Attachment II CHANGES TO Tile PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE SOLIDIFICATION

Background

Presently, a TCN (No. 1-82-0152) exists which incorporates the most recent changes to OP 1104-28I, the Hittman Process Control Program.

The following outlines the changes to the PCP since the last submittal to the Semi-Annual Ef fluent Report, August 31, 1982.

Procedure Changes

1) Section 2.1.4 System Description (Other Waste Streams)

Section 2.0 System Description, provides some background as to the various liquid waste streams generated by TMI 1, which require solidification.

Section 2.1.4 has been included to identify additional liquid waste streams which are not suitable for evaporation (concentration) and are solidified directly.

The additional waste streams identified are detergents and sludges.

The detergents are generated principally from OTSG repair work or other types of decontamination activities which generate sufficient quantities of liquid.

Sludges are generated as a result of cleaning activities of sumps.

The sludges are typically sediments that have collected or built up due to normal plant activity and are removed f rom the sumps periodically to pre-clude damage to the liquid radwaste system.

2) Section 2.2.2 Cement Feed Subsystem (Anti Foaming Agents)

This new section provides for addition of anti-foaming agents to the solidification liners prior to filling with waste. Working with detergents creates significant foaming when the waste is agitated. Anti-foam is pre-loaded into the liner (in quantities established by this PCP) to climinate foaming problems.

3) Section 3.2.2.1 c Collection of Samples This new section establishes sampling and analysis requirements for the additional waste stream required to perform the PCP verification test.

4) Section 3.2.3.4 Collection of Samples Additional words are added to this paragraph to agitate these additional waste streams prior to sampling.

It should be noted that these wastes are stored in drums or containers while awaiting processing.

5) Sections 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 Waste Conditioning l

The addition of these sections establishes the mechanism for adjusting the pH to condition the newly identified waste streams prior to verification testing.

PDR

6) Sections 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 Test Solidification These two sections are included to establish the parameters for the verification testing. These sections refer to Table 1 which has been expanded to include parameters for the new waste streams (i.e. Immunol and sump sludge) as well as for an oil and concentrated waste solidifica-tion. All volumes included on Table 1 are in terms of loose uncompacted material.

7) Note after 4.3.2 Solidification Acceptability This note provides for a range of combinations that can be used for the final solidification parameters. Table 1 identifies lower and upper ranges for the verification test.

A final acceptable product within these parameters will allow for final parameters to be a ratio of admix-tures that fall within the range.

8) Waste Solidification Data Sheet for Immunolond Waste Solidification Data Sheet for Sump Sludge.

Work sheets have been included in this PCP to document performance of the verification test for the additional waste streams of Immunol (detergent) and sump sludges. These work sheets and calculation sheets are used to identify the admixtures used for the verification test and establish the final quantities of the admixtures required for the liner solidification.

These changes will remain as part of the procedure when a PCR is submitted.

A copy of the TCN is attached for reference.

HITTMAN NUCLEAR AND DEVELOPENT CORPORATION PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM Incontainer Solidification 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) for incontainer solidi-fication is to provide a program which will assure a solidified product with no free liquid prior to transportation for disposal.

The program consists of three major steps, which are:

a.

Procedures for collecting and analyzing samples; i

b.

Procedures for solidifying samples;

' c.

Criteria for process parameters for acceptance or rejection as solidified waste.

2.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The systems described herein are designed to handle the solidification of liquids, evaporator bottoms, other concentrated liquids, contaminated oil spent resin, filtar sludge and other miscellaneous waste. Concentrated liquids are processed at elevated temperatures as required to keep the salts in solution. The various operations are as described below.

2.1 Waste Feed System l

2.1.1 Concentrated Waste (Evaporator Bottoms)

The waste feed system consists of pemanent plant pumps and piping for the recirculation of concentrated evapora-tor bottoms from the concentrated waste storage tanks and permanent transfer piping teminating at the Hittman Building. The concentrated waste being recirculated with the CWST transfer pumps (WDL-P-12 A/B) is diverted to pump waste to the Hittman disposal liner.

1.0 FOC USE IN UNIT I ONLY

=

FOR USE IN UNIT I ONLY 1 m -2Bt Revision 0 The pumps and the valve lineup is manually controlled and flow is discontinued when a predetemined level is reached in the liner.

2.1.2 Bead Resin and Powdered Resin The waste feed system consists of THI-1 resin recircula-tion hoses attached to the resin disposal and dewater return connections on the outside wall of the Auxiliary Building. Resin may be directed either to the disposal liner or back to the resin tank via the dewater return connection. The resin flow the liner is stopped when the resin slurry reaches a predetemined level. A dewatering pump operating during the fill cycle dewaters the ifner until loss of flow is detected. The dewater pump, a positive displacement air operated diaphragm pump, is stopped. The resin flow is restarted and continued until the predetermined level is reached. The dewater pump is restarted. The fill and dewater procedure is repeated until the dewatering cycle no longer brings the resin level down below the predetemined level. Based on liner size used, a predetemined quantity of water is added back into the liner through the dewatering element to fluff the bed to relieve any bed packing.

Liners used for powederd resin have special bottom designs to preclude plugging of the dewatering elements.

2.1.3 Oily Waste Due to tre low activity lewis associated with oil wastes, the liners in which the oil is to be solidified c an be filled by hand o r with a small pisap. The liner is filled to a preset lew1 (dete rmined visually). Tte quantity of e vapo rato r bottoms determined by tre wriff-cation test is added as described in section 2.1.1<.

2.2 Cement Feed Subsystem Cenent and chemical addities are batch loaded into the shipping containe r, whe re the actual mixing occurs, by means of a screw co n veyo r.

This subsystem consists of:

a.

Cement toppe r with discha rge adapto r b.

Se mw feede r and d ri ve moto r c.

Container inlet valve As a function of waste volume and container size, tre appropriate anount of cement and additives for a single batch are pre-loaded into the cement topper which, though the discharge adaptor, meters the cement to the screw feeder.

Cement is conveyed through the flexible screw feeder to the top of the container, where it passes through the container inlet valwe and falls by gravity into tie radwaste while the mixing blades are tuming.

Dusting is minimized by pre-loading the cement lopper with a krown volume of cement, as deteruined Dy the Waste Solidification Data Steet, and by tfe use of a dust collector as a featum of tre wnt air filter subsystem (see 2.4).

2.3 Mixi ng Each liner is supplied with an internal mixing device designed to pm vide tho mugh mixing of the entirs liner contents. A mixing moto r counted on the top of the liner prior to the filling opera-tion is sta rted prio r to tre addition of cement. Mixing continues for appmximately twenty minutes o r until the motor automatically trips off due to high resistance to mixing. The mixtum will be completely firm within 4 inurs and be suitable for transport.

2.4 Vent Air Filter Subsystem The fill head also ircludes an elbowed vent line. The vent line is hard piped to the edge of the cask whem roses can be connected to allow the air being vented from the cask to be conveyed to the ventilation system. The vent line on the fill inad is connected with flexible hose to a sealed 55 gallon drum used to detect an inadve rtent o ver flow of the liner. A liquid level sensor in the drum will activate an audible alarm in the event that liquid enters the drum. Tre drum prevents r:oistura intrusion into the air filtration system. The filtration system consists of flat fabric filters to recove pa rticulates (especially cement dust) from the 4.0 FO : U5E ll UN;T I ONLY

OR USE IN UN T I ONLY 1104-2B1 Revision 0 vent air. Tne vent air then goes through a HEPA and a charcoal filter before being discharged to the TMI-1 Auxiliary Building. An auxiliary blower in the TMI-1 Auxiliary Buiding installed at the discharge of the vent line is installed to allow th'

. t line to be operated urder a slight negative pressure.

4.1.f?

If oily waste is to be solidified, an emulsifier shall be added to pretreat the waste sample as follows:

1.

Allow one sample to stand undisturbed until the water / oil interface is clearly discernible and detemine the percent by volume of the oil.

If this volume is greater than 40 percent add a sufficient quantity of waste (or other aqueous liquid to be solidified) to reduce the percent of oil by volume to less than 40 percent. Use the Waste Calculation Data Sheet to detemine the quantity of liquid to add. When the correct oil to water ratio is reached, measure and record the pH (pH paper may be used if a measurement cannot be made with a meter because of oil fouling).

2.

Prior to the test sample solidification, the oily waste is treated with a predetemined quantity of emulsifier.

For this application, Maysol 776 is used at a ratio of 1 part emulsifier to 5.1 parts oil by volume. The emulsifier has a density of one.

If the waste (other than waste oil) is only par-tially solidified, use lower waste to cement and Metso ratios. Using the recomended quantities of cement and Metso Beads, reduce the waste sample volume 25 ml untti the acceptability criteria of Section 4.3 are met.

4.

If the waste oil mixture is only partially solidi-fied try using lower waste to cement ratios. Reduce the quantity of waste by 20 m1 and the emulsifier by 1 m1, (This will result in a slightly higher concen-tration of emulsifier in the waste) and proceed with the test solidification.

Continue with similar reductions until a satisfactory product is achieved.

APPENDIX A CDNCENTRATION OF POWDERED RESIN SLURPJES FOR PCP SOLIDIFICATION In o rde r fo r powde red resin slurry samples to be solidified in acco rdarce with this PCP, these samples must be concentrated to a higher weight percent so lid s.

The simplest, easiest, and most accurate procedure to use is decanting, i.e. pouring off excess liquid until only a thin layer of liquid remains on the settled solids laye r.

Decanting is to be pe rfo rmed after tte sample has been alloed to sit undisturted for te hours. The excess water is then poured off, being careful not to lose arty solids.

If there is rot enough sample to perform the PCP, the procedure is to be repeated until the required quantity is obtained.

If the radiation level of the sample is too high for such handling, a decanting apparatus may be assembled much like that stown in Figure 1.

The materials used depend upon availability and H.P. requirements. This set up wuld allow fo r less plysical handling of the sample by the person perfo rming the test. The decant beaker stould ham the tube located at tre 400 ml.

mark. A two to u r settli ng time is re qui red. At that time, the stopcock (o r clamp) is opened to allow the liquid to drain off of the solids layer.

If mo m than a thin lee r of wate r remains on the settled laye r, tre sample will haw to be decanted as described abo w.

Also, if less than the required slurry quantity results, additional waste must be decanted in the same manner to tie p re scribed anount.

Following this procedure will result in the proper weight percent slurry as required by the PCP.

H.P. requi rements wil1 go we m which of the two procedures stould be used.
