3.5.1.2 No waste should be added to or removed from a batch tank after sampling has been performed.
Should waste be added or removed from the tank prior to completing the solidification of the tank, solidification activities will be secured and the tank placed in the recirculation mode until representative samples are obtained.
3.5.1.3 The radioactive waste tank shall. remain in the recirculation mode during actual solidification operations.
3.5.2-iERIFICATION SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS 3.5.2.1 Solidification sample verification will be performed on each batch of each type radioactive waste until standard cement-to-waste ratios have been developed and proven to produce acceptable products on a minimum of ten consecutive batches.
3.5.2.2 Once the standard ratios have been proven to produce acceptable solidified products for ten consecutive batches of each type radioactive waste, solidification sample verification requirements will be decreased to at least once every tenth batch of each type of radioactive waste.
3.5.2.3 Should any solidification verification sample prove to produce unsatisfactory solidified products, solidification verification sampling requirements will be increased to every batch of each type radioactive waste until the criteria of Step 3.5.2.1.are met.
3.5.3 WASTE IDENTIFICATION 3.5.3.1 3ach verification sample shall be analyzed for the following minimum characteristics:
3.5.3.1.1 011 per procedure CHM-02-450.
3.5.3.1.2 pH per procedure CEEd-02-230.
3.5.3.1.3 Temperature per procedure CHM-02-230.
3.5.3.1.4 Boron content per procedure CHM-02-052 or sodium sulfate per procedures CHM-02-075 and/or CHM-02-110.
3.5.3.1.5 Isotopic analysis per procedure CHM-03-021.

3.5.3.2 The -results of each sample verification will be recorded on the. appropriate sample worksheets.
3.5.3.3-Wastes shall be. classified in accordance with 10CFR61 per procedure HPH-09-501. Each drum shall be identified in accordance with DOT regulations for packaging and transportation of radioactive waste.

-SOLIDIFICATION SAMPLE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
~
3.5.4.1-Visual inspection of the ead product 1after solidification must indicate a free standing, monolithic structure which' meets the free standing water ~ criteria of the appliciable lor level radioactive waste disposal facility.
3.5.4.2 The end product must resist penetration when probed with a spatula or comparable firm object.
3.5.5 SOLIDIFICATION SAMPLE VERIFICATION DOCUMENTATION
'3.5.5.1 Calculate and record all required information on either the concentrates solidification work sheet or the resin solidification worksheet.-
3.5.5.2. The Radwaste-Coordinator or his designee shall inspect and verify the results of each sample verification.
-3.6 PRIMARY CONCENTRATES VERIFICATION
- 3. 6.1 -
Based on the sample analysis, determine the quantities _of calcium hydroxide, calcium chloride, and. lithium hydroxide -
required for satisfactory solidification, Record these quantities on the concentrates solidification worksheet.
3.6.2 Ensure temperature of the waste sample is greater than 140 F.- Record waste sample temperature on the solidification sample verification.
3.6.3 Transfer the waste stream to the disposable container.
Measure and record'pH.-
3.6.4~_
Add the required quantity of calcium hydroxide to the
-wasta sample. Mix for five minutes.
3.6.5 Measure and record pH.
If pH is less thav 10.5.5 add LiOH H O increments of 2 grams until pH is 10.5-.5.
2 Record the additional LiOH H O required to adjust pH.
2 NOTE:
Because of the difference in the quantity of heat of hydration released in the test sample and the full scale solidification, the test sample will not demonstrate the quantity of hardness of the full scale sample.
Rev. 2 1-27 10/84
P
~3.6.6-Mix sample for approximately 1 minute.
3.6.7 Record sample weight and volume on the solidification sample verification form.
3.6.8 Place a lid on the' disposable beaker and allow to stand for a maximum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at 130 F in a convection oven.
'3.6.9 Inspect each sample for. free standing water and product
. integrity.. Record sample results on the solidification sample verification form.
3.6.10 If the solidification sample is satisfactory, determine-the quantities of waste, thumb wheel settings, cement, calcium chloride, and lithium hydroxide.to be placed in each 55 gallon drum and the quantity 'of calcium hydroxide to be placed in the batch tank by performing the calculations described in Section D of the concentrates solidification sample verification form.
3.6.11 If the solidification sample is not satisfactory, adjust the waste: binder ratio (Formula C.4.1.) downward in increments of.5 until a satisfactory sample verification is obtained.
3.6.12 Perform Step 3.6.10.
.3.6.13 Perform -full scale solidification in accordance with the system operating procedure using the boundary parameters recorded in Section D of the concentrates solidification sample verification' form.
-3.7 SOLIDIFICATION OF SPENT ION EXCHANGE RESIN NOTE:
If radiation levels do not permit the verification testing of the actual depleted resin, depleted non-radioactive resin may be used.
'3.7.1 Determine pH, boron content, and resin to water ratio of the resin stream to be solidified and record results on the resin solidification worksheet.
3.7.2 Based on sample analysis results, determine the quantities of cement, calcium chloride, and lithium hydroxide required to obtain a satisfactory solidification. Record these quantities on the resin solidification worksheet.
- 3.7.3 Transfer the required quantity of waste to a disposable container.
3.7.4 Measure and record waste stream temperature.
3.7.5 Add the required quantity of calcium hydroxide to the waste stream. Mix for 5 minutes prior to adding the waste to the disposable container.
