The operator may choose to take the samples from the storage tanks to be solidified in the

Due to the importance of obtaining a representative sample for use in the verification procedure, the operator shall confirm that the contents of the waste form to be solidified have been adequately mixed and

The PNSI operator shall ensure that all terials and equipment are 'on hand prior the sample verification.
Suggested equi terials for the test are as listed below:

NOTE:
The waste and chemicals used to solidify the sam-ple waste must be from the same containers or lot numbers to be used in the full scale sol idificat ion.
1.4 A one-liter sample shall be taken for solidification in the laboratory for each separate batch of waste to be processed.
The operator may choose to take the samples from the storage tanks to be solidified in the
- liner, or may take the sample from the liner directly, after the waste has been transferred to the liner.
Due to
~ the importance of 'obtaining a representative sample for use in the verification procedure.
the operator shall confirm that the contents of the waste form to be solidified have been adequately mixed and that the sample is a part of a homogeneously mixed waste batch.

sample solidification shall be performed attempting to perform a
full scale solidification.
The PJpg operator shall ensure that a Radiological Work Pe~i ~ has been issued for the performance of the sample verification activity and that adequate personnel monitoring and radiation detection equipment is on hand.
The PNP operator shal 1 ensure that al 1 necessary materials and equipment are on hand prior to beginning the sample verification.
Suagested equipment and ma-terials for the test are as listed below:
6 i00 to 500 mL plastic beakers 6
mixing spatulas 1
500 gram capacity scale 50g pH Adjustment Additive (Example:
&oric Acid, Cal-cium Hydroxide. etc.)
10 g Red Top Retarder or equivalent 1000 g
Envirostone 20 g Accelerator, Alum or equivalent (if required)
NOTE:
The waste and chemicals used to solidify the sample waste must be from. the same containers or lot numbers to be used in the full scale solidification.
1.4 A one-liter sample shal 1 be taken for solidification in the laboratory from the bead resin tank and from the boric acid tank.
Due to the importance of obtaining a
representative sample for use in the verification procedure, the operator shal 1 conf irm that the contents of the waste form to be solidified have been adequately mixed and that the sample is a part of a homogeneously mixed waste batch.
2+ 0 SAMPLE VERIFICATION Record the initial pH, radiation level and temperature of the waste samples.
2I 2 Provide a
waste sample (si"e to be specified by the plant) to the plant staff for isotopic analysis.

The PNSI operator shall ensure that a, Radpologlcal Work Permit has been issued for the perfoi Oance of the sample verification activity and that adequate~
person-nel monitoring and radiation detection equipment is on
/
hand.
The PNSI operator shall ensure that al 1 ecessary ma-terials and equipment are on hand prior to beginning the sample verification.
Suagested equipment and ma-terials for the test are as listed below:
6 300 to 500 mL plastic beakers 6 mixing spatulas 1
500 gram capacity scale 10 g
Red Top Retarder or equivalent (if required) 1000 g
Envirostone
=0 o
Accelerator.
Alum or equivalent (if required)
NOTE:
The waste and chemicals used to solidify the sam-ple waste must be from the same container s or lot numbers to be used in the full scale solidi f ication.
1.4 A one-liter sample shall be taken for solidification in the laboratory for each separate batch of waste to be processed.
The operator may choose to take the samples from the storage tanks to be solidified in the liner.
or may take the sample from the liner directly, after the waste has been transferred to the liner.
Due to the importance of obtaining a representative sample for use in the verification procedure, the operator shall confirm that the contents of the waste form to be solidified have been adequately mixed and that the sample is a part of a homogeneously mixed waste batch.
2 ~ 0 SAMPLE VERIFICATION Record the informati on obtained during sample veri fica-tion on the Sample Verification Worksheet.
~ 4 Provide a
waste sample (si=e to be specified by the plant) to the plant staff for isotopic analysis.

Add tapwater inorder to bring the waste sample volume up to 253 ml.

the sample until the mL:<ture begins to thicker.
Record the time from the start of adding the Enviro-stone to the time that, the mi:<ture thickens such that mixing is no longer required (mi>l time>
and the time from the start of adding the Envirostone to the time that the waste is firm to the touch (setup time).
Additional Envirostone can be added if necessary to achieve a satisfactory end product.
However. if addi-tional Envirostone must be added, the waste solidifica-tion efficiency must be redetermined and the waste volume to be added to the solidification liner may have to be adjusted.

If the waste setup time i s less than 20 minutes if a 50 cubic foot liner is being used, is less than 60 minutes if a 142 cu ft liner is being used.
or xs less than 90 minutes if a larger liner is being used, add Red Top Retarder to the 200 ml waste sample at a
rate of Retarder Wt
= 0.05% of Envirostone Wt to adjust the waste setup time to the minimum time requirement for the liner si=e being used.
Increase the amount of retarder added to the sample until the desired setup time is achieved.
2.8 If the waste setup time is longer than operationally
-add accelerator to the 200 ml waste sample at a
rate of Acceler'ator Wt = 1.0/ of Envirostone Wt to adjust the waste setup time to the ma;<imum time.
In-crease the amount of accelerator to the sample until the desired setup time is achieved.

If a satisfactory sample cannot be obtained the operator should contact the Regional Operations Manager before proceeding.
