1 1.0 PURPOSE ,

1.1 The purpose of this Process Control Program for the l Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station is to establish a set of l process parameters which provide reasonable assurance that ~

the packaged radioactive wastes meet applicable Department j of Transportation (DOT), Nuclear Regulatory Commission '

(NRC), and South Carolina State regulations for shipment and offsite burial at an approved site. Additionally, i reasonable assurance is provided that the acceptance criteria of said burial facility are met.

I 2.0 SCOPE 2.1 This Process Control Program shall be used by all personnel for the packaging of low level radioactive wastes. This program includes Chem-Nuclear Systems Incorporated (CNSI). personnel operating CNSI supplied equipment.

2.2 This Peocesa Control Program is applicable to all " Wet I!

Wastes" (such as evaporator concentrates, spent resins, etc.) and all wastes classified as Class B and Class C

., (in accordance with 10 CPR61) which are to be disposed of in a radioactive waste, land disposal site.
