I Director - ONMSS March 21, 1988 Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT 1 Purpose The following information is provided in support of GE's Nuclear Fuel & Components Manufacturing request for NRC authorization to ship quantities of dewatered calcium fluoride to vendors for testing without continuing NRC controls.
The activity concentration is sufficiently low as to justify its beneficial use rather than transport to a disposal facility.
Background
The chemical conversion of uranium hexafluoride (UF.) to uranium dioxide (UO,) results in an aqueous waste containing ammonium fluoride (NH.F) and a very low concentration of soluble uranium.
This aqueous waste is treated with lime (Ca(OH),) to precipitate the fluoride ion and capture the remaining small amounts of uranium.
This results in an insoluble calcium fluoride (CaF,)
precipitate.
The CaF, is filtered from the waste stream and the filtered liquid is pumped to the lagoons where it is discharged after processing.
The dewatered cap, solids contain less than 30 pC1 of uranium per gram on a dry weight basis.
Currently, these solids are transported to a waste burial facility for off-site disposal as described in SNM-1097, Section 1.8.5.
(
Description of Material The test material to be shipped will be limited to dewatered calcium fluoride (approximately 45% solids) containing not greater than 30 pC1 per gram of uranium on a dry weight basis.
Test quantity will not exceed 1 gram U835 total per vendor.
Prior to shipment, the material will be analyzed to assure that this concentration limit is not exceeded.
Feasibility tests by vendors will be limited to those that preclude the chemical separation of uranium from the matrix.
Recipients of the Material The following two potential cu=tomers are the designated recipients of the described material for the initial feasibility tests:
