Purpose and Need Applicants currently own and are constructing the Susque-hanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna SES), pursuant to Constructio'n Permit Nos. CPPR-101 and CPPR-102.
The Susquehanna SES is located about eight kilometers (5 miles) northeast of Berwick, Pennsylvania, and consists of two 1050 MWe boiling water reactor (BUR) units.
Applications for operating licenses for these units were docketed July 20, 1978.
(Docket Nos. 50-387 and 50-388)
In view of current uncertainties over the near term avail-ability of disposal sites, Applicants seek authorization to store on the Susquehanna SES site LLRW in a Low-Level Radio-active Waste Holding Facility (LLRWHF).
The facility will have the capacity to temporarily store LLRW to be generated from up to four reactor-years per unit of operation.
Permanent retention of those wastes in this facility is not planned.
The waste to be temporarily stored is only that L__
- LLRW incidental to the operation of the Susquehanna SES.
\\
Acceptance of any off-site generated wastes for storage in
( ~'~~ this facility is not contemplated.
=4.
Descrintion of Material to be Stored The LLRWHF is designed to store dry, active waste and dewatered, solidified (cement) waste generated by the Susquehanna SES.
The dry, active waste will include contaminated paper, trash, clothing, small equipment and filters.
The solidified waste will include wet, dewatered waste in the form of evaporator bottoms, resins, and sludges that have been immobilized in cement and contain less than 0.5 percent free standing water.
The facility may also be used to temporarily store large pieces of contaminated plant equipment.
5.
Environmental Assessment Impacts to the general public from storage of LLRW in the LLRWHF will be substantially less than applicable limits and insignificant in comparison with natural background radia-tion doses.
An environmental assessment of the operation of the LLRWHF at the Susquehanna SES site is provided in Attach-ment 1.

6.
Safety Analysis The control or mitigation of the consequences of postulated failures or accidents arising out of storage of LLRW in the LLRUHF is discussed in-the attached safety analysis of the operation of the LLRUHF (Attachment 2).
i 7.
Radiation Protection Radiation control and protection for operation of the LLRWHF will be maintained in accordance with Susquehanna SES Plant
' Administrative and Operating Procedures.
The radiation
~
-protection program is described in detail in the attached Section 12.5 of the Susquehanna SES Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) (Docket Nos. 50-387, July 20, 1978).
(Attachment 3)..
The qualification, training and experience of the Radiation Protection Officer and his alternates are provided in Attachment 4.
Individuals working with radioactive materials are to be designated by the Radiation Protection Officer or his alternate and shall, as a minimum, have experience as gained by successfully completing the Radiation Protection Training program as outlined in Attachment 5.
8.
Quality Assurance To assure the LLRUHF will perform its intended function, the design, procurement, construction, installation, inspection and testing of this facility will be controlled by a Quality t
Assurance Plan. provides a table of systems, equipment and structures of the LLRUHF to which the Quality Assurance Plan is applied.
Sufficient records will be identifiable and retrievable to furnish evidence that the Quality Assurance Plan is implemented.
9.
Operations identifies appropriate operational activities which will be controlled by procedures during the operation of the LLRWHF.
Sufficient records will be identifiable and retrievable to
. furnish evidence that the operational procedures have been implemented.
