l Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), State and licensed burial l facilities acceptance criteria for packaging and shipment to an l approved burial site. Compliance with these criteria will be achieved through implementation of the PCP and related Waterford 3 and vendor supplied procedures. Containers l engineered and built to comply with the stability requirement may be used. Waterford 3 SES typically relies on Vendor supplied systems and/or services for stabilization and solidification services.

5.1 Program Description

> 5.1.1 Solidification System

Description:

Waterford 3 utilizes )

f vendor supplied portable solidification equipment for radioactive waste solidification. All vendor l solidification process procedures will be approved as l plant procedures by Plant Operating Review Sub-Committee.

Reference 2.1.1 through 2.1.5 are Waterford 3 documents which either implement or describe activities which provide reasonable assurance that wastes are solidified or dewatered in accordance with all applicable regulations and criteria.

5~1.2 Sources of Waterford 3 Stabilization / Solidification Feeds:

The Cement solidification will be used to stabilize resins, if needed. During resin stabilization, vendor equipment will be connected to the Resin Waste Management System outlet to allow for the transfer of resin. Solidification using Aquaset/Petroset media will be used to process resins, oil, and water / acid. This process will not be l connected to any plant waste systems and will be processed on a batch basis. 1 4

Administrative Procedure RW-001-210 Process Control Program Revision 7 5.2 Solidification Process Parameters:

5.2.1 Solidification formulas and solidification process parameters are incorporated into the applicable vendor l process control program. No exceptions or deviations l

l from vendor supplied procedures 'or topical reports are l anticipated for stabilized waste. The formulas are used to calculate the ratio of waste, cement, water and

, other reagents required to achieve an acceptable solidified product. Compatibility requirements of the waste stream with respect to the solidification media are described in the vendor process controls program.

Waste stream parameters are adjusted as necessary to l

i meet these requirements.

l 5.2.2 Test solidifications are performed on waste stream samples to verify vendor calculated solidification formulas.

l NOTE i Vendor PCP along with applicable procedures will be approved as plant l procedures prior to use.

5.2.3 Radioactive wastes shall be solidified or dewatered in accordance with the process control program to meet shipping and transportation requirements during transit, and disposal site requirements when received at the disposal site.

i 5.2.6 Solidification of at least one representative test i j specimen from at least every tenth batch of each type  ;

L of wet radioactive wastes (e.g., filter sludges, spent resins), shall be verified in accordance with the vendor's process control program.

l 5.2.7 If the initial test specimen from a batch of waste )

fails to verify solidification, the process control l program shall provide for the coFection and testing of representative test specimens from each consecutive batch of the same type of wet waste until at least three consecutive initial test specimens demonstrate solidification. The process control program may be l modified if practical to assure solidification of subsequent batches of waste.

suspended until such time as additional test specimens ,

can be obtained, alternative solidification parameters can be determined in accordance with the vendors process control program, and a subsequent test verifies i solidification. Solidification of the batch may then be resumed using the alternative solidification parameters determined by the process control program. j l

5.3 Administrative Controls ,

5.3.1 Administrative controls utilized to insure compliance with applicable state and federal regulations and [

burial site criteria are detailed in the radioactive waste solidification surveillance procedure (s). These implementing document (s) for radioactive waste l

solidification and dewatering describes the requirements which must be met prior to processing

! radioactive waste, as well as the condition of the i

. solidified or dewatered waste. Test solidifications,  !

full scale calculations and operation of the solidification equipment are performed by vendor i personnel. Dewatering operations will be performed by vendor personnel or by qualified Plant staff. Plant staff provides Health Physics and Quality Assurance l coverace, operates plant radioactive waste systems, collects waste stream samples and performs isotopic analyses. Copies of all referenced documents are available on site for use by personnel engaged in j solidification activities.

o 5.4 Waste Characterization and Classification l

5.4.1 Waste Classification i i

5.4.1.1 Solidified wastes are classified in

accordance with the requirements of 10CFR61.55, as implemented by reference 2.1.6 and plant waste classification and characterization procedure (s).

5.4.1.2 Annual analysis will be performed on the waste streams to determine the isotopic abundance of gamma emitting isotopes in the streams as described in Reference 2.1.8.

Scaling factors for the non-gamma emitting and transuranic constituents will be i developed from this annual analysis using References 2.1.6 and 2.1.7. The activity of each radionuclide in the solidified waste will be determined by a core sample or a calculational method employing the percent abundance and scaling factors with a dose to curie conversion factor as described in j Reference 2.1.6.
