Docket No. 50-416 i

Grand Gulf License No. NPF-29 i

1 During an NRC inspection conducted on November 22-23, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C l

the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1.g required the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures covering implementation of the Process Control Program (PCP). TS 1.32 specified that the PCP shall contain the current formulas, sampling, analyses, test,. and determinations to be made to ensure that processing and packaging of solid radioactive wastes based on demonstrated processing of. actual or simulated wet solid wastes will be accomplished in such a way as to assure compliance with 10.CFR Parts 20, 61, and 71, State regulations, burial ground requirements, and other requirements governing the disposal of solid radioactive waste.

Condition 36 of License No. 097, issued to Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc, Barnwell, South Carolina, by the State of South Carolina, specified that the licensee (Chem-Nuclear) may l

receive resins and filter media in dewatered form provided that the free standing liquid requirements of Condition 32 were met. Condition 32.8 specified that solidified radioactive waste shall have no detectable free standing liquids in excess of one-half percent (0.5%) by waste volume of non-corrosive liquids per container.

Contrary to the above, on November 8, 1993, the licensee shipped a container of resins to the Chem-Nuclear waste disposal site which was found, by the disposal site operator, to contain 0.7 volume percent _of free standing liquid.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
