4 Excerpts from Shoreham's Solid Waste Process Control Program O
1437 C PDR I
1.0 PURPOSE The Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS) Process Control Program (PCP) describes the administrative and process controls which provide reasonable assurance of a consistent quality radioactive waste product which is acceptable for shipment and burial.
Implementation of this PCP will:
o Provide assurance that waste types produced at SNPS will be classified satisfactorily in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 61, o
Provide assurance that the requirements of 10 CFR 61 and specific disposal site criteria for Class A unstable waste to be solidified are met by the use of a mobile solidification system supplied by a qualified contractor.
When additional sample solidification data becomes available, this PCP will be modified to demonstrate the qualification of the in-house solidification system that may be used, in addition to a mobile solidification system supplied by a qualified contractor, for processing of Class A unstable waste.
o Provide assurance that the waste form stability requirements of 10.CFR 61 for Class B and C wastes are met.
This will be accomplished through the use of a mobile solidification system supplied by a qualified contractor or use of approved High Integrity Containers (HICs).
Until such tima as the contractor's Topical Report has been approved by the NRC, qualification will be based on the contractor's past record of producing acceptable BWR waste packages for waste streams similar to those produced at SNPS.
The contracter's Process Control Programs are referenced in the " Mobile-Service Contractor Documents" Section of this document.
SNPS management shall ensure that the contractor's waste processing operations are performed in acccrdance with procedures, o
Provide assurance that dewatered Class A, B or C waste products meet the applicable burial site criteria for free standing water when-_the in-house or_ contractor's dewatering equipment and procedures are used, o
Provide assurance that the processing and packaging of solid radioactive wastes meet the requirements of federal and state regulations and disposal site criteria.
o Ensure that the quality assurance requirements delineated in 10 CFR 71.101, 71.103 and 71.105 are met for both in-house and mobile contractor processing.
2.0 RADIOACTIVE WASTE SOURCES Low-level radioactive wastes are producedLas a result of routine plant operation and maintenance of plant systems.
The major contributing sources of radioactive waste are listed below:
Evaporator Bottoms Floor Drain Filter Radwaste Filter Spent Resin Tank (SRT)
Cartridge Filters Trash Compactor Mobile Filter and/or Demineralizer 3.0 RADIOACTIVE WASTE STREAMS Evaporator Bottoms Concentrates Spent Resin Tank Waste Funda Filter Generated Waste Floor Drain Filter Generated Waste Dry Active Waste (DAW)
Filter Cartridges Radioactively Contaminated Liquids and-Solids Mobile Filter and/or Demineralizer Waste 4.0 IN-HOUSE SOLIDIFICATION-SYSTEM SNPS has a permanently installed Atcor radioactive waste solidification system which, when additional test data is available, may be used to package either radioactive evaporator-bottoms or resins / sludges for disposal as Class A waste.
Until that time, all wastes for solidification will be transferred to the contractor's mobile equ.pment.
4 5.0 IN-HOUSE DEWATERING As an alternative to solidification, Class A, B, and C dewaterable waste may be dewatered in High Integrity Containers (HIC).
Non-high integrity containers can be used for Class A waste.
All of-these' containers are equipped with internal filters to which a pump may be attached.
Pumping continues until burial site criteria for free standing non corrosive liquid are met as described in SP R3.710.02.
e 3-
6.0-MOBILE SOLIDITICATION, DEWATERING, FILTRATION AND DEMINERALIZATION SERVICES Wastes to be solidified must be transferred to the mobile solidification / dewatering equipment which is provided and operated by a qualified contractor.
Class A, B or C dewatered wastes may be processed by the mobile services contraccor or the in-house dewatering system at the discretion of the Radwaste Engineer.
Class A solidified wastes may be processed by the contractor or by the in-house solidification system after qualification is completed.
The mobile filtration and demineralization system may be operated by either contractor or properly trained SNPS Radwaste Operators.
7.0 SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS CONTROL PARAMETER DETERMINATION i
When additional samples have been tested for solidification, this section will contain a summary of-qualification test results for the in-house solidification system.
During the interim, the in-house system will not be used to solidify waste for shipment offsite.
8.0 SOLIDIFICATION AND DEWATERING PRODUCT CONTROL Sampling and Analysis Conditioning Batch Test solidification Waste Classification Container Control Decontamination Changes to the Process Control Program Any changes'to the Solid Waste Process Control Program for the-Shoreham Nuclear Power Station shall be reviewed and found acceptable by the Review of Operations Committee and approved by the Plant Manager and reported to the NRC in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
