Os be rt Ab I MIXED WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND PROCESSING Julius W. Bryant and Larry D. Evans Nuclear Production Department Duke Power company Charlotte, N.C. 28242 ABSTRACT Waste that is both radioactive and hazardous is regulated by both the NRC and the EPA. Since there are few treatment, storage, or disposal facilities licensed by both these agencies, mixed waste generated at Duke Power Company facilities is stored at the generation site. Processing methods for eliminating this inventory of stored mixed waste are being developed using the limited options available to facilities not possessing a hazardous waste treatment permit. In order to ensure that the above storage and processing is in compliance with EPA requirements, periodic characterization of these mixed wastes is necessary. This paper describes Duke Power Company's mixed waste characterization and processing programs and outlines the results

achieved to date.

INTRODUCTION Mixed waste is low-level radioactive vaste (LLW), as defined in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (LLRWPAA), that also contains constituents that are either a listed hazardous waste or exhibit hazardous characteristics as described in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation 40CFR Part 261. Prior to 1985, mixed waste was generally disposed of just like LLW with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission having regulatory authority. However, during formulation of the LLRWPAA, questions arose as to which agency, the EPA or the NRC, should have regulatory authority over mixed waste. Congress directed these two agencies to administrative 1y resolve the problem. As a result, the F.RC and the EPA issued a joint guidance document that stated the NRC had jurisdiction over the radionuclide portion of the mixed waste while the EPA had authority over the hazardous constituents. With the issuance of the NRC-EPA joint guidance document, a mixed waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) was required to conform to both NRC and EPA regulations.

EPA regulations require that a mixed waste TSDF obtain an EPA

permit and that they characterize their mixed waste to ensure that it can be treated, stored, or disposed of in compliance with the storage permit and EPA regulations. Due to the projected high costs associated with TSDF permits, Duke Power Company has implemented mixed waste characterization and processing programs whose goal is to eliminate any need to maintain these permits by eliminating mixed waste inventories.

The general strategy of the mixed waste processing program is to reduce the concentration of listed hazardous constituents in a ~

mixed waste prior to submitting a delisting petition and to eliminate the hazardous characteristics of a mixed waste (ignitability, toxicity, reactivity, or corrosivity). Testing has begun on the limited processing options available to facilities not possessing an EPA treatment permit. Since these options are not fully developed, Duke Power has obtained hazardous waste storage permits and continues to accumulate mixed wastes at its generation sites.

The characterization program ensures that the storage of mixed waste is done in compliance with the respective facility's storage permit and EPA regulations. In addition, this program provides information necessary to the proper development of the company's mixed waste processing programs.

DISCUSSION Characterization Procram The mixed waste characterization program began with the formation of mixed waste working groups at the Catawba, McGuire, and Oconee Nuclear Stations. These three sites produce all the mixed wastes generated by Duke Power Company. Each working group was comprised of chemistry, radiation protection, and environmental personnel from the stations and the corporate office. The mixed waste working groups were assigned the responsibility for identifying all mixed waste generated at their respective facility and for implementing a characterization program that fulfilled the requirements of 40CFR Part 265.

Each working group's initial action was to identify all LLW generated at their station. Next, each LLW stream was placed into one of the following general classifications:

  • LLW known to be mixed waste because it contains or has contacted a listed hazardous solvent
  • LLW which could be mixed waste because it has the potential to exhibit hazardous characteristics
  • LLW which is not and should never become mixed waste because there is not a reasonable potential that it will become hazardous ,

A Waste Analysis Plan (WAP) was then developed which outlined the

. procedures necessary to ensure that each known or potential mixed waste was characterized as per the requirements of 40CFR Part 265. This WAP provides the following information for each of these vaste streamst

  • the parameters for which the vaste will be analyzed
  • the rationale for the selection of these parameters
  • the sampling methods which will be used to ensure a representative sample of the waste is collected
  • the test methods which will be used to analyze for the selected parameters
  • the frequency with which the analysis of the waste will be repeated
  • the test acceptance criteria After development of the WAP, the known or potential mixed wastes were characterized. The initial characterization results for these known or potential mixed waste streams are shown in Table I and II respectively. Table III lists the LLW which ja not and should never become mixed waste.

equipment and sump sludges

  • Per EPA regulations, empty solvent containers are not subject to regulation as a hazardous waste.
    • At the time of the working group's initial classification, non-soaked absorbents were '

classified as non-hazardous. However, because of a recently issued EPA regulation, solvent containing ,

absorbents are now classified as hazardous. The characterization of these absorbents has yet to be performed.

After completion of the above initial characterizations, process development began for the LLW determined to be mixed waste. These processes are described in the Processing Program section of this paper. Periodic analysis continues on '= LLW listed in Tables I and II at the frequency specified in ; WAP.

Processino Procram The initial characterization of LLW generated at Duke Power facilities identified the mixed wasta currently being generated at Duke Power facilities. Next, development began on methods to process this mixed waste using the limited techniques available to facilities not possessing an EPA treatment permit. The goalHof this process program is to eliminate the need to maintain any EPA related storage permits by eliminating mixed waste inventories. ,

Two general strategies are beir.g employed to achieve this goalt Strategy #1 a involves the submittal of delisting petitions for mixed waste streams that contain or have contacted a listed hazardous solvent. Prior to petition submittal, the concentration of the hazardous solvent in the mixed waste will be reduced as low as possible. -

Strategy #2 - is applicable to a mixed waste that exhibits a hazardous characteristic (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity). Thet>

vastes will be treated in-container to sliminate their hazardous characteristics.

Table l'.' lists the mixed wastes that are currently being ger/ ,d at Duke Power facilities, as identified by the cb - .cerization progrra. In addition, their hazardous properties .

Strategy #2 - render non-hazardous by eliminating hazardouc characteristics. -

2) The initial characterization of LLW classified scintillation cocktail as a listed mixed waste since it contains c. listed hazardous solvent. However, based upon an EPA regulation, the cocktail is _

classified only as characteristic mixed waste (ignitability) since it is not used in a solvent application.

3) cocktail waste containing no gamma-emitting radioactive isotopes was sent to an off site facility for disposal. The remaining cocktail waste was processed using Strategy #2.
4) The acetone based cleaning solution is a listed hazardous waste only because it is ignitable. Based upon an EPA regulation, wastes containing a solvent which is listed solely due to ignitability need only be rendered non-ignitable within 90 days -

of generation to be declared non-hazardous. Neither removal of the listed solvent from the waste nor a delisting petition is required.

Table IV (continued)

5) An alternative option being pursued for mixed waste comprised of oil and listed hazardous solvents is approval from the applicable regulatory agencies for a one time burn of current inventories. Afterwards, an oil and solvent segregation program should prevent the generation of additional amounts of this mixed waste.
6) The tool decon unit waste characterization has not been completed.

Application of Str:tegy #1 to the applicable wastes required an investigation into effective methods for reducing the listed solvent concentrations of these wastes. At this time, no testing has been performed on methods for reducing the listed solvent concentration of the waste oil / solvent mixtures. For the freon related wastes, two methods have been tested - distillction and drying using the heal cycle of the dry cleaners. Neither of these two methods of reclaiming freon require a hazardous waste

. treatment permit. Strategy #2 is being enployed to eliminate the hazardous characteristics associated Lith any of the identified mixed wastes. Generally, these wastes are being solidified with a

- gypsum based sclidification agent. Again, a treatment permit is not required as long as the solidifications are performed in the original waste container within 90 days of the waste generation date.

At this time, the only full scale application of the above process strategies has been on the scintillation cocktail and the reactor coolant pump decon solution. Full scale processing of the remaining mixed wastes was delayed pending the results of bench scale processing of these wastes. The mixed waste processing results achieved thus far are shown in Table V. Testing is in orogress for the identified mixed waste streams f r which no esults are shown.

processing. All other post-processed results were ,

obtained from bench scale process testing. .

5) The solidification of the reactor coolant pump decon solution was done using cement. All other waste solidifications were_ performed using a gypsum based-solidification agent.
6) This wet blast' filters / grit processing was performed on a waste batch that contained only 2.3 ppm Cd. The .

processing of batches containing-Pb and higher levels of Cd is in progress.

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSION The Duke Power characterization program has identified all mixed waste currently being generated at Duke Power facilities.-This program provides for the-periodic characterization of these wastes and ensures that they continue to be stored-and processed in sccordance with the requirements of 40CFR Part 265. >

The ' Duke Power processi_ng program has eliminated two of the identified- mixed- wastes from the companies hazardests. waste storage permits.- scintillation cocktail and~ reactor coolant pump decon solution. The processing of the remaining mixed waste is in-progress and the preliminary results are satisfactory. Based upon these.results, there is a reasonable possibility'that all Duke Power mixed wasteLinventories and-hazardous waste storage permits can be eliminated.

p i r Duke power Company Responses to Waste Management Questions A. Spent fuel questions:

1. Which of the fo11ovin61.1r.,yent techniques for at-reactor storspo are you using and how?

A. Re-racking of spent fuel, h---Centtel M reposittentwsy C. Above ground dry storage, D. Longer fuel burnup. E. Other -(please identify). Essponset Oconeet A. C, and D. Each of Oconee's two spent fuel pools has been raracked twice the current total capacity of the pools is 2129 assemblies. A dry above ground spent fuel storage facility which utilizes the NUROMS 24p syetes has recently been completed, a04 loading of the first canister / module is espected for late July. Righer discharge fuel burnup has occurred over time as a result of economic trends and fuel technology improvements. Equilibrium fuel burnups were espected to be around 47,000 MWD /ME! when the Oconee unito began operation in the early 1970'st currently, discharge burnups are espected to be about 45,000 MWD /MTU. jjeGuiret A and D._ As the result of a single raracking of each of McGuire's two pools, prisent total capacity is 2,719 asunblies. Discharge burnups were espected to be approximately 33,000 MWD /MTU in

                        'the years befors plant startup: currently,-discharge burnups.are aspected te be about 40,000 MWD /MTU.

catawbat E. The initial c.spacity of the two Catawba spent fuel pools totals 2840 fuel assemblies, which provides adequate storage until about 2008.

2. Do you plen on continuing the use of chose current techniques for at-reactor storage of spent fuel during the remaining time of your operat-ing license or do you expect to change or modify them in some way?

Responses-General cossent: Significantly higher burmups are not presently anticipated for any of Duke's stations. Oconee Oconee's ISFSI license allows addition of enough NUHOMS modules to provid. storage until the expiration of the current operating license. 2013.

I i ,

5. Do you anticipate the need to acquire additional land for the storage of spent-fuel for the operating lifetime of the plant, including a 20-year period of license renewalf If to, how much land? When would this acquisition occur? Vberet (if answer is "yes", 3-4 sentences)

Response

Deonna No. HeCuire No. Catsuba No.

6. Do you anticipate any additional construction activity on-site, or immediately adjacent to the power plant site, associated with the continued at-reactor storage of spent fuel for the operating lifetime of the plant, including a 20-year period of license renewa17 (yes/no)

Response

Oconee: Yes. McGuire Yes, if above ground dry storage is chosen for storage expansion. Ca tawb_a : Yes, if above ground dry storage is chosen for storage expansion.

7. If you answered yes to question 6 briefly describe this construction activity (e.g., expansion of fuel storage pool, building above ground dry storage facilities)

Response

Oconeet Up to the end of current licensed life: activity will involve additiota of horirontal storage modules. St O wrse, periodic evaluations will be made to ensure that continued use of the existing dry storage system represents our best alternative.) Should additional dry storage be required, expansion of the aristing facility or construction of another on-site facility would be considered. McGuire: See response to question 6. l Catswba See response to question 6.

WASTE MANAGEMENT QUE3TIONS (cont.) continued at reactor storage of spent fuel for the operating lifetime of the plant, including a W year period of license renewal? (yes/no)

7. If you answered yes to question 6, briefly describe this construction activity (e.g., expansion of fuel storage pool, building above ground dry storage facilities)

B. Low-level radioactive waste management questions:

1. Under the current scheme for LLRW disposal (i.e. LLRW Policy Amendments Act of 1985 and regional compacts) is there currently or will sufficient capacity for wastes generated during the license rer.ewal period be available to your plant (s)? If so, what is the basis for this conclusion? net,jf htc5EMT PL4dJ T6A 60uTM E4sTOep MF Fmuro,
          $      If for any reason your plant (s) is/are denied access to a licensed disposal site for a short period of time, what plans do you have for continued LLRW disposal? ggg 41TW%ENT             'l.

3. In a couple of pages, please describe the specific methods of LLRW management currently utilized by your plant. What percentage of your current LLRW (by volume) is managed by:

See ervAcmear3L A. Waste compaction? B. Wast's segregation (through special controls or segregation at radiation check point)? C. Decontamination of wastes? D. Sorting of waste prior to shipment? E. Other(pleaseidentify) l . NUMARC Page 3

l WASTE MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS (cont.) p To provide information on future low level waste streams which may effect workforce levels, exposure, and waste compact planning, do you anticipate any major plant modifications or refurbishment that are likely to generate unusual volumes of low level radioactive waste prior to, or during, the relicensing period for the plant? If so, please describe these activities. Also, what types of modifications do you anticipate to be necessary to achieve license renewal operation through a 20 year license renewal tern? 6u Amtucar I. C. Mixed low level radioactive waste question: a.

1. If your plant generates mixed LLRW, how is it currently being stored and what plans do you have for managing this waste during the license renewal period?

There is a large selection of process methods available and the choices must reflect consideration of the following factors; waste stream characteristjes, site specific environmental limitations, compatibility with interfacing systems, materials handling and storage requirements, transportation limitations, state and federal regulations, burial site requirements, permanent versus transportable systems, future requirements, personnel exposure, and economics. Generally, radwaste volume reduction technologies reduce volumes by removing the non-radioactive components of the waste streams the volume reduction processes alter only the non-radiological material content while the total radioactivity present remains the same.

   .This paper-discusses the vaste types and generation rates, the waste processing typically used by PWRs and BWRs, volume reduction, and the economics of waste disposal.                  The waste streams which power reactors process are gases, liquids and solids.

The basic function of the radwaste systems are to:

GASES During operation, nuclear power reactors generate radioactive fission products, a portion of which will be released to the coolant when there are cladding defects. Because gases are not completely soluble withia the coolant, they are available for release from process systems and ventilation pathways. Process system effluents contain radioactive materials as a result of stripping or venting gases from process streams. Ventilation pathways contain radioactive materials as a result of radioactive process fluid leakage into buildings and their ventilation systems. The sources of gaseous effluents in PWRs and BWRs are different and are listed below: BWR

1) main condenser evacuation system
2) turbine gland seal system
3) mechanical vacuum pump exhaust

beds must be replaced when they are no longer effective for removing radioactive material from the liquid. The filters and ion exchange beds are solid by-products and, therefore, become part of the solid waste streams discussed below. Filtration is defined as the separation of suspended, undissolved, particulate solids from a fluid mixture by passage of most of the fluid through a septum or membrane that retains  : the so2 ids on or within itself. A filter's performance is i maarated by its ability to remove and hold solid stream - c0ncaminants, by the amounts of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes it generatest by its ease of operations by its maintenance requirements; and by the radiation exposures it causes during operation and maintenance. Filters used in nuclear power plants are changed most often on the basis of pressure drop across the filter, or because the radioactive dose rate of the filter reaches a predetermined upper limit. The degree of filtration required chemical compatibility of the filter medium with the slurry being processed; the weight, volume, and particle-size , distribution of the solids to be removed; and the suspended , solids concentration, volume flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the stream to be processed are among the factors that should be considered in the selection of a filter. In LWR nuclear poder plants, the liquid streams have various amounts of dissolved plus suspended solids and varying amounts of radioactivity associated with them, depending upon their source within the plant. Corrosion products in the coolant stream become activated in the internals of the reactor cores relatively significant fractions (about one-fourth) of the activated corrosion products tend to be present as suspended solidst fission products to be present dominantly as soluble forms. Traditionally, BWRs have, for the most part, used pressure-pre-coat filters, while PWRs have largely used disposable-cartridge filters. However, newer types such as nonpre-cost, back-flushable filters are seeing greater. application in both types of plants. Disposable cartridge filters contain from o = to several replaceable elements that are discarded when they L .ome contaminated or loaded to the extent that either the radioactive dose rate or the dif ferential pressure across the filter reaches'a preset value. In nuclear power plant applications, multiple elements are often mounted in a single removable supporting structure and, to minimize radiation  : exposure,--the entire assembly is discarded at changeout. Disposable elements used in nuclear power plants typically have filter media of woven fabric, wound fiber (string), or pleated paper, supported on a rigid inner core of perforated tainless steel. Cotton, nylon, and epoxy-impregnated paper a among the materials commonly used in fabrication of disposable cartridges for nuclear power plants. Disposable cartridge filters perform well in removing suspended solids from the process streoms of nuclear power plants. Difficulty of remote changeout is probably

4 t impurities must be solidified by mixing with cement or by mixing with a liquid plastic and, therefore, become part of the solid waste streams discussed below. It is a unit operation that has wide application in the nuclear industry for reducing wasta volumes and the amount of radioactive nuclides in liquid effluents. Evaporation can be used on solutions or s.turries having vastly different compositions and concentrations; however, it is most effectively used or. liquid radioactive wastes having high concentrations of impurities. An evaporator is a device designed to transfer heat to a liquid that boils and to separate the vapor thus formed from the 11guld. A radioactive waste evaporator system consists basically of the following building blocks: a heating element; a flash chambers one or more deentrainment devices to separate or disengage liquid droplets from the vaport a condenser to cool and convert the vapor back to liquid; and pumps as required to feed the system, to circulate the contents where forced circulation is employed, and to discharge the concentrated liquid (bottoms). Liquid radioactive wastes in a BWR plant are normally segregated into four types as follows: 1) High-purity waste is a liquid of low electrical conductivity but has the potential of containing some particulate solids and dissolved oils. Major sources of high-purity waste are equipment drains from the dry well and the reactor, turbine, and radioactive waste buildings; ultrasoric resin cleaner wash; resin backwash and transfer water; filter backwash; phase separator decant liquid; and condensed radioactive evaporator overheads. 2) Low-purity waste is liquid of moderate to high conductivity and has the potential for high suspended and/or dissolved solida content. Sources of low-purity waste include floor drains from the dry well and reactor, turbine, and radioactive waste buildings; uncollected valve and pump seal leakoffs; and water resulting from dewatering of slurry wastes.

3) Chemical waste is liquid of a high conductivity and high suspended and dissolved solids content. The primary source of this waste is the regenerant solution from deep-bed ion exchange columns. 4) Detergent waste is liquid with a high suspended solido and organic chemicals content. Major sources of detergent waste are on-site laundry, personnel shower, and detergent-type decontamination vastea 9 well as laboratory wash water.

Liquid radioactive wastes in a PWR plant may be segregated into four types as follows: 1) Miscellaneous waste is composed of liquid having varicus qualities from a variety of sources which may not be readily amenable to processing and reuse as reactor coolant make-up water. The main sources of miscellaneous vaste are floor drains; outdoor controlled-areas wastes; sampling station radioactive vastes; aerated systems and equipment drains; and primary system ion-exchange and filter wastes. 2) Secondary l system waste is liquid of low electrical conductivity from the secondary system. Primary sources of such vaste are most.y steam generator blow-down and turbine building drains. 3) chexacal 1 i

Structural stability can be provided by the vaste form itself, processing the wasto to a stable form, or placing the waste in a disposal container (also called a High Integrity Container or HlC) or structure that provides stability after disposal. A Process Control Program (PCP) is a systematic procedure tor providing reasonable assurance that the solidified product will have no detectable free liquid. It consists of two parts. The first part is a set of bounding values for system and waste parasoters within which satisfactory solidification can be expected to occur with a high degree of confidencu. The second part of the PCP is a systematic procedura using appropriate controls and instrumentation, properly documented, to demor that the solidification system has operated within the sped boundaries. The complexity of radwaste treatment systems is increased when each vaste stream requires different processing. Typical radvaste treatment systems are shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4 for PWRs and BWRs with two different reactor cleanup systems. Some of the waste ;cocessing techniquee previously discussed are also volume reduction techniques. Duke Power Company has chosen volume reduction techniques based on our studies of each vaste source. Several volume reduction techniques are applied to each waste stream. The Volume Reduction (VR) techniques used for each waste type are listed in the Table. The techniques can be summarized as follows: A) Source Control is exerted by a carefully designed system of administrative controls, administrative procedures and practices, and operating procedures to limit the waste beinc generated. The program is extensive and complex, since it requires awareness and procedure adherence by up to 2500 people working on a given reaccor site. The system of controls is outlined in two papers presented by Duke Power personnel at the Waste Management '85 Meeting held in l Tucson, Arizona; the papers describe " Liquid Waste i Minimization Efforts" and " Solid Waste Minimization Efforts" I at Duke Power Coupany. The papers are attached. Each station and contractor employee must be aware of his responsibility for minimizing the generation of waste. The program includes employee training programs, supervisor accountability, vasta source control at each generating point or location, vaste segregation, manual sorting, leak detection surveillance, leak isolation and repair, and routing of each waste to the proper waste system collection vessel. One example of source volume control is in the issuance of warehouse supplies. Packing materials such as crates or l l i

D) Large compactors are used for compressing paper, plastic, and similar materials into metal boxes for shipment and disposal. This process follows the sorting and segregation processes in the source control proceef described above. DAW volume reduction of 50 percent at oconee produced the disposal volumes for this waste type as listed in the Table. Labor costs were reduced by a factor of five by eliminating the time-consuming use of 55-gallon drums. Further volume reduction can be achieved by supercompaction. It is not cost effective to install this equipment at each reactor site so a service facility is used to provide supercompaction. In 1988, this facility accepted approximately J00,000 ft3 of waste for supercompaction and shipped 150,000 ft3 after processing. E) Combustible vaates are generally large volumes with low bulk densities, and with talatively low specific activities. They are chemically rwither inert nor stable, and are susceptible to organic decompcaition, oxidation, and degradation by the effact of elements. These combustible wastes can be processed by incineration. Incineration converts combustible wastes into radioactive ashes and residues that are nonflammable, chemically inert, and much more homogeneous than the intital waste. Since ashes ace dispersable in the air, immobilization or encapsulation is normally required for their safe transportation and disposal. The principal objectives in the design of an incineration system for processing of radioactive wastes ares complete c:nbustion of the waste; appropriate off-gas cleaning; and radiological protection. The radioactive waste incinerator must be radiologically safe and positively contain radioactivity within the incineration system. An incineration system for processing of radioactive wastes consists basically of: waste feed preparation and loading facilities; a combustion chamber (s); an off-gas treatment system including induced draft fan (s) and a stack; ash unloading equipment) and necessary instrumentation and controls. Ash transfer and/or immobilization equipment normally interfaces with the ash unloading equipment. F) Evaporators are used to process pure reactor liquids such that both the concentrate and water can be reused in the reactor systems. Tritium and boric acid discharges from the station are reduced as a result of such reuse. G) Equipment and floor drainage liquids are processed for radioactivity removal and released from the station using filtration and ion exchange resin. This technology has

4 such as contaminated trash, settling basin solids, fuel racks, and insulation. The establishment of BRC levels for these type materials will eliminate approximately 20 percent of the waste we are currently disposing of with no additional risk to public health 2nd safety. The other phase of our plan will use vendor supplied process equf.pment to reduce radvaste volumes. .offsite vendor decontamination facilities are used for large items or unusual waste volumes generated by modifications to existing equipment. Offsite super compaction and incineration facilities reduce the volume of waste to be buried while concentrating the radioactivity. Vandor supplied incitaration and decontamination i facilities cor ce used most cost effectively as regional

            'facilition whero wastes from many generators are processed.

Since 1982, radwaste volumes hav6 been drastically reduced by the use of ion exchange resin for liquid waste processing, improved tool and equipnent decontamination technology and improved compaction. An increase of dedicated perscnnel assigned to radwaste management functions, and more effective administrative co?trols which make each worker responsible for the waste that he generates. Tne volume.s of waste generated as a result of th6se efforts decreased from the 36,046 cubic feet per year per unit to 5,194 cubic feet per year per unit at Oconee. To date, Duke Power has invested $820 million in radwaste processing facilities at three sites fer seven reactors. operating and maintenance costs, inciuding che cost of disposal, are $11.4 million per year. Dirposal costs are about 10% of the OLM costs. A point of diminishing returns will soon be reached whereby further r expenditures to reduce the volume of waste gent. rated will no - longer be economical. Duke Power and othLr utilities are already reducing the volume of

              ~tation vastes 96-98%. This reduction i: 'ne result of a three io four-fold reducticn of waste sources cor>ined with an overall process volume reduction of 30-40. Further volume reduction, will rhise the cost,of electricity to our customers.

R. M. Propst and B. L. Norris Nuclear Production Department Duke Power Company Charlotte, North Caroline 28242 ABSTRACT West liquid redweste processing systems are designed for "everage" oeste processing rates. Unfortunately, weste is not generated at this everage rete but et varied rates which can overload the cepecity of the systems. When the weste systems are overloeded, tLt operation of the entire power plant con be adversely ef f ected. Duke Poeor has established a liquid redweste minfolgation program designed to detresse loads on nonrecyclable weste stresa process systems and to provide sufficient process cepecity to handle the peak input rates in each weste stroom. Elements of the program inclutet vaste source segregation, rectemation, eliminetton, chemical control, leek detection, and the volume reduction of process system byproducts. Esemples are given for each eliminating of these program high-selles, elements. A verlety of techniques era used in reducing or high-redlosctivity, and high-voluwe sources of weste which can overleed ssste systems and/or produce high volumes of byproducts for disposal.

Charlotte, N. C. 2F242 ABSTRACT As more nuclear stettons come ca line, Duke is faced with the fact of lacreasing solid weste volumes and lacreasing burial site rates. In en attempt to reduce these volumes, stutles were conducted to quantify and quellfy " solid weste". As each component weste type was identified, e volume reduction scheme was developed to andress specific veste forms. The schemes uses include administrative controls, equipment purchese and building ep41tlestion, and requests for regulatory emosptions.

kCN M6M L. ko s b ru b% MIXED WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND PROCESSING Julius W. Bryant and Larry D. Evans Nuclear Production Department Duke Power Company Charlotte, N.C. 28242 ABSTRACT Waste that is both radioactive and hazardous is regulated by both

   .the NRC and the EPA. Since there are few treatment, storage, or disposal facilities licensed by both these agencies, mixed waste generated at Duke Power Company facilities is stored at the aaneration site. Processing methods for eliminating this Inventory of stored mixed waste are being developed using the limited options ava;1able to facilities not possessing a hazardous waste treatment permit. In order to ensure that the above storage and processing is in compliance with EPA requirements, periodic characterization of these mixed wastes is necessary. This paper describes Duke Power Company's mixed waste characterization and processing programs and outlines the results achieved to date.

INTRODUCTION Mixed waste is low-level radioactive vaste (LLW), as defined in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (LLRWPAA), that also contains constituents that are either a listed hazardous vaste or exhibit hazardous characteristics as described in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation 40CFR Part 261. Prior to 1985, mixed waste was generally disposed of just like LLW with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission having regulatory authority. However, during formulation of the LLRWPAA, questions arose as to which agency, the EPA or the NRC, should have regulatory authority over mixed waste. Congress directed these two agencies to administratively resolve the problem. As a result, the NRC and the EPA issued a joint guidance document that stated the NRC had-jurisdiction over the radionuclide portion of the mixed waste while the EPA had authority over the hazardous constituents. With the issuance of the NRC-EPA joint guidance document, a mixed waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) was required to conform to both NRC and EPA regulations. EPA regulations require that a mixed waste TSDF obtain an EPA permit and that they characterize their mixed waste to ensure that it can be treated, stored, or disposed of in compliance with the storage permit _and EPA regulations. Due to the projected high costs associated with TSDF permits, Duke Power Company has implem2nted mixed waste characterization and processing programs whose goal is to eliminate any need to maintain these permits by eliminating mixed waste inventories.

A.Wasta Analysis Plan (WAP) was then developed which outlined the procedures necessary to ensure that each known or potential mixed waste was characterized as per the requirements of 40CFR Part 265. This WAP provides the following information for each of these waste streams:

  • the parameters for which the vaste will be analyzed
  • the rationale for the selection of these parameters
  • the sampling methods which will be used to ensure a representative sample of the waste is collected
  • the test methods which will be used to analyze for the selected parameters
  • the frequency with which the analysis of the waste will be repeated
  • the test acceptance criteria After development of the WAP, the known or potential mixed wastes were characterized.-The initial characterization results for these known or potential mixed waste streams are shown in Table I and II respectively. Table III lists the LLW which is not and should never become mixed waste.

i , Two general strategies are_being employed to achieve this goal: Strategy #1 - involves the submittal of delisting petitions for mixed waste streams that contain or have contacted a listed ,tazardous solvent. Prior to petition rubmittal, the concentration of the hazardous solvent in the mixed waste will be reduced as low as possible. Strategy #2 - is applicable to a mixed waste that exhibits a hazardous characteristic (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity). These wastes will be treated in-container to eliminate their hazardous characteristics. Table IV lists the mixed wastes that are currently being generated at Duke Power facilities, as identified-by the characterization program. In addition, their hazardous properties and the general processing strategies to be applied to these mixed wastes are provided.

5) An alternative option being pursued for mixed waste comprised of oil and listed hazardous solvents is approval from the applicable regulatory agencies for a one time burn of current inventories. Afterwards, an oll and solvent segregation program should prevent the generation of additional amounts of this mixed waste.
6) The tool decon unit waste characterization has not been completed.

Application of Strategy #1 to the applicable wastes required an investigation into effective matheds for reducing the listed solvent concentrations of these wastes. At this time, no testing has been performed on methods for reducing the listed solvent concentration of the waste oil / solvent mixtures. For the freon relata4 wastes, two methods have baan tested - distillation and drying using the heat cycle of the dry cleaners. Neither of these t s two methods of reclaiming freon require a hazardous waste 4 treatrent permit. Strategy #2 is peing employed to eliminate tho hazardous characteristics associated with any of the identified mixed wastes. Generally, these vastes are being solidified with a gypsum based solidification agent. Again, a treatment permit is not required as long as the solidifications are performed in the original waste container within 90 days of the waste generation date. At this time, the only full scale application of the above process strategies has been on the scintillation cocktail and the reactor coolant pump decon solution. Full scale processing of the remaining mixed wastes was delayed pending the results of bench scale processing of these wastes. The mixed waste processing results achieved thus far are shown in Table V. Testing is in progress for the identified mixec waste streams for which no results are shown.

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSION

             - The Duke Power : characterization. program has identified all mixed
             -waste currently being generated at Duke Power facilities. This
             -program provides for the periodic characterization of these wastes and ensures that they continue to be stored.and processed Jin.accordance_with the requirements of 40CFR Part 265.

The- Duke Pcwor -processing program has eliminated two of the identified mixed wastesufrom the companies hazardous waste storage : permits .- - scintillation cocktail and ~ reactor coolant - pump decon solution. The-processing of the remaining mixed waste is in _progressLand the preliminary;results:are satisfactory.
