The Turkey Point Process Control Program (PCP) implements requirements of the Turkey Point 3 and 4 Technical Specifications and provides instructions for the removal of free-standing water from liners containing radioactive bead resin, powdex resin, or charcoal.
3.1 Discussion
The PCP contains provisions to ensure that dewatering of radioactive bead resin, powdex resin and charcoal results in a waste form with characteristics that meet the requirements of 10CFR 61 as implemented by 10CFR 20 and of the low level radioactive waste disposal site. The Process Control Program includes in addition to this procedure, the following related documents:

PROCE'SS CONTROL PROGRAM FOR OEWATERIHG RADIOACTIVE WASTE LINERS
3.3 Definitions
3.3. 1 Dewatering: The process of removing "Free-Standing" water from a final disposal package.
3.3.2 "Free-Standing Water": Liquid which is not retained by the waste form.
3.3.3 Process Control Program (PCP): A program which contains the provisions, based on full scale testing, to ensure that dewatering of radioactive bead resin, powdered resin or charcoal results in a waste form with the properties that meet the requirements of 10CFR 61 (as implemented by 10CFR 20) and of the low level radioactive waste disposal site.
4.0 Precautions
4.1 Instructions used for the dewatering of liners which establish the conditions to be met, shall be based on full scale testing. This is to provide reasonable assurance that the dewatering will result in volumes of free-standing water, at the time of disposal, within the limits of 10CFR, Part 61 as implemented by 10CFR 20 and of the low
-level radioactive waste disposal site.
4.2 Class "6" and "C" radioactive waste (as determined by 10CFR .61 and O-HPA-040, Shipping and Receiving Radioactive Material) may be transferred to the disposal site in a High Integrity Container (HIC) approved for disposal by the licensing agency for the disposal site.
Ho other containers may be used without PNSC approval.
4.3 Do not use High Integrity Containers for radioactive material that could chemically or physically damage or otherwise exceed the allowable limits of the HIC.
4.4 Changes to the Turkey Point Plant Process Control Program shall be reviewed and approved by the PNSC before they become effective.
4.S Changes to the Turkey Point Plant Process Control Program shall be submitted to the HRC in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change(s) was made. This submittal shall contain the following:
4.5.1 Sufficiently detailed information to support the rationale for the change.
4.5.2 A determination that the change did not reduce the overall conformance of the dewatered waste to existing criteria for stabilized waste form.
4.S.3 Documentation of the fact that the change has been reviewed and found acceptable by the PNSC.

OPERATING I OCEOURE 11550.48, HP-48, PAGE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM FOR OEWATERING RAOIOACTIVE WASTE LINERS 4.6 Oisposal of radioact1ve bead resin which is Class 8 or Class C, or wh1ch 1s Class A and has a concentration of radionuclides with half-11ves greater than f1ve years and exceeding one microcur1e per cubic centimeter, fs limited to HICs with an approved certificate of compliance issued by the 11censing agency for the disposal site.
4.7 Radioactive bead resin which is Class A, and which has a concentration of radionuclides with half-lives greater than five years but not exceeding one microcurie per cubic centimeter, may be packaged in HICs or disposable carbon steel cask liners.
4.8 Oisposal of radioact1ve charcoal filter media which is Class B or Class C, or which has a concentration of radionucl1des with half-lives greater than five year s and exceeding one microcurie per cubic centimeter, is limited to HICs with an approved cert1ficate of compliance issued by the licensing agency for the disposal site.
4.9 Radioactive charcoal filter media which is Class A, and which has a concentration of radionuclides with half-lives greater than five years but not exceeding one microcurie per cubic centimeter, may be packaged in HICs or d1sposable carbon steel cask liners.
4.10 01sposal of condensate polishing resin is permitted in HICs or disposable cargon steel cask liners.
4.11 Personnel performing the dewatering procedure should be aware that strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid, when in contact w1th organic ion-exchange material and in the presence of air, may produce a slightly degraded resin in an exothermic reaction, up to an-explosion. The first indication of an exothermic reaction due to the presence of oxid1zing agents is some fuming and a slight rise in temperature on the outside of the container. If this cond1tion is found when dewatering a vessel, immediately refill the vessel with water. This will elim1nate one of the 1ngredients necessary for the reaction (air) and will dissipate the majority of the heat, returning the temperature of the vessel to ambient. When the condition has stabilized, notify the immediate supervisor.
5.0 Res onsibilities:
5.1 It is the responsibility of the Plant Manager to assure that necessary procedures, equipment and support are provided to properly implement the PCP.
5.2 It is the responsibility of the Health Physics Superv1sor, or designee, to ensure that all liners will be dewatered in accordance with the PCP.
