October 9, 1979 Dockets Nos. 50-313 and 50-368 Mr. William Cavanaugh, III Vice Prr.sident, Generation and '.onstruction P. O Box 551 Litcle Rock, Arkansas 72203
Dear Mr. Cavanaugh:
By letter dated June 13, 1979, we requested that you submit your solid waste process control program (SWPCP) and Technical Specifications (TS) which address solidification of waste for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (AN0-1).
In our tel; phone conversation with your Mr. David Mardis and Mr Steve Pitzel on July 2,1979, we indicated that we would address your except1 'ns con-cerning TS for solidification which you expressed in your letter Jated March 9, 1979.
In your Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for ANO-2 you conmitted to solidify radioactive waste from Units Nos.1 and 2 in the plant solid radio-active waste system. We found your system acceptable and this supported the basis for which you were issued an operating license for Unit 2.
We do not see the inclusion of TS and a SWPCP in the license to be superfluous and unnecessary. Rather we consider that they should be included to pro-vide assurance of the implementation of your radwaste solidification program and thus to protect the health and safety of the public.
We take this position since the NRC is obligated to the states which have burial sites to assure that the solid waste shipped to the burial grounds are of acceptable quality.
The TS will provide that assurance.
To assist you in prepat ing tae SWPCP, by letter dated August 6,1979, we provided you guidarce.
Also, by letter dated August 6,1979, we provided a copy of NUREG 0472, Revision 2 which contains example Radiological Effluent TS.
You are requested to submit a SWPCP in accordance with the guidance given in our letter of August 6,1979 and radwaste :;olidification for ANO-l and ANO-2 TS like that indicated in Section 3.11.3.1 of NUREG 0472, Revision 2.
Sincerely, g
Y h' !
