Dear Mr. Haelsig:
In response to Mr. Snedeker's letter of September 6, 1985, the interim approval of certain enviralloy high integrity containers is extended to December 31, 1985.
This continuation of interim approval status is con-ditioned as follows:
1.
This interim approval is limited to a period beginning October 1 and ending December 31, 1985, unless restriction 4, below, is applied.
2.
The gross weight of any EA-50 containe: may not exceed 4,200 pounds.
The gross weight of any EA-142 container may not exceed 10,000 pounds.
The gross weight of any EA-190 container may not exceed 20,000 pounds.
The gross weight of any EA-210 container may not exceed 20,000 pounds.
3.
Testing and certification by the generator must clearly indicate that the limitations stated on Pages 5-53 through 5-55 of the Topical Report (Nu-Pac Enviralloy HIC, Revision 0, 6/84) have been met.
1 4.
There will be an immediate recall and modification of containers in i
inventory which do not contain radioactivity when and if a design j
enhancement is required as a result of the topical report evaluation, now in progress.
5.
Each waste generator to be provided an Enviralloy container must be identified and approved in advance by the department.
No new Enviralloy customers of Nu-Pac will be approved by the department during this interim period. Approved utility customert are:
Portland General Electric - Trojan Plant, San Onofre Generating Station, WPPSS, Three Mile Island Unit Two, Northern States Power - Monticello Plant, Arkansas Power - Unit One, Boston Edison Company - Pilgrim Plant, Iowa Electric-Duane Arnold Plant, Arizon Public Service - Palo Verde Unit-1, and Northeast Utilities - Millstone Plants.
Nonutility customers include:
Chemsyn Science Lab, and 3M Corporation.
Richard P. Haelsig, President Nuclear Packaging, Incorporated Page Two 6.
Class A, B, and C wastes are approved for disposal in the Enviralloy container; however, the limit for Class C waste shall be reduced to 25 percent of the allowable Class C limits for each container as specified in Appendix E of US Ecology's license #WN-1019-2.
7 7.
All Enviralloy containers received by US Ecology at the low-level waste disposal site on the Hanford reservation must be buried in accordance with the conditions for Class C wastes.
For these require-ments, please refer to the radioactive materials license issued by the department to US Ecology, Inc.
8.
A copy of this letter must accompany each shipment of waste made pursuant to this letter of authorization.
This interim approval is further restricted to the following number of containert for each of these Nu-Pac customers:
