6.6 Radioactive Waste Processing A.
The MPU has overall responsibility for solid radioactive waste processing, packaging, storage, (except for transfer of spent nuclear fuel to and from ISFSI) and shipping.
B.
In genual, dry active waste (DAW) processing will be as follows:
(
1.
Solid materials will be collected from the Radiological Controlled Area and placed in the Radioactive Material Lay-down Area (s) (usually pro-designated areas on the 45' Auxiliary Building and in the Butler Buildings).
2.
Materials will be separated and placed in their respective receptacle:
a.
compactible contaminated waste; b.
non-compactible contaminated waste; and c.
clean waste 3.
The RCO is responsible for performing radiological surveys of each container and MPU is responsible for transport to the MPF, 4.
MPU personnel shall receive and add the contents of the containers to the radioactive material inventory.
5.
Each package will be opened and surveyed. Clean wastes will be removed and processed for disposal.
6.
A review of non-compactible contaminated wastes will be conducted to determine if it would be rnore economical to decontaminate the items or to ship them as Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW).
t
'[
CCl-803 Radioactive Materlab Management Rev. B/ Change 1 Page 11 of 17 6.6 Radioactive Waste Processing (Continued) 7.
Compactible contaminated wastes will be compacted into permanent storage / shipping containers, as appropriate.
8.
All LLRW packages will be indexed, inventoried, and assigned to a specific storage location in the MPF until shipment off-site for burial.
C.
Process Control Program (PCP) 1.
Wet Waste a.
Exhausted ion exchange resins are transferred to the Spent Resin Metering Tank or directly to a HlO for dewatering. After the dewatering process is complete, as per Radiation Safety procedures, the HIC is transferred into a cask and shipped for burial / storage, as applicable.
b.
Solids such as bead resin, filter cartridges and powdered resin may be dewatered and shipped in HIC's per approved vendor procedures and the HIC certificate of compliance.
c.
High integrity containers are approved by the individual burial sites as meeting 10 CFR 61 waste form stability requirements.
d.
Free water determination as defined in 10 CFR 61.56 shall be verified by the successful completion and documentation of the I
vendors approved dewatering procedure, 2.
Solidification Solidification of the wet waste shall be conducted by a mobile a.
solidification system. The process equipment procedures, solidification agent, Quality Assurance and Process Control Programs (PCP) shall meet all of the local, county, federal and state burial site criteria, b.
The process control program shall be used to verify the solidification of at least one representative test specimen from at least every tenth batch of each type of wet radioactive waste (e.g.,
filter sludges, spent resins, evaporator bottoms, and boric acid solutions).
(1)
If the initial test specimen from a batch of waste fails to verify solidification, the PCP.shall provide for the collection and testing of representative test specimens from each consecutive batch of the same type of wet waste until at least 3 initial test specimens demonstrate solidification.
m
CCl-803 -
Rodiaactive Materials Management Rev. B/ Change 1 Page 12 of 17 6.6 Radioactive Waste Processing (Continued)
(
(2) if any test specimen fails to verify solidification, the solidification of the batch under test shall be suspended until such a time as additional test specimens can be obtained, alternative solidification parameters can be determined in accordance with the process control program and a subsequent test verifies solidification. The solidification of the batch may then be resumed using alternate solidification parameters determined by the process control program.
3.
10 CFR 61 Requirements a.
The waste classification and manifest reporting program was developed by the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.311,10 CFR 6161.55 and 61.56. The 10 CFR 61 classification requirements will be met using scaling factor methodology by Chemistry as per provisions stated in 10 CFR 61.55.
b.
The scaling factors will be updated by Chemistry in an ongoing analysis program of actual waste streams. The program will initiate annual sampling of available waste streams and may be modified to longer intervals if the data base warrants.
4.
Vendor Services For Waste Processing a.
Contractor supplied services and/or systems may be used at Calvert Cliffs for the processing of radioactive waste. For the operation of such process systems,it may be desirable to use process control measures and procedures developed by the contractor specifically for the system. Therefore, previously addressed process control measures for a particular waste stream may be superseded by contrcctor supplied measures as appropriate. The following discussion addresses the administrative controls that are imposed to assure that contractor supplied services and/or systems for processing radioactive waste for disposal at a burial site are compatible with plant operations, procedures and regulatory requirements, b.
Prior to the use of any contractor for the processing of waste at Calvert Cliffs, management review of the contractor's process controls and operating procedures is performed for the purpose of assuring a safe operation in accordance with plant procedures and applicable regulatory requirements. For the processing of waste that is intended to be shipped for disposal to a licensed radioactive waste burial site, additional precautions are taken to assure a final waste product that meets the appropriate waste characteristic requirements for solidification or dewatering. In particular, the following items are to be documented by the contractor (or Calvert Cliffs manuals or procedures) prior to utilization for solid waste processing at Calvert Cliffs.
