EXHISIT A Licuid Waste Systems

?

The Liquid Waste Systems include the Reactor Water Cleanup System, the Liquid ~Ra' d waste System, and the portion of the Radwaste Building (77.7% of the financeable cost) that is for i

liquid waste systems.

i The Reacpor Water Cleanup System includes pumps, heat exchangers, filter demineralizers, strainers and tanks necessary to provide continuous purifying treatment of the reactor water.

The portion of this system that is financeable is the equipment required to collect the backwash liquid waste which would normally go to drains.

The Liquid Radwaste Syste.3 includes three primary subsystems (equipment' drains, floor drains, and che.f.ical waste processing) which are designed to control, collect, store, process, treat and dispose of low level radioactive liquid wastes. This svstem was designed according to governmental regulations to meet radioactivity protection standards far in excess ~of standards necessary for safety.

A hypothetical' Alternate System has;been designed which would still

' easily meet all safety standards. This Alternate System is far less expensive to construct than the existing system. The portion of the Liquid Radwaste System that is financeable is the incremental portion of the existing system's cost that is above the total cost-of the Alternate System.

~

L l

Gaseous Waste Systems . -

The Gaseous Waste Systems include the Turbine Building

, Ventilation System,and the portion of the Radwaste Building allo-cated to gaseous waste.

The Turbine Building ventilation System consists of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems designed to provide an environment ll:

with controll.ed temperature and humidity. The por~ tion of this system that is included in the financeable cost is the exhaust collection and exhaust ductwork, exhaust filters, fans and radia-tion monitors.

The portion of the Radwaste Building (8.0% of the financeable

. cost) that is for gaseous waste contains . systems that treat and -

~

dispose od' radioactive gaseous wastes that are generated in the Radwaste Building. -

Solid Waste Systems 4 i

The Solid Waste Systems includelt he spent resin regenerative portions of the Makeup Water Treatment System and the Condensate Cleanup System, and parts of the Radwaste Building.

The function of the Makeup Water Treatment System is to provide demineralized water for the plant. The por, tion of this F

system that is included in the financeable cost is the spent resin.

regeneration equipment. This equipment consists of ::cid tanks, caustic tank, acid and caustic transfer pumps, catie di and anions

.. tank waste

• piping to drains, caustic dilution water heater tank and sulfuric acid day tank.

Equipment has been added to regenerate spent demineralizer resins that would otherwise be discarded as' solid radioactive waste. The equipment including tanks, pdmps, and valvest is financeable as solid waste equipment. This equipment is found in the condensate cleanup system and the solid waste por' tion of_the liquid radwaste system.

The portion of the Radwaste Building _ (14.3% of the financeable cost) -that is for solid waste contains systems that collect, store, package, and prepare radioactive solid waste for disposal.

Spent resin is. unusable and of no value. The company does not expect to sell, or to be able to sell, spent resin at any price.

Soent Fuel Storage Facility .

Spent nuclear fuel and fuel assemblies are stored and disposed of in the Spent Fuel Storage Facility. Due to curreht industry and regulatory conditions, spent nuclear fuel is a solid. waste with no current value or use. ,only that portion of the fuel handling system used for spent fuel storage is included in the scope of the exempt facilities.

j The portions of this syste that are. included in the financeable cost are the spent fuel ~ pool, 1:ners, high density fuel storage racks in the spent fuel pool and the additional spent fuel pool cooling and cleaning capacity required for the spent fuel pool. ,

Also included in the financeable cost of the Spent Fuel Storage Facility is that portion of the auxiliary building that is dedicated to spent fuel storage and handling.' The areas of the building that are included consist of the spent fuel platform and 150 ton crane, spent fuel pool, spent fuel transfer canal, shipping cask pool, cask,,washdown area, and spent fuel cask handling. area. The rail-road car fuel cask loading ~ bay"and equipment are also included as well as the railroad spur into the fuel building because they are also dedicated to spent fuel h'andling and disposa1. ,

The< company does not expect to sell, or to be able to sell, spent nuclear fuel andLfuel assemblies at any price.

SUBJECT:

CALIPORNIA POLLLTTION CONTROL TINANCING AUTHORITY, APPLICATION NO. 425, DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Application No. 425 to the California Pollution Control Authority dated November 1, 1983; Amendment No. 1 dated December 2, 1983; and Amendment No. 2 dated August 30, 1984, have been reviewed for purposes of certification, based on our review of the submitted application and resuming proper operation, the following facilities will aid Pacific Gas and Electric Company in meeting the water pollution control standards established by the NPDES permit for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

1. Facilities at the intage structure for collecting debris for off-site disposal (existing);

2. The cooling water system which mitigates thermal dis-charges to the receiving water (existing);

3. the oily-water separator system (existing);

4. The sanitary waste system (existing); and,

5. The chemical waste holding pond (proposed).

It is our understanding all pollution control facilities treating radioactive wastes are directly regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These facilities, therefore, were not reviewed by this Board's staff.

Inclosed is the signed certification fore requested by the financing authority.

Questions on this matter may be referred to John Goni of my staff.

l February 27, 1984 David:

The NPC review of PGandE's application to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, as supplemented by amendments dated December 2,1983, and August 30, 1984, should be limited to Radiological Pollution Control Facilities described in Section 3.2. A table listing these facilities and giving references to the detailed descriptions in the application was sent to you and Hans earlier today under cover of a note sent to Barclay on February 14, 1985.

The NPC need not review the following four Non-Radiological Control Facilities.

1. Cooling Water System (including portions of the intake structure)

2. Oily Water Separator system

3. Sanitary Waste System 4 Chemical Waste Holding Pond The California Regional Water Control Board, Central Coast Pegion, has jurisdiction over control of pollution from these four systems and already has provided the State lic ::f Authority with an In-Furtherance Certificate. A copy of that In-Furtherance Certificate is enclosed.

Barclay:

i t ol WRC should be reviewing PGandE's description of pollu systems.

Within this context NRC is being asked to certify that:

1)

NFC has examined Part 3.2 of both amendments Appendix 3.8.2 of Amendment 1 and Attachment 7 of Amendment 2; and, -

2) such facilities are for the purpose of abating pollution.

It is not expected that NRC will determine which pipes in a given system canThis be qualified or the dollar amount ascribed to them.according to co Pollution Control Financing Authority. ,

(The $190,000,000 listed in '

Thus, no firm dollar amounts can be provided.

Attachment 7 indicatesPGandE that PGandE and Bond estimated dollar amountsCounsel are provided believe for that the fin may be of this magnitude.)those systems described at the bottom of page 4 a control facilities.

PGandE Financial Planning and Analysis personnel have indicated the impact of delaying approval for pollution control bond financing would be of the magnitude of $500,000/mo. Thus, if approval is not granted on March 20, 1985, r

approximately one-month delay would result costing PGandE about $500,000 in financing changes.

Mark Mendel, Financial Planning and Analysis, has indicated that the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (DPCFA) might be willing to

. retain the bond financing on their agenda for March 20, 1985, even if the Infprthernace Certificate, signed by NRC is not received by March 6,1985.

For CPCFA to waive the March 6,1985 date, but still rule on the bond financing at the March 20, 1985 meeting, CPCFA would require assurance from NRC that the signed certificate would be received prior to the meeting time.
