'l.
To clearly establish the type of waste that the licensee intends to store in this facility, define the term " Low Level" as used in Ser, tion 1.0.
-2.
Describe ~ the features of the design which will ensure that there will be no standing liquids where the wastes will be stored-(i.e. how does the design ensure that the liquids drain to the sump and do not remain in the storage area?).
3.
Describe the source and the expected amount of liquids released from the facility.
4.
Describe the plan for disposition of the liquids in the sump.
Include sampling procedures and criteria in the response.
5.
Describe the activities that will be ongoing in areas adjacent to the proposed facility. Will shield walls be constructed to minimize exposures to personnel performing work in adjacent areas?
6.
Section 4.2 states that "The slab and columns shall be coated to the height necessary to allow decontamination of the surfaces." Describe the method for determining this height.
7.
Section 4.3 states that "Only those personnel actively involved in the material handling activities should be allowed inside a.e fence enclosing the ISWSF." Describe the actions to be taken to ensure this statement is enforced.
8.
Section 5.1 states that "The ISWSF will allow separation of Unit I wastes from Unit II wastes." Describe the administrative controls to ensure separation and the physical design features of the facility which ensure separation.
9.
The administrative controls on radiation levels, as described in section 5.3, are not clearly understood.
Are there separate administrative levels for each type of container depending on which unit originates the waste?
10.
Describe the administrative limits and physical design features which ensure that waste containers will not be vertically stacked beyond the m
