1' CPS.No. 1888.00 l 1.0 PURPOSE () The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) is.co define the necessary program guidance used at Clinton Power Station (CPS) to ensure that solid radioactive waste management activities, in packaging radioactive waste for disposal, conform to.the Code of Federal and State Regulations and the Waste Burial Site License Criteria. This procedure fulfills a requirement by the CPS Technical Specifications, Sections 3.11.3, 4.11.3 and 6.5.1.6.1, 2.0 DISCUSSION / DEFINITIONS 2.1 Discussion 2.1.1 A large portion of the waste produced in a nuclear power station is in a form which is either liquid or in a wet solid form (e.g., resins, filter sludge, evaporator bottoms) and requires processing to obtain an acceptable, solid, monolithic form for burial. The solidification of these wastes is to be performed by a vendor utilizing a mobile solidification system. A management review of the vendor's n s_f topical report is necessary to assure vendor operation and requirements are compatible with plant operation and plant responsibility.
~
2.1.2 The Clinton Power Station Radwaste Solidification System may, in the future, provide for the solidification of radioactive wastes. The radioactive wastes would be mixed with cement or other binding media (e.g., asphalt, Dow media) and conditioning additives to produce a monolithic solid with no free-standing liquids. 'In addition, radioactive wet solids may also be processed by dewatering to assure there is no-free-standing water. Compliance with 49CFR, 10CFR20, 10CFR61, 10CFR71 and other applicable regulations would be assured by adherence to approved procedures and instructions. O JMD5 Page No. 3 of 9 Rev. lio, 1

'~' (FSW) b) Vendors utilized by CPS to process wet wastes are required to include in their approved procedures provisions for correcting processed waste in which free standing water in excess of FSW Criteria ' is detected. These procedures shall be approved by CPS prior to use.
Oily-wastes at CPS are processed in accordance with approved plant procedures. These plant procedures shall specify the proper methods to treat oily waste to comply with the criteria in the Code of Federal Regulations, State Regulations and applicable Burial Site License Requirements. 8.3 Special Cases Based on previous industry experience, CPS foresees the potential for situations arising that may be beyond existing plant capabilities. Anticipating this possibility, provisions are made herein to accommodate such situations in a timely manner by using special
/~D techniques or processes. These special cases should ; \s / be controlled as follows:
8.3.1 Implementing procedures shall be developed comparable to those used for normal plant solid waste activities based on the guidance of this PCP and incorporating the . applicable provisions for process control i and testing. 8.3.2 Use of this provision and supporting information included in the next Semi-Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report described in Section 8.5.5. 8.4 ALARA ' Solid Radioactive Waste Management activities at CPS shall be conducted in accordance with CPS 1895.00 ALARA Program.

e Attachment B Additional Information to Associated Teschnologies, Inc. (ATI) Topical Report No. ATI-VR-001-P-A "ATI Volume Reduction and Bitument Solidification System" In the Commission's acceptance of Topical Report ATI-VR-001-P-A, the NRC requested that the licensee provide additional information when referencing the abeve report: (1) Any exceptiona or deviations from the ATI Topical Report dated January 1981. Response: The only exception being taken is that Illinois Power Company is adopting Supplement No. I to Topical Report No. ATI-VR-001-P-A. This supplement has been submitted to the NRC for review. Also, this supplement provides further information on the design and operational differences between the ATI system in the main report and the Transportabic Volume Reduction and Bitument Solidification System (TVR-III System). (2) Interfaces between the plant and the MVRS ATI System. Response: Interfaces between the plant and the mobile volume reduction system (MVRS) are described in Supplement No. 1 of the ATI Topical Report (Section 3.4) and the Clinton Power Station Final Safety Analysis Report Section 11.4 (Amendment #34). (3) Location and arrangement drawings of the ATI System in the plant. Response: The system that will be used at Clinton Power Station is a mobile system. A general arrangement drawing of the system is provided in Supplement #1 of the ATI Topical Report. When ATI's system is being used, it will be located in the radwnste building truck bay. (4) Waste classification program to demonstrate that the solid waste product is classified in accordance with 10CFR61, Section 61.55 and the NRC Branch Technical Position on waste classification. Responset This program is described in the Clinton Power Station.
"Radwaste Material Shipping Manual" (Procedure No. ).
Processed waste will be sampled in accordance with procedures described in the TVR-III System. Results from the samples will be used to classify the solid waste product. (5) Description of the solid waste product container to be used for the ultimate disposal of the ATI solidified product.
.1 Attachment B (Cont'd) Response: Supplement #1 of the ATI Topical Report says that the TVR-III System will utilize 55-gallon drums. No other size will be
. used. The drum which ATI currently plans to use is a 55-gallon DOT Specification 17E 20/18 Gauge drum with an lik" tap opening. This drum is available from several manufacturers and is acceptable at burial sites at Barnwell, S.C. and Richland, Washington.
(6) The capability of the plant radioactive waste treatment system to meet the requirements of Appendix I to 10CFR50 due to the operation of the ATI System. j Response: The Topical Report No. ATI-VR-001-P-A describes permanent I plant equipment. Illinois Power intends to use ATI's TVR-III, which is described in Supplement No. 1 of the ATI System. In addition, a duct which connects the discharge of exhaust gases into the Clinton Power Station ventilation systems has been provided. The ATI equipment will be located in an area of the plant which meets the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) concept and will be monitored routinely by the Radiation
; Protection organization. Although the radwaste truck bay will not always be occupied, there will be times when workers will be in the area during processing. Appropriate radiological controls will be instituted.
