
evidenced
by
a paste-like
material
flowing from the liner when
punctured,
while the
second
contained
a
mass
equal
to approximately
85K
solidification.
It is the
NRC position that the requirement for 0.5% minimum
volume of liquid means that 99.5X of the volume of the waste will be solid.
In
the
case of your liners,
one was free flowing when punctured
and the other was
only 85% solidified.
Therefore,
the criteria for minimum volume of liquid in
your shipment
was not met and the violation is considered
correct
as stated.
