REFERENCE:
LicenseSNM-778, Docket 70-82Q Md Gentlemen:
The Lynchburg Research Center generates radioactive waste in performing examinations of irradiated equipment and fuel in our hot cell facility.
This type of waste is of a type that is not acceptable for comercial disposal under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 61. This waste began to accumulate in 1979, which prompted the Center to request authorization to construct and use the addition to the Building J waste storage facility.
The NRC granted the authorization; the addition was constructed and has been used since 1979. That addition is nearing its capacity and it is now necessary for the LRC to provide additional storage space.
The waste that is of concern is now covered by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.
Under this Act, the waste will be taken for disposal by the Department of Energy at some time in the future.
This amendment application requests authorization to construct and use a new ground level storage facility that is described in detail in the attached replacement pages to the license application document, BAW-381, Demonstration and Condition for License SNM-778.
I have also attached a sheet of instruction for entering the pages in the license application.
This proposed facility will provide storage capacity for presently forecasted work through 1990.
The High Level Waste Storage Facility will be located within our current Restricted Area on land that has been designated for nuclear work. The proposed facility is a permanent structure which is to be constructed with poured concrete exterior walls below grade. Provisions have been made in the design of the facility for the waste to be stored in 30-gallon or 55-gallon size metal containers. The containers will be stacked 4 or 5 containers high, respectively, in cubicals constructed of mortar-filled masonry blocks. Each cubical will be fitteo with a square concrete plug that will be 3-feet thick, to provide shielding. The array of cubicals will be 10 long and 5 wide for a total of 50.
The cubicals plus the concrete plugs will be below grade with the tops of the plugs and the surrounding concrete apron slightly above ground level, to q
prevent entry of surface water. The shield plugs and supporting cubical
/
structure has sufficient strength to support static loads and dynamic loads of a fork truck and waste containers.

s The facility will be protected from the elements by a metal building that provides for access through a 8'x8' metal door for equipment and waste movement and a metal personnel access door.
This facility, like all of our waste storage facilities, will be locked when unattended and the access controlled by the Health and Safety Group. The purpose of the building is to protect the top of the storage facility from weather and inadvertent personnel entry. The facility will withstand the effects of natural phenomena expected in this area of Virginia with only the loss of the metal building. There will be no release of licensed material to the environment during adverse conditions.
The High Level Waste Storage Facility is provided with a drain line and sump for collection of condensation.
There is no installed provision for the water removal, this will be accomplished manually if needed. A fan is provided for air circulation in the collection sump if an entry by personnel is required. A radiation monitor and smoke detector will be installed in the building that will alarm in the Health and Safety Area in Building B.
The smoke detector will also alarm in the guard station at B&W's Naval Nuclear Fuel Division.
As I mentioned previously, this facility will be needed soon if our hot cell facility is to continue operation. The proposed facility is, in my opinion, an improved method of storage of this high level waste and poses no threat to the health and safety of the general public or our employees and does not endanger the environnent.
A check in the amount of $150.00 is attached to enable the processing of this application.
If you have any questions regarding this application, please don't hesitate to call me.
Very truly yours, BABC0CK & WILC0X Lynchburg Research Center M.)
