20555 Attention:
Mr.
J.
Page, Chief Uranium Process Licensing Branch Gentlemen:
Subject:
Advanced Waste Treatment Process Descriotion and Ocerations Proprietary Application The Wes tinghouse Electric Corporation hereby requests an amendment to License SNM-1107 to authorize the use of SNM in the Advanced Waste Treatment Process in accordance with the information described in the enclosure to this letter.
The Advanced Waste Treatment Building construction was approved by the NRC in a letter dated Occobor 23, 1979.
Changes to the Condition Sections of the license are not required as the treatment of wastes is described in Section 2 of the existing license (Subparagraph 2.1.2) and radiological and nuclear criticality parameters are identical to those described in Sections 2, 3 and 4.
Attached are changed pages to Section 1 of the existing license.
The current uranium removal process at the Columbia Plant reduces uranium concentrations in the waste strean to about 15 mg U/ Liter.
The Advanced Waste Treatment Process will further reduce these concentrations to less than 1 mg U/ Liter.
The recovered uranium will be recycled back to the manufacturing process for incorporation into nuclear fuel, thus preserving a natural resource and reducing relcases of radioactivity to the environment.
Therefore, a net positive effect on the environment is expected.
Processing of wastes is expected to begin in July 1980; consequently, we would appreciate your timely attention to this application.
