viduale will be in involved in transferring waste contriners into or out of the j
addition to prevent the container or container handling boom from contacting the exterior block wall. The quantities of material stored within the addition shall j
1 conform to those specified for Building J.
Dry waste containing Type A quantitics of radioactive material (ref.10 CFR 71.4(q) per container or less and/or less than 0.5 grams of fissile material per container, except Pu, may be stored in the fenced, locked and paved area adjacent to Building J.
Waste containers shall be closed, metal containers suitabic for offsite shipment. The radiation icvel at the boundry of the restricted area (outer fence surrounding the waste stroage area) shall not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR 20.105(b).
The High Level Waste Storage Tubes are located underground adjacent to the south side of the Liquid Waste Disposal Facility. There are thirty (30) tubes arranged in two rows of fifteen tubes.
They are emersed in concrete.
Each tube is constructed of two sections of iron pipe; the upper section %42-inches long with a 6-inch diameter; the lower section, which is wclded to the upper, is % 80-inches long with a 5-inch diameter. Each tube is provided with a concrete filled iron rlag. Details are shown in Figure 3-16.
The tubes are locked and under the
't matrol of Health and Safety.
3.7 Liquid Waste Disposal Facility The liquid Waste Disposal Facility (LWDF) is shown in Figure 3-2.
The LWDF is a below grade tank farm.
A schematic diagram of tank arrangements, piping and pumps is presented in Figure 3-14.
Potentially contaminated waste water is piped from material handling areas to specific tanks so that the type of activity in any given tank can be anticipated. Each tank is provided with piping for thorough mixing by air sparge. The drain lines from cach tank is located in the bottom of the tank to permit complete emptying. Exceptions to this are the two 4000 gal. waste tanks which have floating drains.
The rectangular tanks shown in Figure 3-14 are constructed of concrete.
The interiors are treated with a water-proofing material. The tops are of 3-19 License No.

concrete and access to the tanks for cleaning, inspecting and sampling is gained through man holes.
O The tanks indicated by circles on Figure 3-14 are constructed of steel. The 300 gallon tanks are stainless steel and are not provided with inspection ports.
The 2000 gallon tanks are constructed of carbon steel, treated with an epoxy lining and are equipped with man holes for inspection.
A 10,000 square foot pond is located approximately 150 feet northeast of Building J.
This pond collects storm drainage from Buildings B & C.

A.9.3.3 Liquid Waste 1.
Low-level radioactive liquid wastes are collected in under-ground tanks. Wastes arc discharged to the liquid waste treatment plant at B&W's Naval Nuclear Fuels Division (NNFD).
Prior to discharging wastes to the NNFD the solution shall be mixed and sampled. The sample shall be representative of the liquid to be discharged. The ratio of the sum of the composite materials shall not exceed 25% of the MPC values of Table I, Col. 2, of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, for release to the NNFD waste treatment The limiting values in water shall be determined in syt. tem.
accordance with the note at the end of Appendix B, 10 CFR 20.
These Process liquid wastes are collected and stored indoors.
liquid wastes are solidified and handled as dry waste prior to shipment for off-site disposal.
2.
Concentrations of the mixtures of radioisotopes will be below those defined in Appendix B,10 CFR 20, averaged over
..e year.
Measurements are taken at or before the point of discharge to the James River.
3.
Storage tanks are inspected visually upon each tank voiding to ensure that there are no *mnafe accumulations of special nuc] car material.
4.
The fissile content of the waste tanks shall be less than 0.01 gm/ liter. The tanks shall be analyzed (a) quarterly, (b) whenever emptied, (c) whenever an unknown quantity of fissile lh material has been released to the tanks.
5.
A 10,000 sq. ft. pond collects storm drainage from Buildings B and C.
This pond shall be sampled quarterly for activity.
A.9.3.4 Dry Wastes - Dry waste containing greater than type A quantitics (ref.10 CFR 71.4 (q) of radioactive material per container and/or greater i
l than 0.5 grams of fissile material per container shall be stored indoors in closed containers suitable for off-site shipment. All Pu waste shall be I
stored indoors or in the high level waste storage tubes. Containers may be stored I
All outdoors for short periods of time incidental to transfer or offsite shipment.
container,s may not be stored with overpacks if such are required for transportation.
All other dry waste containing licensed material may be stored in a fenced, locked and paved outside storage area, in closed metal containers suit-able for offsite shipment. The storage area is under positive control and surveillance by health physics, and the License No.

O Babcock & Wilcox L.
Each unit is limited to one of the following.
)
1.
The values given in A.9.5.6.2.
2.
2.4 kg fissile material
- with a H/X ratio of 20 or less.
When units are so limited, no aqueous solutions will be pernitted, and units will not be equipped with water lines.
- Net more than 1 kg of Pu is per.nitted in process area at any one time.
A.9.5.9 Outside Storage A.9.5.9.1 cencral - Outside storage consists of underground storage, shipments, and the fenced storage area located adjacent to Building J.
A.9.5.9.2 Underground Storage - Radioactive materials stored in u-derground storage tubes are limited to one SNM unit (as shown in A.9.5.6.2) tcr tube. Tubes are spaced 20 inches center-to-center and are 5 inches in diameter, and totally immersed in concrete.
A.9.5.9.3 Shipments - Each shipment of fissile material being stored outside will confirm to all license requirements for the type of shipping container. Additionally, each shipment will be nuclearly isolated from all m
j other SNM.
A.9.5.10 Dry Waste - Dry waste is accumulated in 55-gallon drums (or other suitable containers) with a maximum of 45 grams of SNM per container.
These containers are located throughout the laboratories as required to collect contaminated laboratory waste.
Filled containers are transferred, after gamma scanning, to the radioactive waste building for storage.
Dry waste containing 0.5 grams of SNM or less per container may be stored in a fenced, locked and paved outside storage area as described in A.9.3.4.
