Dear Mr. Turk:

I enclose for NRC review and requested execution a cer- .

tificate of pollution control facilities related to.. Unit ~3 of--

the Waterford Steam Electric Generating Station .in Taf t,._ _ _

Louisiana. The format is based on past NRC certifications of--

this type related to other facilities.

Please address any questions you may have regarding this matter and return the executed certificate .to me. .It. is. hoped.

that the certificate could be completed.and returned.by.May-31, 1984, however, if this : schedule cannot be met, please advise promptly.

Sincerely, Y. NA,h.

CERTIFICATE UNIT 3 (NUCLEAR) WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITIES__ __, ,

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the NRC) hereby certifies as follows:

(a) that it has examined Exhibit A attached hereto which is entitled " General Description of the Facilities"~and which describes certain facili-ties which have been constructed, are under con-struction or are to be constructed at the Unit 3 (Nuclear) Waterford Steam Electric Generating Station, a nuclear electric power generating plant located in St. Charles Parish at Taft, Louiniana, which plant is owned by Louisiana Power & Light Company; and (b ) that such facilities, as designed, are in furtherance of the purpose of abating or con-trolling atmosphere pollutants or contaminants or water pollutants resulting from the generation of electricity at the Unit 3 (Nuciaar) Waterford Steam. Electric Generating Station.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission l

b CENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITIES Exhibit A STEAM CENERATOR__3LOWDOVN VASTE TREA" MENT SYSTEM , ,, ., , _ .

The steam generator blowdown vaste treatment system processes and:---

treats effluent from the steam generator blevdovu system through electremagnetic filters to remove magnetic corrosion particles and..

danineralizers to remove dissolved solids prior to effluent discharge to the environment.

The system consists of that portfou of the steam generator blevdown system that is for cleanup of regeneration and filter flush vastes, including the regenerative vaste tank, the filter flush tank, the acid storage tank, the caustic storage tank, and associated pucps, pipingg _:

viring and instrumentation.

CONDENSATE POLISHER VASTE TREATMENT _ SYSTEM _,,,_ _ ,, _ _ ,, ,,

The condensate polisher vaste treatment system disposes of demineralizar filter backwash from the condensate polishing.nystemarc --

The backwash treatment equipment will process backwash water:-

containing spent resins, corrosion products and particulates. The system consists of the backwash transfer pump, the devatering filter, the holding.

tank, the backwash recovery pump, the polishing filter, the polishingr _ _

filter drain pump, the fluffing pump, the treated water backwash storage -

tank and associated piping, viring, sump pumper, motors and .instrumentationn LIQUID RADI0 ACTIVE VASTE TREATMENT SYSTDi ... . . ....._..

The liquid radioactive vaste treatment system processes and disposes of liquid radiological effluents to maintada plant discharges at ALARA (as lov as reasonably achievable) levels, in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. The liquid radioactive vaste treatment system is comprised : -

of three subsystems: the low level liquid vasta subsystem, the baron management subsystem and the laundry waste management. system .which are described below.

Low Level Liquid Vaste Sub_ system: _ . _ , _ , ,

The lov level liquid vaste subsystem collects potentially radioactive liquids from various plant systems and processes and treats them to remove both radioactive and nouradioactive contamination prior to discharging the effluent to the environment.

This subsystem includes the auxiliary boiler, two vaste i batching tanks, the oil filter and separator, the vaste filter, the vaste concentrator, the vaste condensate ion exchanger, the vaste condensate tank and associated pumps, drives, piping, viring, drains, sumps, instrumentation and.

radiation monitoring equipment.

.=

l l

Boron Management Subsystee: , , , ,

The baron management subsystem removes borou and low level radioactivity from reactor coolant blevdown thereby reducing -

the concentration of boron discharged to within applicable _

regulatory limits.

The system consists of the reactor drain tank, the equip-ment drain tank, the flash tank, the holdup tank, the boric acid.

precondensate filters and ion exchangers, boric acid concentrators. the boric acid condensate ion exchangeret. boric..r. .

acid condensate tanka. heat tracing. thermal insulation. . .

Laundry Waste Management Subsystes: , , , , , , , , , _ , , , , , , , _ , , , , , .

The laundry waste management subsystem collects, treats.and.

disposes of liquid detergent vastes from the laundry.. laundry ..

sump, contaminated showers and sinks, and the chemistry laboratory dishwasher, ,

This system includes the laundry waste tanks and . filter, ..

piping, pumps, motors and associated electrical and mechanical. :: ...

equipment.

CASEOUS VASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The gaseous vaste management system collects, stores, samples .anda -

monitors and disposes of potentially radioactive gaseous. waster generated.".=r _-- -

during normal plant operations. This system insures..that. releases.of_

radioactive materials are ALARA, in accordance with.10.C7R 50 . Appendir .I. _ _ ..

The system consists of the gas surge tank. the vaste gas decayu tanka, the vaste gas compressors, the gas analyzer.s,; filters.. fans..and related: :...

piping, wiring, instrumentation and radiation monitoring equipment.= r...

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM _,_.

The solid r-iste management system prepares solid vastes for disposal "-

and storage. Thitt .ystem is comprised of the following subsystemee :tha .. ..

solid waste subsystem, the resin vaste management -subsystem.. the compactor.. c-:

building and storage pad. the hot machine shop /decontaminatfore station and hot =====..

laundry. The systen processes, packages and stores high activity liquid and:

solid radioactive vastes and low activity solid radioactive vastes priorrtom.:------

shipment for offsite burial. Th( wastee processed through this system include ..

vaste concentrator bottone, spent ion exchange resine. used filter .cartridgeer=.: _

and miscellaneous refuse (dry active vaste).

Solid Waste Subsystem:

The solid waste subsystem treats waste concentrates and chemical wastes from the vaste and boric acid concentrators ande....

the chemical waste tank.

Solid Waste _Subsysteur (Continued)

The subsystem consists of a concentrate storage tank.and metering pump and associated piping, pumps, viring and instrumentation.

Resin Veste knagement Subsystem _,, _ , , , _ , , , ,

The resin vaste management subsystem treats spent.

radioactive ion exchanger resin from the various process deafneralisers. Resin vastes are collected, stored sud transferred to the portable solidification system.

The subsystem includes the spent resin tank and transfer pump, the spent resin sampling system and control panel.and. .

associated piping, pumps, wiring and instrumentation.

Compactor Eutiding and Storage Pad: , , _ , _ , _ ,

Th6 compactor building houses equipment for the sorting and packaging of dry active waste (aiacellaneous contaminated . refuse 2.:r.-

such as protective clothing, gloves, paper and boxes) ' The interia radwaste storage pad provides a secure area for the retention and storage of processed radweste uutti an off-stte disposal site is ave 11able.

The major equipment in the Compactor Building consists of the granulator (shredding eachfue), compactor, sorting cabinets, a forklift, platform scale and air filtration equipment.

Not b ehine_ Shop / Decontamination Sta_ti_on:

The Hot hchina 5 hop / Decontamination Station provides facilities to decontaminate and repair tools and system components which have become radioactively contaminated wbfla in use in the Plant. Equipment located in the Hot k ehine Shop includes lathes, a drill press, milling machines, a valve lapping machine, grinders, a radial drill and a power saw. The Decontamination Station is equipped with an ultrasonic cleaning assembly, a spray booth and associated apparatus, rinse tanks, a work bench, fume hoods, a radiation monitor, and monorails for I looving heavy equipment.

Hot Laundry:

{

The Hot Laundry, located in the Reactor Auxiliary Building, provides onsite facilitfe's'to launder contaminated protective clothing prior to reuse. There are two washing nachines and three dryers. The laundry room drains are plumbed into the Liquid Indtoactive Waste Treatment System for treatment prior to discharge to the environment.
