Texas Utilities Electric Power Company Comanche Peak Station Solid Waste Registration No. 33306 Proposed Hazardous Waste Permit HW-50356-000

Dear Mr. Bergman:

Texas Utilities (TU) Electric Power Company has filed a hazardous waste permit application for its Comanche Peak Station located in Somervell

County, Texas.

The permit application proposes a container storage area to be used to store a mixture of hazardous waste and low-level radioactive waste, also known as " mixed waste" These wastes will be generated during the maintenance of the nuclear reactor facility.

Specifically, these wastes will consist of spent naptha, varsol or isopropyl alcohol, acids and caustics, spent halogenated and non-halogenated solvents, lab chemicals, paint and paint solvent.

According to the application, the radioactive component of these mixed wastes generally will have an activity level of 10 millirems per hour in a 0.5 liter volume.

The application further states that a typical waste would have a concentration of 0.1 millicuries in 55 gallons.

A total of nine principal isotopes in the waste are listed in the application.

j Also included is post-closure care for landfills located at the

/

site, although these landfills do not have any known radioactive

/

wastes associated with them.

The Permits Section of the Industrial and Hazardous Waste Division is conducting a technical review of this permit application and' must establish jurisdiction for the portions of the application' concerning low-level radioactive waste management, that is, the container storage area.
