1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Contact-Handled Transuranic Waste Authorized Methods for Payload Control (CH-TRAMPAC) is the governing document for shipments in the Transuranic Package Transporter-II (TRUPACT-II) and HalfPACT packagings. All users of the TRUPACT-II and the HalfPACT shall comply with all payload requirements outlined in this document, using one or more of the methods described. Supporting information for the limits and compliance methods defined in this document is contained in the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. 1 1.1 Scope The TRUPACT-II and the HalfPACT have been developed as Type B packagings to provide a safe means of transporting contact-handled (CH) transuranic (TRU) wastes and other authorized payloads such as tritium-contaminated materials. The shipment of tritium-contaminated waste shall be as described in Appendix 6.11 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The shipment of high-wattage CH-TRU waste shall be as described in Appendix 6.12 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The shipment of waste packaging configurations with unvented heat-sealed bag layers in addition to other layers of confinement shall be as described in Appendix 6.13 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Both packagings consist of an outer confinement assembly (OCA), an inner containment vessel (ICV), and two aluminum honeycomb spacer assemblies, with the HalfPACT being a shorter version of the TRUPACT-II. The CH-TRAMPAC defines the authorized contents for both packagings. The defined payload is, for the most part, independent of packaging. Information that is specific to the TRUPACT-II or the HalfPACT packaging is identified as such within the CH-TRAMPAC.

1.3-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 1.4 Methods of Compliance This document describes allowable methods to be used for determining compliance with each payload requirement and the controls imposed on the use of each method. Each generator or storage site shall select and implement a single method, or a combination of methods, to ensure that the payload is compliant with each requirement and is qualified for shipment. These methods shall be delineated in a programmatic or waste-specific data TRU Waste Authorized Methods for Payload Control (TRAMPAC).

Each shipper shall document and demonstrate compliance with the CH-TRAMPAC by one of the following methods:

• A programmatic TRAMPAC, which defines the process in which payload compliance is met, will be prepared by the shipper and approved by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO). Implementing procedures of the TRAMPAC will be reviewed by the DOE-CBFO for completeness and compliance as part of the audit process.

Compliance with transportation requirements applies to the following two categories of waste:

1. Waste Generated Under a Formal Certification Program. Payload containers in this category (designated 100 Series) are characterized individually based on process knowledge and visual examination at the time of waste generation. For sites using a set of site/equipment-specific procedures for payload control for compliance, an independent verification of compliance must be performed prior to transport for no less than 10 percent of the 100 Series payload containers transported from each site per year. This independent verification may consist of a second operator verifying the container contents or waste records during the waste generation process or radiography.

2. Waste Generated Prior to Site Implementation of a Formal Certification Program.

Payload containers in this category (designated 200 Series) are characterized based on process knowledge. An independent verification of compliance shall be performed prior to transport for 200 Series waste using a statistical sampling program comprised of the methods identified in this section (visual examination, radiography, measurement, etc.).

• For small quantity shipments, a waste-specific data TRAMPAC will be prepared by the shipper and approved by the DOE-CBFO. The waste data are evaluated against the requirements in this document. A small quantity shipment may be made by any waste generator who does not have a DOE-CBFO approved programmatic TRAMPAC or a waste generator with a limited number of containers not addressed within their programmatic TRAMPAC.

A summary of the methods of compliance that shall be used for TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT payload control is provided in the following sections.

1.4-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 1.4.1 Visual Examination Visual examination at the time of waste generation may be used to qualify waste for transport (e.g., 100 Series waste). The operator(s) of a waste generating area shall visually examine the physical form of the waste according to site/equipment-specific procedures and remove all prohibited waste forms prior to placement in the payload container. Observation of the waste generation process by an independent operator may be used as an independent verification of compliance prior to closure of the payload container. Visual examination under a sampling program may be used as independent verification (e.g., to verify the absence of prohibited items in 200 Series waste).

1.4.2 Visual Inspection Visual inspection may be used to evaluate compliance with specific restrictions (e.g., visual inspection of payload container type, marking, etc.). Visual inspection by a second operator may be considered independent verification.

1.4.3 Radiography Radiography, or equivalent nondestructive examination techniques, may be used as an independent verification to qualify waste for transport after the payload container is closed (e.g.,

to nondestructively examine the physical form of the waste and to verify the absence of prohibited waste forms). A radiography system normally consists of an X-ray-producing device, an imaging system, an enclosure for radiation protection, a waste container handling system, an audio/video recording system, and an operator control and data acquisition station. Some variation within a given nondestructive examination system will exist between sites.

Site/equipment-specific QA and quality control (QC) procedures ensure that radiography system operator(s) are properly trained and qualified. Appendix 5.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices 1 describes typical real-time radiography procedures.

Other radiographic methods must meet the same performance objectives for real-time radiography (i.e., to nondestructively examine the physical form of the waste and to verify the absence of prohibited items in a payload container) and must be controlled by procedures similar to those described in Appendix 5.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 for real-time radiography.

1.4.4 Records and Database Information Information obtained from existing site records and/or databases or knowledge of process may be used to qualify waste for transport (e.g., as a basis for reporting the absence of prohibited waste forms within waste containers). This information may be verified using radiography (Section 1.4.3) and/or a waste sampling program (Section 1.4.6).

1.4-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 1.4.5 Administrative and Procurement Controls Site-specific administrative and procurement controls may be used to show that the payload container contents are monitored and controlled and to demonstrate the absence of prohibited items.

1.4.6 Sampling Programs Sampling programs comprised of the statistical application of other methods identified in this section may be used as an independent verification of compliance (e.g., for 200 Series waste). A site-specific statistical sampling program designed to address all payload requirements needing verification is recommended. Appendix 5.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 describes previous sampling programs at the DOE sites.

1.4.7 Measurement Direct measurement or evaluation based on analysis using the direct measurement may be used to qualify waste (e.g., direct measurement of the weight or analysis of assay data to determine decay heat).

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 1.5 CH-TRUCON Document The CH-TRU Waste Content Codes (CH-TRUCON) document 1 is a catalog of TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT authorized contents and a description of the methods utilized to demonstrate compliance with the CH-TRAMPAC.

1.5.1 Required Elements Each content code within the CH-TRUCON document must contain the following elements:

CONTENT CODE: Identifies the two-letter site abbreviation that designates the physical location of the waste and the three-digit code that designates waste generation relative to implementation of a formal certification program and the physical and chemical form of the waste. Content code identifiers are defined in the CH-TRUCON (Tables 3 and 4).

CONTENT DESCRIPTION: Identifies the physical form of the waste (e.g., describing whether it is inorganic or organic, solidified or solid). This is similar to the waste material type titles in Section 5.1.

STORAGE SITE: Provides the location of the waste, if the location is different than the generating site. If the generating site and storage site are the same, this section is not required to be included in the content code.

GENERATING SITE: Provides the location of waste generation.

WASTE DESCRIPTION: Provides basic information regarding the nature and/or main components of the waste.

GENERATING SOURCE(S): Lists processes and/or buildings at each site that generate the waste in each content code.

WASTE FORM: Provides more detailed information on the waste contents, how the waste is processed, and/or specific information about the chemistry of constituents.

WASTE PACKAGING: Describes, in detail, techniques necessary for waste packaging in a given content code. This includes a description of the waste confinement layers, the number of layers of confinement used in packaging waste, and the mechanism for bag, can, or container closure.

ASSAY: Describes the types of radioactive materials measurement techniques or other methods utilized to obtain fissile material content and decay heat values for a particular content code.

RESIDUAL LIQUIDS: Describes the procedures used by the sites to ensure that the limits imposed on liquids (<1% by volume) are met for each content code.

EXPLOSIVES/COMPRESSED GASES: Identifies the methods used to preclude the presence of explosives or compressed gases.

1.5-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 PYROPHORICS: Describes the controls in place at each site to ensure that nonradioactive pyrophoric materials in TRU waste are excluded, reacted to render nonreactive, or are immobilized prior to placement in waste.

CORROSIVES: Describes the controls in place to ensure that corrosive materials in TRU waste either are not present or are neutralized or immobilized prior to placement in a payload container.

CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY: Describes the controls in place to ensure chemical compatibility for the waste contents and the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT packaging. All chemicals/materials in the waste for a specific content code are restricted to the allowable chemical lists (Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8) and the 5% limit on total materials not listed as specified in Section 4.3.

PAYLOAD CONTAINER VENTING AND ASPIRATION: Details how payload containers that have been stored in an unvented condition (i.e., no filter and/or unpunctured liner) will be aspirated to ensure equilibration of any gases that may have accumulated in the closed container.

This procedure is required only for unvented waste.

ADDITIONAL CRITERIA: Provides details on how the waste qualifies for shipment by meeting additional transport requirements (e.g., venting payload containers and liners).

SHIPPING CATEGORY: Shipping categories based on the above parameters for each content code are summarized in the CH-TRUCON (Table 2).

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WATTAGE: The maximum allowable wattage limit for each shipping category is determined in accordance with Section 5.2.3.

1.5.2 Use and Approval All containers must have a content code approved by the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)

CH-TRU Payload Engineer to be eligible for shipment. Any site requiring the transportation of TRU waste in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT that is not described in an approved content code must request the revision or addition of a content code by submitting a request in writing to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer.

The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer has the authority to approve a content code request only if compliance with the transportation requirements of the CH-TRAMPAC document can be demonstrated. Any submittal not meeting the requirements of the CH-TRAMPAC shall not be approved for inclusion in the CH-TRUCON document or be used as the basis for a shipment in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer does not have the authority to change the transportation requirements for the TRUPACT-II or the HalfPACT as specified in the CH-TRAMPAC document without approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Requests for revisions to content codes shall be submitted to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer and may include the following:

• Minor revisions to the content code descriptions (e.g., changes to buildings or sources generating the waste)

• Changes to method(s) used to characterize the waste (e.g., the use of an alternate approved assay method) 1.5-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020

• Changes to the packaging descriptions (e.g., the use of a different number of bag layers)

• Addition of a new authorized waste form from a given site (e.g., shipment of filter waste)

• Minor revisions to the chemical list for a specific content code.

The process for requesting a content code addition or revision is as follows:

1. The site prepares in writing a request containing sufficient information to satisfy all of the necessary elements identified in Section 1.5.1. If the request is for a content code revision, only the revised elements require preparation and documentation. The site shall ensure that the information submitted in the form of a content code addition or revision accurately describes the waste and waste generating processes based on site knowledge.

2. The site submits the request (e.g., draft content code or revised content code elements) in writing to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer for review.

3. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall review the submittal for completeness and satisfactory demonstration of compliance with all the transportation requirements of the CH-TRAMPAC. As part of this review, the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineers responsibilities may include a review to ensure that each of the previously identified elements is complete, the calculation or verification of new payload shipping categories to accommodate changes in packaging configurations using the Numeric Payload Shipping Category Worksheet (Table 2.2-1 through Table 2.2-4 in Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices 2), and the analysis of compliance with the list of allowable materials (for new waste forms or for changes in chemical composition) pursuant to Section 4.3. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall not approve any submittal that does not demonstrate compliance with every transportation requirement for the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT.

4. Upon completion of the review, the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall send formal written notification to the site indicating the status of the request. If the request is denied, the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall indicate in the notification the reason why the request was not accepted and shall identify which elements of the submittal are incomplete or out of compliance.

5. If the request is approved, a site may begin using the new or revised content code once official written notification is received from the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer. Sites may not use proposed content code additions or revisions to make shipments in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT prior to receipt of written notification from the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer.

6. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall record all approved content code additions or revisions in the CH-TRUCON document. The current revision of the CH-TRUCON document shall be available to sites.

The site Transportation Certification Official shall approve by signature on the transportation certification documents every payload for transport.

1.6.2 DOE-CBFO The DOE-CBFO is responsible for the performance of compliance verification audits, which are conducted prior to the first shipment and periodically thereafter to evaluate TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT payload compliance. Audit activities include document review and interview of site operators on a job-function basis relative to meeting the applicable criteria. Where specific technical ability is required (e.g., chemical compatibility, isotopic inventory, and assay),

technical experts are included on the audit team. DOE-CBFO will grant or deny waste transportation authorization based on objective evidence of the audit and the recommendation of the audit teams report. Compliance verification audits are not required at sites that document compliance by preparing waste-specific data TRAMPACs that are reviewed and approved by the DOE-CBFO.

2.1-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 2.1.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance shall be by one, or a combination, of the following methods:

• Visual inspection to the specifications of Section 2.9.

• Administrative and procurement controls demonstrating that payload containers have been procured to the specifications of Section 2.9.

In addition to meeting the specifications of Section 2.9 at the time of procurement, the integrity of the payload container shall be visually inspected prior to transport to ensure that payload container is in good and unimpaired condition (e.g., no significant rusting and is of sound structural integrity). For shielded container shipments, associated radial and axial dunnage assemblies shall also be visually inspected prior to transport to ensure they are in a good and unimpaired condition and properly installed. Compliance shall be documented in accordance with site-specific procedures prior to shipment.

2.1-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 2.2 Dunnage 2.2.1 Requirements A shipper shall use empty 55-, 85-, or 100-gallon drums, an SWB, or shielded containers as dunnage to complete a payload configuration if too few loaded payload containers are available that meet transportation requirements. The dunnage container(s) must meet the specifications of Section 2.9 with the exception that dunnage containers shall have at least one open vent port (i.e.,

not filtered or plugged). Note that empty 55-gallon drum(s) can be used as dunnage container(s) to complete a payload of pipe overpacks or CCOs.

Payload (Contents) 7,265 Loaded TRUPACT-II (Package) 19,250 2.3-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Each loaded HalfPACT and associated payload assembly shall comply with the maximum gross weight limits provided in Table 2.3-3.

Table 2.3 HalfPACT and Payload Assembly Maximum Gross Weight Limits Maximum Gross Weight Payload (pounds)

Payload (Contents) 7,600 Loaded HalfPACT (Package) 18,100 Maximum gross weight limits for payload assemblies of either the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT include the weight of the loaded payload container(s) and any additional payload assembly items (e.g., pallets, spacers, guide tubes, slip sheets, reinforcing plates, banding material, slings, axial and radial dunnage, etc., as specified in Section 2.9). Actual payload assembly weights are limited by as-built TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT weights and U.S. Department of Transportation requirements for a loaded transport vehicle.

Payload containers and TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT payloads shall be acceptable for transport only if the weight plus the measurement error is less than or equal to the maximum gross weights specified in Table 2.3-1 and Table 2.3-2 or Table 2.3-3.

2.3.1.2 Requirements for Center of Gravity For TRUPACT-II payloads, the total weight of payload container(s) in the top layer of the payload assembly shall be less than or equal to the total weight of payload container(s) in the bottom layer of payload assembly. In the case of drums overpacked in a TDOP, the total weight of the top layer of drums shall be less than or equal to the total weight of the bottom layer of drums.

No center of gravity requirements exist for HalfPACT payloads.

2.3.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification 2.3.2.1 Methods of Compliance and Verification for Container/Assembly Weight Compliance shall be by measurement. The weight of each payload container (or dunnage) shall be determined using a calibrated scale. The scale calibrations shall be in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44 1, or an equivalent standard. The measured weight and the measurement error of each payload container shall be recorded in the Payload Container Transportation Certification Document (PCTCD) or the Overpack Payload Container Transportation Certification Document (OPCTCD), as appropriate (see Section 6.2.1).

The measurement error is determined from the scale calibration tolerance. If multiple scales are 1

2.3-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 used, a bounding value based on the highest scale calibration tolerance may be used to determine the measurement error.

One of two methods shall be used to calculate the total weight of the payload:

• If the total payload gross weight is obtained by summing the weights of the individual payload containers or dunnage, it shall include the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual measurement errors. If used, the weight of pallets, reinforcing plates, slip sheets, guide tubes, stretch wrap, adjustable slings, etc., shall be added to the sum of the weights of the individual payload containers.

• If the total payload gross weight is obtained by weighing the payload as an assembly, the measurement shall include the error.

The measured weight and the measurement error (determined from the scale calibration tolerance) shall be reported on the Payload Assembly Transportation Certification Document (PATCD) (see Section 6.2.2).

2.3.2.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification for Center of Gravity The weight and measurement error of each payload container and of the total payload shall be calculated and reported on the PATCD (see Section 6.2.2), which requires the documentation of verification of compliance with the center of gravity requirements for TRUPACT-II payloads.

No center of gravity requirements exist for HalfPACT payloads.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 2.4 Container Marking 2.4.1 Requirements Each payload container shall be labeled with a unique container identification number.

If an empty 55-, 85-, or 100-gallon drum or shielded container is used as dunnage to complete a payload configuration (see Section 2.2), the dunnage container shall be labeled with the following information:

• Unique container identification number

• EMPTY or DUNNAGE.

If a seven-pack of only dunnage 55-gallon drums, a four-pack of only dunnage 85-gallon drums, a three-pack of only dunnage 100-gallon drums, or a dunnage SWB is used in the TRUPACT-II, the container(s) shall be labeled only EMPTY or DUNNAGE, and the unique container identification number label is not required for these containers.

2.4.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance shall be through visual inspection of each payload container and dunnage and the unique container identification number/label shall be recorded on the PCTCD or the OPCTCD (see Section 6.2.1).

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 2.5 Filter Vents 2.5.1 Requirements Each payload container to be transported in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT, including all payload containers that are overpacked in other payload containers, shall have one or more filter vents or equivalent venting mechanisms. Payload container filter vents must meet the minimum specifications of Table 2.5-1 and this section. Any equivalent venting mechanisms shall meet the minimum total hydrogen diffusivity per container specified in Table 2.5-1. Specifications for filter vents in plastic bags and other inner layers used as confinement layers within payload containers are also included in Table 2.5-1.

The use of a heat-sealed filtered bag as the innermost layer of confinement to package CH-TRU waste is limited to Waste Material Types I.3, II.1, III.1, and III.3 provided that there is no potential for contact of the filters with water. Waste Material Types II.3 and III.2, which by definition include a metal can as the innermost layer of confinement, may use heat-sealed filtered bags as confinement layers outside of the innermost metal can. Because Waste Material Type II.2 (inorganic solids packaged in metal cans) does not generate flammable gas, heat-sealed filtered or unfiltered bags may be used as confinement layers outside of the innermost metal can.

For other waste material types, heat-sealed filtered bags are not allowed as the innermost layer of confinement.

The use of filtered bags in waste packaging configurations must be specified in approved content codes.

Filters tested at a different pressure gradient shall have a proportional flow rate (e.g., 35 ml/min at 1 inch of water = 1 Liter/minute at 1 pound per square inch).

Total hydrogen diffusivity may be achieved through the use of multiple filter vents.

Filters exceeding these specifications may be used to decrease the resistance to hydrogen diffusivity in accordance with the logic outlined in Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The use of equivalent venting mechanisms is not allowed for 55-gallon drums used as part of the pipe overpack or CCO configuration.

Filters installed in payload containers that are overpacked in drums, SWBs, or TDOPs are exempt from the efficiency requirement as the outer payload container must exhibit a >99.9 percent efficiency.

The use of equivalent venting mechanisms is not allowed.

Filtered confinement layer specification is not applicable to Waste Material Type II.2 (packaged in a metal can) due to zero gas generation potential.

• Compliance with these conditions shall be documented in site-specific documents.

Not applicable.

Limited to a maximum of 2,000 grams of plastic per CCO.

3.1.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance with the FGE requirements involves the following steps:

• Determination of the isotopic composition

• Determination of the quantity of radionuclides

• Calculation of the FGE and compliance evaluation.

Each of these steps is discussed in detail below.

Isotopic Composition The isotopic composition of the waste may be determined from direct measurements taken on the product material during the processing or post-process certification at each site, analysis of the waste, or from existing records. The isotopic composition of the waste need not be determined by direct analysis or measurement of the waste unless process information is not available.

Pu-239 FGE for other fissile or fissionable isotopes, including special actinide elements, shall be obtained using the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Nuclear Society (ANS) method ANSI/ANS-8.1 3, ANSI/ANS-8.15 4, or an equivalent method. Decay heat and specific activity shall be obtained using Radcalc 5, or an equivalent nuclear properties database.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Table 3.1-2 lists the Pu-239 FGE, as well as the decay heat and specific activity, of many radionuclides.

The following are two examples of analytical methods for determining isotopic composition:

• Mass spectrometry (MS)

• Gamma ray pulse height analysis.

Depending on the mixture of radionuclides present in the waste, one or more methods may be required. These assay methods are described in Appendix 5.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. 6 MS is a primary method for determining the radioisotopic composition in product material (e.g.,

plutonium isotopic composition). The isotope analyses shall be performed in accordance with the following American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) MS methods: ASTM C 696, ASTM C 697, and ASTM C 759 7,8,9, or equivalent methods.

Gamma ray pulse height analysis or MS is used to determine the isotopic composition for gamma-emitting radionuclides. Gamma ray pulse height analysis shall be performed in accordance with ASTM C 1030 10, or an equivalent method.

Quantity of Radionuclides The quantity of the radionuclides in each payload container shall be estimated by either a direct measurement or records of the individual payload container, a summation of assay results from individual packages in a payload container, or a direct measurement on a representative sample of a waste stream (such as solidified inorganics). An assay refers to one of several radiation measurement techniques that determine the quantity of nuclear material in TRU wastes. Assay instruments detect and quantify the primary radiation (alpha, gamma, and/or neutron) emanating from specific radionuclides, or a secondary radiation emitted from neutron interrogation techniques. The measured quantity of radiation is then used to calculate the quantity of other radionuclides and the total quantity of Pu-239 FGE. That calculation requires knowledge of the isotopic composition of the waste. Combinations of gamma spectroscopy and neutron measurements are often needed to calculate the quantity of nonfissile radionuclides.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 The following are five examples of assay methods for quantifying radionuclides in TRU waste:

• Passive gamma (hyper-pure germanium, germanium, lithium-drifted germanium, sodium iodide: transmission-corrected and noncorrected)

• Radiochemical assay (alpha and gamma spectroscopy)

• Passive neutron coincidence counting assay

• Passive-active neutron assay

• Calorimetry.

These assay methods are described in Appendix 5.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.6 General assay requirements that apply to all sites are as follows:

• Each site shall select and use the assay method(s) of its choice, provided the method(s) is/are approved by the DOE-CBFO under the programmatic or waste-specific data TRAMPAC (see Section 1.4) and the prescribed controls are implemented.

• The site's waste content code descriptions shall list the specific assay method(s) and its/their application(s).

• Site/equipment-specific operating and QA procedures or the waste-specific data package shall describe the assay method(s) and the controls imposed on the assay operations. The controls include performing calibration and background measurements. The calibration and background measurements shall fall within the stated acceptable ranges before assays are performed.

• Site/equipment-specific QA plans and procedures or the QA associated with the waste-specific data package shall include oversight of assay methods and controls.

• Each site shall provide a specialized training program for assay operators.

Calculation of the FGE and Compliance Evaluation The FGE of each payload container shall be calculated from the isotopic composition and quantity of radionuclides. The FGE value plus two times the measurement error (i.e., two standard deviations) shall be less than or equal to the applicable limit for each payload container.

The Pu-239 FGE of each payload container shall be recorded in the PCTCD and OPCTCD, as applicable (see Section 6.2.1).

The total Pu-239 FGE for a payload shall be calculated and recorded in the PATCD (Section 6.2.2). The total Pu-239 FGE error is the square root of the sum of the squares of twice the individual Pu-239 FGE errors. This error shall be added to the FGE of the payload and compared to the limit.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 3.3 Activity Limits 3.3.1 Requirements 3.3.1.1 Generic, Standard Pipe Overpack, Shielded Container, and Criticality Control Overpack The TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT are limited to a specific maximum total activity when packaging payloads of either Generic (55-gallon drums, 85-gallon drums, 100-gallon drums, SWBs, and TDOP), 6-in. standard pipe overpacks, 12-in standard pipe overpacks, shielded containers, or CCOs. Each payload shall be acceptable for shipment only if the determined activity plus the error (i.e., one standard deviation) meets the specific limit as determined by the procedure provided in Section 5.5.6 of the TRUPACT-II SAR1.

3.3.1.2 S100 and S300 Pipe Overpack The TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT are limited to a maximum total activity of 406 curies (Ci) when packaging payloads of either S100 or S300 pipe overpacks. The S100 and S300 pipe overpack payloads are limited to sealed neutron sources in the forms specified in Table 4.2-1 of Appendix 4.2 and Table 4.4-1 of Appendix 4.4, respectively, of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices6. Each payload shall be acceptable for shipment only if the determined activity plus the error (i.e., one standard deviation) meets this limit.

3.3.1.3 S200 Pipe Overpack The contents of each S200 pipe overpack are limited to the radionuclides and associated activities listed in Table 4.3-2 of Appendix 4.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices for both the S200-A and S200-B shield insert configurations. Each S200 pipe overpack shall be acceptable for shipment only if the determined activity plus the error (i.e., one standard deviation) meets the applicable limit.

3.3.1.4 105 A2 As described in Section 2.7.7, Deep Water Immersion, of the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT SARs, a payload shall be acceptable for transport only if the activity plus error (i.e., one standard deviation) is less than or equal to 105 A2 curies. A2 values are defined in 10 CFR §71.

3.3.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance with the activity requirements is similar to the compliance methodology described in Section 3.1.2. The activity of the payload shall be calculated from the isotopic composition and quantity of radionuclides comprising the payload.

3.3.2.1 Generic, Standard Pipe Overpack, Shielded Container, and Criticality Control Overpack The combined sum of partial fractions for the gamma and neutron source terms present in the package must be less than or equal to 0.9, or 3.3-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 4.0 CHEMICAL PROPERTIES REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Pyrophoric Materials As defined by 10 CFR §61.2:

A pyrophoric solid is any solid material, other than one classed as an explosive, which under normal conditions is liable to cause fires through friction, retained heat from manufacturing or processing, or which can be ignited readily and when ignited burns so vigorously and persistently as to create a serious transportation, handling, or disposal hazard. Included are spontaneously combustible and water-reactive materials. 1 Examples of pyrophoric radionuclides are metallic plutonium and americium. Examples of nonradioactive pyrophorics, or materials/wastes that may cause a pyrophoric-type event, are organic peroxides, sodium metal, and chlorates.

All waste generating sites administratively control the procurement, distribution, use, and disposal of nonradioactive pyrophoric materials. In general, pyrophoric materials are not permitted in TRU waste process areas. The quantity of pyrophoric materials that does enter any process is strictly limited and controlled by site safety considerations.

4.1.1 Requirements Radioactive pyrophoric materials shall be present only in small residual amounts (1 percent

[weight]) in payload containers. Radioactive pyrophorics in concentrations greater than 1 percent by weight and all nonradioactive pyrophorics shall be reacted (or oxidized) and/or otherwise rendered nonreactive prior to placement in the payload container.

4.1.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance shall be by one, or a combination, of the following methods:

• Review of records and database information, which may include knowledge of process

• Administrative and procurement controls.

4.1-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 4.2 Explosives, Corrosives, and Compressed Gases As defined by 49 CFR §173.50:

an explosive means any substance or article, including a device, which is designed to function by explosion (i.e., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat) or which, by chemical reaction within itself, is able to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion, unless the substance or article is otherwise classed under the provisions of [49 CFR 173, Subpart C]. The term includes a pyrotechnic substance or article, unless the substance or article is otherwise classed under the provisions of [49 CFR 173, Subpart C]. 1 Examples of explosives are ammunition, dynamite, black powder, detonators, nitroglycerine, urea nitrate, and picric acid.

As defined by 40 CFR §261.22:

(a) A solid waste exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity if a representative sample of the waste hasthe following propert[y]:

(1) It is aqueous and has a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5.

(b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of corrosivity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D002. 2 The physical form of the waste and waste generating procedures at the sites ensure that the waste is in a nonreactive form. All waste generating sites control the procurement, distribution, use, and disposal of explosives. Most sites have lists of restricted materials that include explosives.

Typically, the TRU waste generating and storage sites do not allow explosives in the same facility as TRU waste. In addition, sampling programs for pH of inorganic sludges have shown that the sludges consistently meet the limitation on corrosives. 3 4.2.1 Requirements Explosives, corrosives, and compressed gases (pressurized containers) are prohibited from the payload.

Used (i.e., empty) aerosol cans are allowed as they do not impact the package internal pressure or flammability. Verification that any aerosol cans present in retrievably stored waste are empty shall be by radiography and/or process knowledge and shall be documented in site-specific compliance documents. Any aerosol cans that are not empty are prohibited.

4.2-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 4.2.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance shall be by one, or a combination, of the following methods:

• Visual examination of the waste

• Administrative and procurement controls

• Radiography

• Sampling program

• Review of records and database information, which may include knowledge of process.

4.2-2

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 4.3 Chemical Composition The chemical constituents allowed in a given waste material type (e.g., concreted inorganic particulate waste) are restricted so that a conservative bounding G value may be established for the gas generation potential in each waste material type.

Compliance with the lists of allowable materials in Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8 has been demonstrated for each chemical list corresponding to each content code. The assignment of any content code to a waste material type will also be conservative with respect to G values. For example, if an inorganic solid waste material type (II.1) at a site contains materials that do not comply with the materials listed in Table 4.3-4 (e.g., solid organics excluding packaging), it shall be classified as Waste Material Type III.1 (solid organics), which has twice the bounding G value, and the appropriate content code shall be applied. Similarly, Waste Material Type II.2 may only contain materials with no gas generation potential (G value of zero).

4.3.1 Requirements Chemical constituents in a payload shall conform to the lists of allowable materials in Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8. The total quantity of chemicals/materials not listed as allowed materials for a given waste material type in any payload container is restricted to less than 5 weight percent total. These materials, if present, are, in general, present as trace chemicals/materials (materials that occur individually in the waste in quantities less than 1 weight percent).

4.3.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compliance shall be by one, or a combination, of the following methods:

• Review of records and database information, which may include knowledge of process

• Administrative and procurement controls

• Sampling program.

Content codes approved by the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer comply with the chemical composition requirements. Any proposed change in process technology at a generator site for a given content code must be evaluated for compliance with the lists of allowable materials in Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8. This change shall be evaluated and approved by the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer for compliance with existing waste material type restrictions. All changes in the chemical characteristics of the waste shall be recorded, and the date of the new process, description of the process, and list of new chemicals submitted to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer may allow transport of the waste under the approved content code if none of the restrictions are violated as a result of the change.

If the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer determines that the old content code and corresponding waste material type(s) are no longer valid, the waste may be assigned to a new content code for shipment under the appropriate approved waste material type. The NRC shall be notified of any change not covered by the authorized contents as defined by this document (e.g., addition of a new waste form with a new G value) through an amendment to the CH-TRAMPAC. All 4.3-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 changes exceeding currently authorized contents shall be submitted to the NRC for review and approval prior to incorporation into a chemical list or content code.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 4.4 Chemical Compatibility The lists of allowable materials in Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8 restrict the chemical composition of the payload. The basis for evaluating chemical compatibility is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document A Method for Determining the Compatibility of Hazardous Wastes (EPA-600/2-80-076). 1 This method provides a systematic means of analyzing the chemical compatibility for specific combinations of chemical compounds and materials. Any incompatibilities between the payload and the packaging shall be evaluated separately if not covered by the EPA method.1 As described in Appendix 6.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices 2, the EPA method classifies individual chemical compounds into chemical groups and identifies the potential adverse reactions resulting from incompatible combinations of the groups.

4.4.1 Requirements Chemical compatibility shall be ensured for the following four conditions:

• Chemical compatibility of the waste form within each individual payload container

• Chemical compatibility between contents of payload containers during hypothetical accident conditions

• Chemical compatibility of the waste forms with the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT ICV

• Chemical compatibility of the waste forms with the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT O-ring seals.

4.4.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification Compatibility of all waste material types has been demonstrated for transport in the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT using the chemicals listed in Table 4.3-1 through Table 4.3-8. The restrictions imposed on the chemical constituents of the content codes approved by the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer ensure compliance with the compatibility requirements (see also Appendices 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices2). The chemical list for each content code is formally documented by the site.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.0 GAS GENERATION REQUIREMENTS Gas generation, concentrations, and pressures during transport of CH-TRU wastes in a TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT payload are restricted as follows:

• For any package containing water and/or organic substances that could radiolytically generate combustible gases, determination must be made by tests and measurements or by analysis of a representative package such that the following criterion is met over a period of time that is twice the expected shipment time (defined in Appendices 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices 1): The hydrogen generated must be limited to a molar quantity that would be no more than 5 percent by volume of the innermost layer of confinement (or equivalent limits for other inflammable gases) if present at standard temperature and pressure (i.e., no more than 0.063 gram-moles/cubic foot at 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute and 32°F).

• The gases generated in the payload and released into the ICV cavity shall be controlled to maintain the pressure within the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT ICV cavity below the acceptable design pressure of 50 pounds per square inch gauge.

The analyses presented in the TRUPACT-II 2 and HalfPACT 3 SARs show that all payloads authorized for transport in the TRUPACT-II or the HalfPACT will comply with the design pressure limit.

The design decay heat limit for the TRUPACT-II package is 40 watts. The design decay heat limit for the HalfPACT package is 30 watts. The maximum decay heat in any single payload container is limited to the design decay heat limit for the package in which it is transported with the exception of any single CCO which is limited to 20 watts.

Specific requirements associated with the restrictions on gas generation during transport of a payload are described in detail below. For Content Codes LA 154 and SQ 154, compliance with the gas generation requirements must be in accordance with Appendix 6.12 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1, which documents the analyses performed to demonstrate compliance with gas generation requirements and establishes conditions for compliance.

5.1 Payload Shipping Category The CH-TRU waste at the DOE sites has been classified into payload shipping categories to evaluate and ensure compliance with the gas generation requirements. As shown in Appendices 6.1, 6.5, and 6.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1, gas generation due to chemical, biological, and thermal mechanisms is insignificant during transport, and radiolysis is the primary mechanism for potential flammable gas generation.

5.1-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Appendix 2.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 defines the methodology for determining a payload shipping category. A shipping category is defined by the following parameters:

• Chemical composition of the waste (waste type).

• Gas generation potential of the waste material type (quantified by the G value for hydrogen, which is the number of molecules of hydrogen generated per 100 electron volts (eV) of energy absorbed). Table 5.1-1 lists the G values associated with the various waste material types for CH-TRU waste.

• Gas release resistance (type of payload container and type and maximum number of confinement layers used). Appendices 6.7 and 6.8 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 provide a complete discussion of gas release resistance.

For any given payload container, the shipping category provides a basis to determine the gas generation potential of the contents and the resistance to gas release of the packaging configuration. This enables evaluation of compliance with the gas generation requirements.

Two payload shipping category notations are available. A shipping site may use either the alpha-numeric or numeric notation. Complete descriptions of the two notations and the logic for determining payload shipping categories are presented in Appendix 2.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 5.1-2

Dose-dependent G values for waste meeting the watt*year criteria (watt*year >0.012) cannot be used if absorbed, adsorbed, or solidified aqueous materials are present in the waste (see Appendix 3.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1). Appendices 3.1 and 3.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 provide a complete discussion of G values.

Dose-dependent G values for waste meeting the watt*year criteria (watt*year >0.012) cannot be used for waste packaged in the shielded container payload container (see Appendix 3.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1).

5.1-3

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.1.1 Requirements Each payload container shall be assigned to a payload shipping category, in a content code approved by the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer, that has information on the following components:

• Waste type

• Waste material type, which defines the gas generation potential

• Total resistance to gas release by the packaging confinement layers. Total resistance has specific requirements associated with the following:

Confinement Layers: The inner layers of confinement around the waste materials in the payload containers shall be plastic bags and/or rigid containers (e.g., metal cans) with closures that meet the specifications outlined in Appendix 3.8 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Any other type of confinement layers used at the sites shall be shown, by testing or analysis, to be equivalent to one of the approved confinement layers described in Appendix 3.8. Equivalency shall be established by demonstration of a hydrogen release rate greater than or equal to the approved confinement layers.

Rigid Liner: The rigid liner and lid, if present, in a payload container shall contain a 0.3-in. minimum diameter hole, or a filter with a hydrogen release rate equivalent to or greater than a 0.3-in. minimum diameter hole. Otherwise, the liner must be treated as any other confinement layer with the associated resistance of the liner hole diameter or filter calculated in accordance with Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Shipping Period: The conditions specified in Appendix 3.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 must be met for use of the Controlled Shipment shipping period (10 days). For other shipments (not Controlled Shipments), the appropriate shipping period [60 days (Appendix 3.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1) or 20 days (Appendix 3.5 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1)] shall be applied based on the transport distance.

For each packaging configuration, a unique total resistance factor is determined by totaling the individual resistance factors (defined by Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices) for the confinement layers, the payload container (including a rigid liner, as applicable), and the load type associated with the shipping period.

5.1.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification 5.1.2.1 Numeric Shipping Category Notation For the numeric shipping category notation, compliance and verification of the shipping category requirements shall be by comparison of the shipping category with the allowable shipping 5.1-4

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 categories for the appropriate content code in the CH-TRUCON 4 document. The shipping category and content code information is recorded in the PCTCD and OPCTCD, as applicable.

5.1.2.2 Alpha-numeric Shipping Category Notation For the alpha-numeric shipping category notation, compliance and verification of the shipping category requirements shall be by comparison of the payload container data with the allowable shipping categories from the appropriate content code in the CH-TRUCON document. The shipping category and content code information is recorded in the PCTCD and OPCTCD, as applicable.

5.1.2.3 Compliance with Specific Requirements for Total Resistance The following paragraphs outline the methods of compliance and verification for confinement layers, rigid liner, and the shipping period.

Confinement Layers Radiography, visual examination, administrative and procedural controls, or a combination of these methods may be used to demonstrate that the method of closure for each layer of confinement is in accordance with Appendix 3.8 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The waste generation procedures shall specify the maximum number of confinement layers for each waste container. The maximum number of layers may be determined from the waste management practices in use at the time the waste was packaged and available records and database information.

Rigid Liner The requirements for the rigid liner shall be met by procurement controls and site QA procedures. Venting of the lid of a liner (along with the minimum diameter of the hole in the liner) may be controlled administratively (i.e., buying only punctured liners) or by visual examination of the liner prior to closure. Alternatively, radiography or sampling programs and existing records may be used to verify that the liner meets the requirements.

Shipping Period The requirements for the use of the Controlled Shipment (10 days) shipping period shall be met by administrative and procedural controls as specified in Appendix 3.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 and Section 6.2.3. No specific conditions exist for the use of the shipping periods defined in Appendices 3.4 and 3.5 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 A given payload container may be conservatively assigned to a payload shipping category of an approved CH-TRUCON code if the combination of the actual packaging configuration and the shipping conditions result in a total resistance and/or overall shipping conditions that are bound by the assigned payload shipping category.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2 Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limits 5.2.1 Requirements As discussed in Appendices 6.1, 6.5, and 6.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices 1, the primary mechanism for potential flammable gas generation in TRU wastes is radiolysis. TRU wastes to be transported in the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT are restricted so that no flammable mixtures can occur in any layer of confinement during shipment. While the predominant flammable gas of concern is hydrogen, the presence of methane and flammable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is also limited along with hydrogen to ensure the absence of flammable (gas/VOC) mixtures in TRU waste payloads.

5.2.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification The evaluation of compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits occurs under either the analytical category or the test category.

Compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits can be demonstrated under the analytical category if the payload container meets both of the following:

• The total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs within the payload container headspace is less than or equal to 500 parts per million (ppm)

• The payload container is classified as Waste Types I (10), II (20), or III (30).

If the payload container headspace exceeds 500 ppm flammable VOCs or is classified as Waste Type IV, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) concentration limits must be demonstrated under the test category.

If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of payload containers of the same shipping category, compliance with the analytical decay heat limit specified per container based on the payload shipping category is required. Except for payload containers containing puck drums, if the payload container meets the analytical decay heat limit, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits is ensured. The analytical decay heat limit for each shipping category is described in Section 5.2.3.

Each payload container containing puck drums that meets the analytical decay heat limit must additionally undergo compliance evaluation under the test category based on measurement of the headspace gas. For analytical category payload containers containing puck drums, compliance with the gas generation requirements must be in accordance with the test category measurement methodology detailed in Appendix 6.14 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.

If the payload container exceeds the analytical decay heat limit, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits may be demonstrated through mixing in a payload assembly of different shipping categories as described in Section 6.2.4. Alternatively, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits may be demonstrated under the test category, as described below.

5.2-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits is demonstrated under the test category if the payload container falls into one or more of the following:

• The total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs within the payload container headspace exceeds 500 ppm. Waste Types I (10), II (20), and III (30) belong in this category.

• The total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs within the payload container headspace is less than or equal to 500 ppm, but the decay heat loading of the payload container exceeds the analytical limit for the shipping category of the payload container. Waste Types I (10), II (20), and III (30) belong in this category.

• A waste form does not have a fully characterized bounding G value from previous sampling or waste stream analysis. Waste Type IV (40) belongs in this category.

For test category payload containers of Waste Types I (10), II (20), and III (30), the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits may be based on measurement of the headspace gas, as described in Section 5.2.5.3.

If compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits cannot be demonstrated by measurement or the payload container is Waste Type IV (40), the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits may be based on the results of testing, as described in Section 5.2.5.4. Testing as described in Section 5.2.5.4 is not an option for test category shielded containers.

The implementation of compliance methods summarized above for flammable (gas/VOC) limits is detailed in Sections 5.2.2.1 through 5.2.2.5 and illustrated in Figure 5.2-1 through Figure 5.2-7.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.2.1 Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits Figure 5.2-1 presents the logic for performing the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits by analysis, which consists of the following steps:

Step 1a , Payload Container Data Package - The starting point for compliance evaluation by analysis is the payload container data package, which includes all data associated with the payload container. These data are gathered from one or more of the methods of payload compliance listed and defined in Section 1.4 (i.e., visual examination, visual inspection, radiography, records and database information, administrative and procurement controls, sampling programs, and measurement).

Step 1b , Flammable VOCs 500 ppm - Can it be established that the concentration of flammable VOCs present in the headspace of the payload container is 500 ppm? The concentration of flammable VOCs present in the headspace of the payload container is determined based on the information contained in the payload container data package. Data used to make this determination consist of process knowledge (e.g., knowledge of waste generation processes and chemical and material inputs to the process) and may include results from a headspace gas sampling program. A list of flammable VOCs is presented in Section 5.2.4. If a concentration of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace of less than or equal to 500 ppm cannot be established based on the payload container data package, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 1c , Drum Age Criteria. If it can be determined based on available data that no flammable VOCs are present in the payload container, or if it can be established that the total flammable VOC concentration in the payload container headspace is less than or equal to 500 ppm, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 1d , Waste Type.

Note: For compliance with the analytical category limit on VOC concentration, VOC absorbing or adsorbing material (such as granular activated carbon to adsorb carbon tetrachloride) may be placed in a payload container provided that site personnel can verify or demonstrate the following through testing, analysis, or knowledge of the process:

1. The absorbent/adsorbent remains effective in retaining VOCs from the time of waste packaging through the end of the maximum shipping period in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT,

2. A flammable mixture of gases does not exist in the innermost layer of confinement, and

3. The total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs does not exceed 500 ppm in the headspace of a payload container.

Step 1c , Drum Age Criteria - If a payload container headspace concentration of flammable VOCs 500 ppm cannot be established based on the payload container data package, the flammable VOC concentration of the payload container headspace must be measured in accordance with the logic presented in Figure 5.2-2 and Section 5.2.2.2, Drum Age Criteria for Flammable VOC Measurement.

Step 1d , Waste Type - What is the waste type assigned to the payload container? If the payload container under evaluation is classified as Waste Type IV (unknown G value), it belongs 5.2-10

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 in the Test Category, and the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits shall proceed to Step 1e , Testing. If the payload container under evaluation is classified as Waste Type I, II, or III, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 1f , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category.

Step 1e , Testing - If the payload container under evaluation is classified as Waste Type IV, the compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated through testing performed in accordance with the logic presented in Figure 5.2-4, Figure 5.2-7, and Section 5.2.2.4, Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Testing.

Step 1f , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category - Does the payload container proposed belong to the same shipping category as the other containers proposed for payload assembly? If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 1g , MixCat. If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of payload containers of the same shipping category, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 1h , Decay Heat Analytical Limit.

Step 1g , MixCat - If the payload container is proposed for shipment with containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed as presented in Figure 5.2-5 and Section 5.2.2.5, Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Mixing of Shipping Categories in a Payload Assembly.

Step 1h , Decay Heat Analytical Limit - Does the payload container exceed the analytical decay heat limit? For applicable payload containers (i.e., Waste Types I, II, or III with flammable VOCs less than or equal to 500 ppm in the headspace and proposed for shipment with containers belonging to the same shipping category), compliance with the analytical decay heat limit may be evaluated. The derivation of decay heat limits for shipping categories is presented in Section 5.2.3. If the payload container exceeds the analytical decay heat limit, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 1i , Measurement. If the payload container meets the decay heat limit, the flammable (gas/VOC) limits are met and the compliance evaluation is complete (see Step 1j , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits).

Step 1i , Measurement - If a payload container exceeds the analytical decay heat limit, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated through headspace gas measurement performed in accordance with the logic presented in Figure 5.2-3, Figure 5.2-6, and Section 5.2.2.3, Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Measurement.

Step 1j , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits - All payload containers reaching this step meet the flammable (gas/VOC) limits and are eligible for shipment if all other transportation requirements are satisfied.

5.2.2.2 Drum Age Criteria for Flammable VOC Measurement If a payload container headspace concentration of flammable VOCs 500 ppm cannot be established based on the payload container data package (as determined in Step 1b of Figure 5.2-1), the flammable VOC concentration of the payload container headspace must be measured.

5.2-11

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Figure 5.2-2 presents the logic for the compliance evaluation for drum age criteria (DAC) and flammable VOC measurement, which consists of the following steps:

Step 2a , Payload Container Meets Drum Age Criteria for Flammable VOC Measurement - Does the payload container meet the DAC for measurement of headspace flammable VOCs? The methodology and logic for determining DAC values for payload containers is specified in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 and Section 5.2.4.

If the payload container has not yet met the DAC specified for the applicable packaging configuration, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2b , Determine Steady-State Headspace Flammable VOC Concentration. If the payload container meets the applicable DAC, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2c , Flammable VOCs 500 ppm.

Step 2b , Determine Steady-State Headspace Flammable VOC Concentration - If the payload container has not yet met the DAC specified for the applicable packaging configuration, the 90-percent steady-state headspace flammable VOC concentration must be determined from the measured concentration as described in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Following the determination of this value, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2c , Flammable VOCs 500 ppm.

Step 2c , Flammable VOCs 500 ppm - Is the headspace flammable VOC concentration less than or equal to 500 ppm? If the measured or calculated steady-state payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration is less than or equal to 500 ppm (i.e., VOC contribution to flammability is expected to be negligible), the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2f , Update Payload Container Data Package. If the steady-state payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration exceeds 500 ppm, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2d , Apply Prediction Factors to Determine Flammable VOC Concentration in Inner Confinement Layer and Update Payload Container Data Package.

Step 2d , Apply Prediction Factors to Determine Flammable VOC Concentration in Inner Confinement Layer and Update Payload Container Data Package - If the steady-state payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration exceeds 500 ppm, the payload container belongs in the test category. Prediction factors shall be applied, as described in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1, to determine flammable VOC concentration in the innermost confinement layer. Following the application of the prediction factors, the payload container data package shall be updated and the evaluation shall proceed to Step 2e ,

Measurement.

Step 2e , Measurement - If a payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration exceeds 500 ppm and the prediction factor has been applied to determine the flammable VOC concentration in the innermost confinement layer, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated through headspace gas measurement performed in accordance with the logic presented in Figure 5.2-3, Figure 5.2-6, and Section 5.2.2.3, Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Measurement.

Step 2f , Update Payload Container Data Package - If the measured or calculated steady-state payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration is less than or equal to 500 ppm, the data package for the payload container shall be updated, and the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 2g , Start.

5.2-12

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Step 2g , Start - Following the documentation of the payload container headspace flammable VOC concentration of less than or equal to 500 ppm, the compliance evaluation shall start again as described in Figure 5.2-1 and Section 5.2.2.1, Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits.

5.2.2.3 Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Measurement If the payload container under evaluation exceeds the analytical decay heat limit (as determined in Step 1h of Figure 5.2-1) or if the concentration of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace exceeds 500 ppm (as determined in Step 2c of Figure 5.2-2), the container belongs in the test category. One option under the test category consists of evaluation based on measurement of the payload container headspace flammable (gas/VOC) concentration. Figure 5.2-3 and Figure 5.2-6 present the logic for performing the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits by measurement, which consists of the following steps:

Step 3a , CH4 1,250 ppm - Is the payload container headspace methane concentration less than or equal to 1,250 ppm? The concentration of methane present in the headspace of the payload container must be measured in accordance with the headspace measurement methods discussed in Section 5.2.5. If the payload container headspace methane concentration exceeds 1,250 ppm, the payload container cannot be approved for shipment in its current condition.

Mitigation measures must be taken under Step 3b , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package. If the payload container headspace methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm (ensuring that methane contribution to flammability is negligible), the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 3d , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category.

Step 3b , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package - If the payload container headspace methane concentration exceeds 1,250 ppm, the payload container is not eligible for shipment and must be segregated for repackaging, treatment, or other mitigation measures.

Following the completion of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 3c , Start.

Step 3c , Start - Following the completion and documentation of mitigation measures to ensure that the payload container headspace methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm, the compliance evaluation shall start again as described in Figure 5.2-1 and Section 5.2.2.1, Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits.

Step 3d , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category - Does the payload container proposed belong to the same shipping category as the other containers proposed for payload assembly? If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 3e , MixCat. If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of payload containers of the same shipping category, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 3f , Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limit.

Step 3e , MixCat - If the payload container is proposed for shipment with containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed as presented in Figure 5.2-5 and Section 5.2.2.5, Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Mixing of Shipping Categories in a Payload Assembly.

5.2-13

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Step 3f , Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limit - Is the sum of the flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations less than or equal to the mixture lower explosive limit (MLEL)? If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of payload containers of the same shipping category, the flammable (gas/VOC) concentration within the innermost layer of confinement must be determined using the measured headspace flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations and the time history of the payload container, as described in Section 5.2.5.3 and Figure 5.2-6. A specific MLEL shall be calculated for the payload container, as described in Section 5.2.5.3.5 and Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Per Figure 5.2-6, if the sum of the flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations in the innermost layer of confinement exceeds the MLEL, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 3g , Testing.

If the sum of the flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations in the innermost layer of confinement is less than or equal to the MLEL, the flammable (gas/VOC) limits are met and the compliance evaluation is complete (see Step 3h , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits).

Step 3g , Testing - If the sum of the flammable (gas/VOC) concentration in the innermost layer of confinement exceeds the MLEL, the compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated through testing performed in accordance with the logic presented in Figure 5.2-4, Figure 5.2-7, and Section 5.2.2.4, Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC)

Limits by Testing.

Step 3h , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits - All payload containers reaching this step meet the flammable (gas/VOC) limits and are eligible for shipment if all other transportation requirements are satisfied.

5.2.2.4 Test Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Testing If the payload container under evaluation belongs to Waste Type IV (as determined in Step 1d of Figure 5.2-1) or if the flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations exceed the MLEL (as determined in Step 3f of Figure 5.2-3), the container belongs in the test category, and compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated by testing. Exception: Compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits for shielded containers shall not be evaluated by testing. Because testing is the only method of qualification for Waste Type IV containers, Waste Type IV is not allowed in shielded containers.

Figure 5.2-4 and Figure 5.2-7 present the logic for performing the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits by testing, which consists of the following steps:

Step 4a , CH4 1,250 ppm - Is the payload container headspace methane concentration less than or equal to 1,250 ppm? The concentration of methane present in the headspace of the payload container must be measured in accordance with the headspace measurement methods discussed in Section 5.2.5. If the payload container headspace methane concentration exceeds 1,250 ppm, the payload container cannot be approved for shipment in its current condition.

Mitigation measures must be taken under Step 4b , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package. If the payload container headspace methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm (ensuring that methane contribution to flammability is negligible), the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 4d , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category.

Step 4b , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package - If the payload container headspace methane concentration exceeds 1,250 ppm, the payload container is not eligible for 5.2-14

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 shipment and must be segregated for repackaging, treatment, or other mitigation measures.

Following the completion of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 4c , Start.

Step 4c , Start - Following the completion and documentation of mitigation measures to ensure that the payload container headspace methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm, the compliance evaluation shall start again as described in Figure 5.2-1 and Section 5.2.2.1, Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits.

Step 4d , All Payload Containers Same Shipping Category - Does the payload container proposed belong to the same shipping category as the other containers proposed for payload assembly? If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 4e , MixCat. If the payload container is proposed for shipment in a payload assembly comprised of payload containers of the same shipping category, the evaluation shall proceed to Step 4f , Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limit.

Step 4e , MixCat - If the payload container is proposed for shipment with containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed as presented in Figure 5.2-5 and Section 5.2.2.5, Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Mixing of Shipping Categories in a Payload Assembly.

Step 4f , Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limits - Is the sum of flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations less than or equal to the MLEL? The flammable gas concentration within the innermost layer of confinement of the container must be determined using the data from the testing, as described in Section 5.2.5.4.5 and Figure 5.2-7. A specific MLEL must be calculated for the container, as described in Section 5.2.5.4.5. Per Figure 5.2-7, if the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations exceeds the MLEL, the container does not comply with flammable (gas/VOC) limits. Mitigation measures must then be taken under Step 4g , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package. If the flammable (gas/VOC) concentration is less than or equal to the MLEL, the flammable (gas/VOC) limits are met, and the compliance evaluation is complete (see Step 4i , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits).

Step 4g , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package - If the flammable (gas/VOC) concentration determined from the testing exceeds the MLEL, the container is not eligible for shipment and must be segregated for repackaging, treatment, or other mitigation measures. Following the completion of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 4h , Start.

Step 4h , Start - Following the completion and documentation of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall start again as described in Figure 5.2-1 and Section 5.2.2.1, Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits.

Step 4i , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits - All containers reaching this step meet the flammable (gas/VOC) limits and are eligible for shipment if all other transportation requirements are satisfied.

5.2-15

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.2.5 Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits by Mixing of Shipping Categories in a Payload Assembly If the payload container under evaluation is proposed for shipment with containers of different shipping categories and/or dunnage containers (as determined in Step 1f of Figure 5.2-1, Step 3d of Figure 5.2-3, or Step 4d of Figure 5.2-4), the compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits must be evaluated for each container in the payload assembly. This method accounts for the use of dunnage containers to assemble the payload.

Figure 5.2-5 presents the logic for performing the compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits for the use of mixing of shipping categories in a payload assembly, which consists of the following steps:

Step 5a , Data Packages for Containers in Proposed Payload Assembly - The starting point for compliance evaluation for mixing of shipping categories in a payload assembly is the data packages for all payload containers proposed for inclusion in the payload.

Step 5b , Flammability Index for Each Container in Assembly 50,000 - Is the flammability index (FI) for each container proposed for inclusion in the payload assembly a non-negative number 50,000? For each payload container, an FI must be calculated as the ratio of the actual flammable gas generation rate to the allowable flammable gas generation rate limit multiplied by 50,000. Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 describes the methodology for determining the FI for payload assemblies with mixed shipping categories. If the FI for any payload container is a negative number or exceeds 50,000, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 5c , Reconfigure Payload Assembly. If the FI for each payload container in the payload assembly is a non-negative number less than or equal to 50,000, the flammable (gas/VOC) limits are met and the compliance evaluation is complete (see Step 5h , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits).

Step 5c , Reconfigure Payload Assembly - Can the payload assembly be reconfigured by proposing a different combination of payload containers? If the proposed payload assembly cannot be reconfigured, compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits cannot be met for the proposed payload assembly. Mitigation measures must be taken under Step 5d , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package. If the proposed payload assembly can be reconfigured with a different assembly of containers, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 5f ,

Compile Data Packages for Revised Payload Assembly.

Step 5d , Mitigate and Update Payload Container Data Package - If the payload assembly cannot be reconfigured, the payload is not eligible for shipment and the payload containers exceeding the FI in the proposed payload assembly must be segregated for repackaging, treatment, or other mitigation measures. Following the completion of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 5e , Start.

Step 5e , Start - Following the completion and documentation of mitigation measures, the compliance evaluation shall start again as described in Figure 5.2-1 and Section 5.2.2.1, Analytical Category: Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits.

5.2-16

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Step 5f , Compile Data Packages for Revised Payload Assembly - Following the compilation of the data packages for payload containers comprising the reconfigured payload assembly, the compliance evaluation shall proceed to Step 5g , To Step 5a Above.

Step 5g , To Step 5a Above - The evaluation of the reconfigured payload assembly shall start again under Step 5a , Data Packages for Containers in Proposed Payload Assembly.

Step 5h , Payload Container Meets Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limits - All payload assemblies reaching this step meet the flammable (gas/VOC) limits and are eligible for shipment if all other transportation requirements are satisfied.

5.2.3 Hydrogen Gas Generation Rate and Decay Heat Limits for Analytical Category The maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate limit and decay heat limit, which will limit the concentration of hydrogen gas within any layer of confinement to less than or equal to 5% by volume, may be determined for alpha-numeric and numeric shipping categories.

Appendix 2.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 presents the methodology used for deriving the limits for alpha-numeric shipping categories and the derivations of the formulas used to calculate the limits for numeric shipping categories. Appendix 6.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 describes the temperature dependence of hydrogen gas generation and release rates.

Appendix 6.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 documents the effect on decay heat limits of overpacking containers.

Table 5.2-1 lists the limits for approved alpha-numeric shipping categories.

For numeric shipping categories that do not have a corresponding alpha-numeric shipping category listed in Table 5.2-1, the procedure for determining limits is presented here. The method for calculating the decay heat limit and gas generation limit for numeric shipping categories is simple and conservative to provide a direct correlation between shipping category and the limits.

The numeric shipping category notation (as described in Appendix 2.1 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1) is in the form of XX YYYY ZZZZ, where XX represents the waste type, YYYY represents the G value (multiplied by 100), and ZZZZ represents the total resistance, RT, (divided by 10,000 and rounded up). The hydrogen gas generation rate limit per innermost layer of confinement, CG, and the decay heat limit per innermost layer of confinement, Qi, are determined by the following equations:

0.05 CG =

sec (ZZZZ *10,000) mole and molecules watt

• sec (4824.42)

• Qi = mole eV sec

• molecules (ZZZZ

• YYYY) mole

• eV 5.2-17

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 For example, for shipping category 10 0040 0160, substituting 0040 for YYYY and 0160 for ZZZZ yields:

0.05 CG = = 3.125 x 10 -8 mole/sec sec (0160 *10,000) mole molecules watt

• sec (4824.42)

• Qi = mole eV = 0.7538 watts sec

• molecules (0160

• 0040) mole

• eV 5.2-18

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.4 Drum Age Criteria 5.2.4.1 Introduction If a concentration of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace of less than or equal to 500 ppm cannot be established based on waste generation procedures or records of process knowledge, headspace gas sampling for flammable VOCs in accordance with Section 5.2.5 is required. Prior to performing headspace sampling, DACs need to be met for headspace samples to be valid. DACs are estimates of time required for VOCs in a payload container to reach 90 percent of the equilibrium steady-state concentration within the different layers of confinement.

Alternately, the headspace sample taken before the DAC has been met can be used to determine the 90% steady-state concentration in a waste container. The 90% steady-state concentration can then be correlated to the VOC concentration in the innermost layer of confinement by the use of prediction factors (PFs), which are multipliers to be applied to the headspace concentration. The methodology used for determining the steady-state (90%) VOC concentration from DACs (or measurement) and PFs is based on Liekhus et al., October 2000. 2 Three options are available:

Option 1 No DACs Required. If the concentration of flammable VOCs in a payload container can be shown to be less than or equal to 500 ppm from the waste generation procedures or records of process knowledge, then no DACs or PFs are required. If the concentration of flammable VOCs cannot be determined from the waste generation procedures or the records of process knowledge, headspace sampling must be performed and Option 2 or Option 3 below must be used.

Option 2 Assignment of DACs for Common Packaging Configurations. DACs for common representative packaging configurations used for CH-TRU waste at the sites are presented in look-up tables. Under Option 2, there are three container venting and sampling scenarios. Option 2 and the associated scenarios and look-up tables are discussed in detail in Section 5.2.4.2.

Option 3 Calculation of Steady-State VOC Concentrations for Specific Packaging Configurations. For specific packaging configurations not covered by Option 2, the steady-state VOC concentration can be determined based on sampling (measurement) using the methodology described in Liekhus et al., October 2000.2 Option 3 is described in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Figure 5.2-8 presents a flowchart for determining the appropriate option. A list of flammable VOCs identified by the sites in CH-TRU waste is provided as Table 5.2-2. If additional flammable VOCs (i.e., not listed in Table 5.2-2) are identified in concentrations greater than 500 ppm total, Section 5.2.5.3.2 specifies a formalized process for including these VOCs in the analysis for compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits.

5.2.4.2 Assignment of DACs for Common Packaging Configurations The derivation of the DACs for Option 2 is based on specific packaging configurations and waste types commonly used at the TRU waste sites. Considering only the number of layers of confinement, the common packaging configurations currently described in the CH-TRUCON document 3 can be bound by the packaging configurations presented in Table 5.2-3.

For example, a packaging configuration consisting of a single plastic bag in a 55-gallon drum for Waste Type II or III could be conservatively placed into Configuration 2 (i.e., the DAC for a packaging configuration consisting of 1 inner bag would be less than or equal to that for 3 inner bags and 1 liner bag). Similarly, a configuration of 2 inner bags and 2 liner bags in a 55-gallon drum for these waste types would be assigned to Configuration 3. In addition, filtered bag layers are also conservatively assigned to the configurations in Table 5.2-3. For example, a configuration of Waste Type II with 3 filtered inner bags and 1 filtered liner bag in a 55-gallon drum is bounded by Packaging Configuration 2.

For Waste Types I and IV in 55-gallon drums, one or two liner bags are the configurations most commonly used. The DAC analysis conservatively assumes for solidified wastes that only the top of the liner bag is available for VOC transport. The presence of inner bags makes the entire liner bag area available and hence the DACs are bound by the configurations in Table 5.2-3.2 Any site requiring the transportation of TRU waste in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT that cannot be covered under a packaging configuration included in Table 5.2-3 must request the determination of an appropriate DAC by submitting a request in writing to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer.

The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer shall assign a conservative DAC for a packaging configuration not covered under Table 5.2-3 using the governing equations and methodology.2,4 Compliance with all other transportation requirements of the CH-TRAMPAC document shall also be demonstrated. The WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer does not have the authority to change the transportation requirements for the TRUPACT-II or the HalfPACT as specified in the CH-TRAMPAC document without approval from the NRC. Section 1.5 describes the process for WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer approval of new packaging configurations as part of the TRUCON code approval process.

DACs are defined for three unique venting and sampling scenarios. These venting and sampling scenarios are defined by the time elapsed after container closure and venting, as follows:

t1 = time (days) elapsed after container closure until venting 4

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 t2 = time (days) elapsed after venting.

Scenario 1: The drum liner headspace (under liner lid) can be sampled at the time of venting if t1 is greater than DAC1. The drum age criterion DAC1 is defined as the time for a representative VOC to reach a concentration of at least 90% of its equilibrium concentration before drum venting. Table 5.2-4 presents the DAC1 values.

Table 5.2 DAC1 Values (in Days)

Waste Type DAC1 (days)

Waste Types I and IV 127 Waste Types II and III 53 Scenario 2: For drums generated in an unvented condition and subsequently vented, the drum headspace can be sampled in a vented drum if t1 is greater than DAC1 and t2 is greater than DAC2.

The drum age criterion DAC2 is defined as the time for a representative VOC to reach a headspace concentration of at least 90% of its steady-state concentration after venting a waste drum that was unvented for at least DAC1. DAC2 values are calculated for the two categories of waste types under Scenario 1 with four different opening sizes in the punctured drum liner lid and three different drum filter diffusivities.

In other words, under this scenario, if the drum has remained in an unvented condition for a period of at least 53 days for Waste Types II and III and 127 days for Waste Types I and IV, equilibration of VOCs is complete inside the drum. When the drum is subsequently vented, a time period for the appropriate DAC2 listed in Table 5.2-5 or Table 5.2-6 is needed before sampling to ensure reequilibration between the liner and the drum headspace.

Scenario 3: If t1 is less than DAC1 when the container is vented, the container headspace can be sampled when t2 is greater than DAC3. Also, for newly generated payload containers that were vented at the time of generation, the container headspace can be sampled after DAC3 has been exceeded.

The drum age criterion DAC3 is defined as the time for a representative VOC to reach a headspace concentration of at least 90% of its steady-state concentration. DAC3 values are calculated for the two categories of waste types each with different packaging configurations, different opening sizes in the drum liner lid as well as the case of no rigid liner inside the drum, and different filter diffusivities. The appropriate DAC3 values are listed in Table 5.2-7 and Table 5.2-8.

Because direct load TDOPs require a greater minimum hydrogen diffusivity value than SWBs, the SWB packaging configurations (Packaging Configurations 5 and 6) bound the direct load TDOP packaging configurations. Packaging Configuration 6 also includes bin overpack configurations with the headspace sample taken inside the bin.

Packaging Configuration 7 describes 85- and 100-gallon drums with a vented inner lid and no additional inner layers of confinement and no rigid liners. Sampling is performed between the inner and outer lids or inside the inner lid. The DAC values for an 85- or 100-gallon drum with no additional inner layers of confinement and no rigid liner are listed in Table 5.2-7 and Table 5.2-8. If a 100-gallon drum contains a compacted 55-gallon drum containing a rigid drum liner, the 55-gallon drum must meet the appropriate 55-gallon drum DAC (DAC3), listed in Table 5.2-7 or Table 5.2-8, to ensure that VOC solubility associated with the presence of the 55-gallon rigid drum liner does not impact the DAC for the 100-gallon drum.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.5 Unified Flammable Gas Test Procedure 5.2.5.1 Introduction CH-TRU wastes to be transported in the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT packages fall into one of two categories based on their gas generation potentialanalytical category waste or test category waste. The wastes that can be qualified for shipment based on decay heat limits derived from theoretical worst-case calculations of gas generation potential comprise the analytical category. The CH-TRU waste containers that exceed the applicable decay heat limits set for the analytical category, or that exceed 500 ppm of flammable VOCs in the headspace, or that do not have an established theoretical bounding gas generation rate (G value),

belong in the test category. The Unified Flammable Gas Test Procedure (UFGTP) details the methodology used to evaluate compliance of test category wastes with flammable (gas/VOC) limits.

5.2.5.1.1 Purpose This UFGTP provides the technical basis for determining whether a test category payload container demonstrates compliance with the flammable (gas/VOC) limits. It also provides instructions for the methodology by which each test activity will be performed. The first, or short-term, objective of the UFGTP is to facilitate shipment of waste in the test category by testing individual payload containers to show compliance with the flammable gas generation and concentration requirements. The second, or long-term, objective is to improve waste shippability for specific populations or subpopulations of waste by arriving at more realistic gas generation rates based on the results of measurement and testing. The process for implementation of the long-term objective is defined in the UFGTP Long-Term Objective Implementation Methodology 5 and described in Section 5.2.5.5.

5.2.5.1.2 Applicability This procedure applies to individual containers of CH-TRU waste that fall into the test category.

Containers are placed into the test category if they fall into one of the following classifications.

• The decay heat loading of the waste container exceeds the analytical category decay heat limit for the shipping category of that payload container and the total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs within the container headspace is less than or equal to 500 ppm. Payload containers in Waste Types I (10), II (20), and III (30) belong in this category.

• The total concentration of potentially flammable VOCs within the container headspace exceeds 500 ppm. Payload containers in Waste Type I (10), II (20), and III (30) belong in this category.

• A waste process does not have a fully characterized bounding G value from previous sampling or waste stream analysis. Payload containers in Waste Type IV (40) belong to this category. Waste Type IV is not authorized in shielded containers.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.5.2 Summary of Procedure The UFGTP details the methodology used to evaluate the compliance of test category wastes with flammable (gas/VOC) rate and concentration limits. As described in Section 5.2.2 of this document, the evaluation of compliance of test category wastes with the limits is carried out through the use of one of two methods:

• Measurement

• Testing.

The procedure outlined in this document is valid to show compliance on a per container basis assuming that each container will be assembled into a payload with payload containers belonging to the same payload shipping category, as defined in Section 5.1 of this document. Compliance evaluation requirements for payloads with multiple shipping categories and/or dunnage containers are described separately in Sections 6.2.4 and 6.2.5 of this document. Data obtained from this procedure may be used in the mixing methodology for compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits described in Section 6.2.4 and the evaluation for compliance with payload total gas release rate limits described in Section 6.2.5.

The compliance evaluation methods for test category waste are presented in Figure 5.2-6 and Figure 5.2-7 and are described below.

Measurement This consists of using a headspace gas measurement (taken under the container lid, liner lid, or pipe component lid) along with the waste packaging configuration and history of the container to demonstrate compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits. This is applicable to test category wastes of Waste Types I, II, and III that exceed decay heat limits and/or exceed 500 ppm flammable VOCs in the headspace of the payload container as indicated by Steps 1i and 2e in Figure 5.2-1 and Figure 5.2-2, respectively. The headspace concentrations of the flammable gases and the time history of the payload containers are used to determine the gas/VOC concentrations in the innermost confinement layer. The flammable gas generation rates are determined from these measured concentrations using analytical solutions as discussed in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The headspace concentrations of the flammable VOCs are used to calculate the concentrations in the innermost confinement layers using PFs determined as described in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The headspace flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations are also used to determine compliance with the MLEL as discussed in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 The headspace concentrations of methane are evaluated for compliance with the screening limit of 1,250 ppm. Compliance with the allowable flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations using headspace gas measurement is described in detail in Figure 5.2-6 and Section 5.2.5.3.

For all containers, flammable (gas/VOC) concentrations may be measured in an inner layer of confinement rather than the payload container headspace.

If the headspace of the outermost (overpacking) payload container of an overpacked configuration with multiple containers (drums in an SWB) is measured, the packaging configuration must be described as a direct load configuration in order to apply the limits specified in this section.

5.2-34

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Testing The test method consists of performing container tests to determine compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits. This method is applicable to test category wastes that fail the measurement criteria and containers that do not have a bounding G value (i.e., Waste Type IV) as indicated by Steps 1e and 3g in Figure 5.2-1 and Figure 5.2-3, respectively. Sites may choose to implement testing in place of measurement to qualify test category wastes for shipment. Compliance with the allowable flammable gas generation rates and VOC concentrations using testing is described in detail in Figure 5.2-7 and Section 5.2.5.4.

If the test method is performed on the outermost (overpacking) payload container of an overpacked configuration with multiple containers (drums in an SWB), the packaging configuration must be described as a direct load configuration in order to apply the limits specified in this section.

Note: Compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits for shielded containers shall not be evaluated by testing. Because testing is the only method of qualification for Waste Type IV containers, Waste Type IV is not allowed in shielded containers.

5.2.5.3 Procedure for Measurement Compliance with transportation requirements through either measurement or testing shall either be documented on the CH-TRU Waste Test Category Payload Container Data Sheet (the Data Sheet) (Table 5.2-12) or shall be compiled through the use of a verified/validated software package based on the methodology presented in this section and in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If documented manually, Table 5.2-12 may be reformatted for site purposes, but all information on the data sheet shall be retained. If sections of the data sheet are not applicable, mark as such (e.g., not applicable or NA). Record the identification parameters identified in Section 1 of the Data Sheet prior to proceeding to the other sections.

If a verified/validated software package is used, the necessary data shall be input and recorded to assess transportation compliance and Table 5.2-12 need not be completed.

The compliance evaluation for flammable (gas/VOC) limits by measurement is as described below:

5.2.5.3.1 Determine Compliance with Methane Screening Limit

[A] Determine the headspace concentration of methane. The headspace measurement methods and the associated QA requirements are discussed in the Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) for the TRUPACT-II Gas Generation Test Program. 6

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020

[C] Compare the methane concentration to the 1,250 ppm screening limit. Indicate on the Data Sheet by (Yes/No) if the methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm.

(The rationale for the methane screening limit is provided below.)

Position: A methane screening limit or concentration of 1,250 ppm in the container headspace should be used in flammability evaluations. If the container headspace methane concentration is below this screening limit, the concentration of methane should be added to the hydrogen concentration and the flammable gas generation rate should be determined. If the concentration is above the screening limit, the container is not eligible for shipment and the container shall be either repackaged or mitigation measures shall be adopted.

Rationale: Although the term flammable gases includes both hydrogen and methane, gas measurement data suggest methane is either not present or is present in very low concentrations. Laboratory analysis of methane concentration in the container headspace to date has been performed on approximately 14,000 CH-TRU waste containers representing a broad spectrum of TRU waste content codes. In only two cases has methane been detected at concentrations greater than 1,000 ppm. Methods currently used by the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site and proposed for use for determining methane concentration in the headspace have minimum detection limits that range from 25 to 500 ppm. Other instruments (e.g., gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector or with thermal conductivity detector) have minimum detection limits ranging from 5 to 100 ppm. All of these instruments will provide data of adequate accuracy and precision to determine if the 1,250 ppm methane screening limit has been met.

The 1,250 ppm methane screening limit concentration is equivalent to:

• 2.5% of the methane lower explosive limit of 5 percent by volume

• Fraction of the methane contribution to the flammable gas G value for polyethylene (i.e., [0.1 molecules methane/100 eV] / [4.1 molecules flammable gas /100 eV] or 2.4%).

If the methane concentration exceeds the 1,250 ppm screening limit, the payload container is not eligible for shipment and cannot be tested under this procedure and must be segregated for repackaging or other mitigation measures. If the methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm, and if flammable VOCs could be present at concentrations greater than 500 ppm in the payload container headspace based on process knowledge (Step 1b , Figure 5.2-1), proceed to Section 5.2.5.3.2. Otherwise, mark the appropriate box in Section 3 of the Data Sheet that shows that flammable VOCs in the headspace are less than or equal to 500 ppm and proceed to Section 5.2.5.3.3.

5.2.5.3.2 Determine Concentration of Flammable VOCs Using PFs

[A] Based on the methodology presented in Section 5.2.4, determine the payload container headspace concentration (90% steady-state) from the headspace measurement for each of the flammable VOCs listed in Table 5.2-2. If additional flammable VOCs (i.e., not listed in Table 5.2-2) are identified in concentrations greater than 500 ppm total, the following process shall be used to include these VOCs in the analysis for compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits.

5.2-36

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Each flammable VOC not listed in Table 5.2-2 will be identified by name and corresponding Chemical Abstracts Service number. A list of these VOCs shall be submitted by the shipper to the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer for evaluation. For each VOC, the WIPP CH-TRU Payload Engineer will direct the evaluation of required physical and chemical properties in order to calculate the PF using the methodology documented in Appendix 3.9 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices and the Group Contribution Factor (GCF) using the methodology documented in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Record the measured concentration in units of ppm for each flammable VOC and for the sum of flammable VOCs (Section 3 of the Data Sheet). If the sum of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace is less than or equal to 500 ppm, proceed to Section 5.2.5.3.3. Otherwise, proceed to Step B.

[B] For each flammable VOC, multiply the flammable VOC concentration in the payload container headspace by the appropriate PF to predict the concentration of each flammable VOC within the innermost confinement layer. The PFs are determined for the payload container based on its packaging as described in Section 5.2.4. Record the predicted innermost confinement layer concentration for each flammable VOC (Section 3 of the Data Sheet).

[C] Sum the predicted innermost confinement layer flammable VOC concentrations and record the sum (Section 3 of the Data Sheet).

[D] Proceed to Section 5.2.5.3.3 to see if compliance with the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT design pressure limit can be established by theoretical analysis.

5.2.5.3.3 Determine Compliance with the Packaging Design Pressure Limit by Theoretical Analysis As described in Section 3.4.4 of the TRUPACT-II 7 and HalfPACT 8 SARs, compliance with the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT design pressure limits can be demonstrated by conservative theoretical analysis up to the wattage limits shown in Table 5.2-9 for Waste Types I, II, and III.

NA = Not applicable.

The maximum decay heat in any single CCO is also limited to the payload container design limit of 20 watts.

For cases where the wattage limits specified in Table 5.2-9 are exceeded but the packaging design limit of 40 watts per TRUPACT-II or 30 watts per HalfPACT is met, compliance with the container flammable gas generation rate limit by the methodology described in Section 5.2.5.3.4, 5.2.5.3.5, or 5.2.5.4 can be used to evaluate compliance with the total gas generation rate limit.

Because the primary mechanism for gas generation for both flammable and total gas for Waste Types I, II, and III is radiolysis, compliance with the flammable gas generation rate limit implies 5.2-38

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 actual G values (both flammable and total) that are much lower than those used to derive the limits in Table 5.2-9. Therefore, compliance with the flammable gas generation rate limits will ensure compliance with the total gas generation rate limits for these cases (e.g., Waste Type III SWBs greater than 23 watts in a TRUPACT-II or 17 watts in a HalfPACT). An example calculation is provided below:

Assuming an SWB of Waste Material Type III.1 with no layers of confinement and a decay heat loading of 30 watts, compliance with the total gas generation rate limit is ensured if compliance with the flammable gas generation rate limit can be demonstrated by measurement or testing. Using the equations in Section 5.2.3, the maximum allowed hydrogen gas generation rate for the test category SWB can be calculated as 1.79E-07 moles/second. Based on the 30-watt decay heat loading of the SWB and the requirement for the SWB hydrogen gas generation to be less than or equal to 1.79E-07 moles/second, the actual G value (flammable gas) for this container can be calculated as 0.06. This compares to a theoretical G value (flammable gas) of 1.09 used to derive the analytical category limits. Because the mechanism for both hydrogen and total gas generation is radiolysis, a similar ratio exists between the actual and theoretical gas generation rates for hydrogen and total gas. This means that if the SWB passes the hydrogen gas generation rate limit of 1.79E-07 moles/second, the actual G value (total gas) for this container will be lower than the theoretical G value used to derive the limits in Table 5.2-9 by a factor of 1.09/0.06 = 18. Therefore, the actual total gas generation from this container will be extremely low and will easily comply with the packaging design pressure limits.

In order to more clearly illustrate this fact and directly address the purpose of the above example, alternate pressure increase calculations for Waste Material Type III.1 are provided below. These calculations are based on the maximum possible FGGR limits and, for comparison, based on actual FGGR values calculated from measurement data.

Example Pressure Increase Calculations Based on FGGR Limits Pressure increase calculations that correspond to FGGR limits provide a bounding assessment of pressure increase values (as opposed to the extremely conservative theoretical maximum values provided in Table 3.4-6 through Table 3.4-11 of the TRUPACT-II Safety Analysis Report [SAR]). The maximum possible FGGR limit for each payload container type was determined by assuming zero confinement layers and no resistance to gas release from container filters. These assumptions allow the calculation of FGGR limits using only the load type resistance value specified in Table 2.2-4 of Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. Resulting 60-day shipping period payload shipping categories and FGGR limits (calculated in accordance with Section 5.2.3) for each payload container type are shown below.

Payload Shipping FGGR Limit Container Type Category (mol/sec) 55-Gallon Drum 30 0109 0072 6.944E-08 SWB 30 0109 0015 3.333E-07 SWB Overpack 30 0109 0058 8.621E-08 85-Gallon Drum 30 0109 0048 1.042E-07 100-Gallon Drum 30 0109 0028 1.786E-07 TDOP 30 0109 0010 5.000E-07 5.2-39

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Using the above maximum possible container specific FGGR limits, the maximum possible radiolytic gas generation rates (see eighth column from left in Table 3.4-6 through Table 3.4-11 of the TRUPACT-II SAR) were calculated using the following formula:

G eff(T)

CG total = x FGGR x N G

where, CGtotal = Rate of total radiolytic gas generation (moles/second)

Geff(T) = Temperature-corrected effective total G value [the total number of molecules of gas generated per 100 eV of energy absorbed (molecules/100 eV)]

G = Flammable gas G value FGGR = Flammable gas generation rate N = Number of payload containers in package.

Assuming the maximum TRUPACT-II design decay heat limit of 40 watts, the maximum possible radiolytic gas generation rates (as a function of the maximum possible container FGGR limits) were used to calculate the maximum possible FGGR-limited pressures at the end of the 60-day shipping period. In each case, the pressure increase (shown below) is well below the 50-psig pressure design limit.

Example Pressure Increase Calculations Based on Actual FGGR Values Sample 60-day shipment data for 4,008 payload containers shipped in 354 payloads, each of which included at least one test category container, were evaluated to determine the highest possible pressure increase based on the actual payload FGGR and wattage values.

Using actual FGGR values calculated from headspace measurement data for each test category container, the highest total radiolytic gas generation rates per package were calculated using the following formula:

x FGGR i The evaluation used the actual as-shipped payload configuration where total wattage was determined by summing the individual payload container wattages. The shipment data 5.2-40

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 calculations (shown below) validate the bounding pressure values calculated above as the highest pressure increase for each is less than the maximum pressure increase for the applicable payload container type.

Record the decay heat plus the associated error and the wattage limit for the container and waste type from Table 5.2-9 (Section 4 of the Data Sheet), and compare the two values. (Note that the limits specified in Table 5.2-9 are per payload container and per TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT.) If the container decay heat plus error is less than or equal to the appropriate value in Table 5.2-9 and the concentration of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace is less than or equal to 500 ppm, proceed to Section 5.2.5.3.4. If the container decay heat plus error is less than or equal to the appropriate value in Table 5.2-9 and the concentration of flammable VOCs in the payload container headspace is greater than 500 ppm, proceed to Step 5.2.5.3.5. If the container decay heat plus error is greater than the appropriate value in Table 5.2-9, then the container may be evaluated for compliance for flammable gas generation rate limits as described in Sections 5.2.5.3.4 and 5.2.5.3.5. If compliance with the flammable gas generation rate limits is demonstrated, then the total gas generation rate limits are met as described above.

5.2.5.3.4 Determine Compliance with Flammable Gas Generation Rate Limit

[A] Calculate the flammable gas generation rate (FGGR) within the innermost layer of confinement using the measured flammable gas concentration in the container and the time history of the payload container using the AltMeth algorithm described in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Headspace measurement methods and associated QA/QC requirements are provided in the QAPP.6 Record the calculated FGGR (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

[B] Record the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate for the corresponding shipping category determined in accordance with the methodology described in Section 5.2.3 (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

[C] Compare the calculated FGGR to the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate.

If the calculated FGGR is less than or equal to the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate, then the payload container may be shipped if compliance with all other transportation requirements is demonstrated. If the calculated FGGR exceeds the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate, the container may be reassessed for compliance with transportation requirements through the evaluation of a payload with different shipping categories or dunnage containers, as described in Section 6.2.4. If the calculated FGGR exceeds the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate and the 5.2-41

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 payload container is not reassessed as described in Section 6.2.4, then proceed to Section 5.2.5.4 for testing.

If the calculated FGGR for each overpacked container is less than or equal to the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate for the payload shipping category, then the overpack may be shipped if compliance with all other transportation requirements is demonstrated.

If the calculated FGGR of any type of overpacked container exceeds the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate limit of the payload shipping category, the container may be reassessed under the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If the calculated FGGR of an overpacked container exceeds the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate for the payload shipping category and is not reassessed through the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1, then proceed to Section 5.2.5.4 for testing. Otherwise, the overpack shall be reconfigured, or mitigative measures shall be adopted. For mixing of container shipping categories within an overpack configuration, the configuration must be assessed under the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If the above relevant limits are met, the payload container satisfies the test criteria. If the Data Sheet is used to document compliance, then the Data Sheet is signed by the Transportation Certification Official. If compliance is determined using a verified/validated software package, then the necessary data are stored electronically and the Transportation Certification Official signs the completed PCTCD or OPCTCD, as appropriate. The payload container qualifies for shipment after verification of all of the transportation parameters. Containers that do not meet the test category criteria are segregated for repackaging or reprocessing.

5.2.5.3.5 Determine Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Concentration Limit

[A] Calculate the FGGR within the innermost layer of confinement using the measured flammable gas concentration in the payload container and the time history of the container (based on the methodology in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1). Headspace measurement methods and associated QA/QC requirements are provided in the QAPP.6 Record the calculated FGGR (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

[B] Calculate the concentration of the flammable gas within the innermost confinement layer at the end of the shipping period inside a TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT (Xinner) using the following equation:

X inner = CG

• R T where, CG = Calculated FGGR (mole/second)

RT = The total resistance to hydrogen release (second/mole) (see Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1).

Record the calculated innermost confinement layer flammable gas concentration (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

5.2-42

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020

[C] Calculate the container-specific MLEL within the innermost confinement layer using the flammable group method as described in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 using the following equation:

100%

MLEL =

f i GCFi where, MLEL = Mixture lower explosive limit (volume percent) fi = Fraction of flammable gas i in mixture on an air-free and nonflammable VOC-free basis (i.e., the concentration of flammable compound i divided by the sum of the concentrations of flammable VOCs and flammable gas)

GCFi = Group contribution factor for compound i The GCF values for various compounds are listed in Appendix 3.10 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Record the MLEL (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

[D] Calculate and record the sum of the concentrations of the flammable gas in the innermost confinement layer and the flammable VOCs in the innermost confinement layer (Section 4 of the Data Sheet).

[E] Compare the sum of the flammable gas and flammable VOC concentrations within the innermost confinement layer to the calculated MLEL. If the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations is less than or equal to the MLEL, then the container may be shipped if compliance with all other transportation requirements is demonstrated.

If the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations exceeds the MLEL, the container may be reassessed for compliance with transportation requirements through the evaluation of a payload with different shipping categories or dunnage containers, as described in Section 6.2.4. If the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations exceeds the MLEL and the container is not reassessed through the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1, then proceed to Section 5.2.5.4 for testing. Otherwise, the container shall be reconfigured or mitigative measures shall be adopted.

[F] In the case of an overpack configuration with multiple containers (drums in an SWB or TDOP) that consist of one or more overpacked payload container(s), the configuration must be assessed under the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If the above relevant limits are met, the payload container satisfies the test category criteria. If the Data Sheet is used to document compliance, then the Data Sheet is signed by the Transportation Certification Official. If compliance is determined using a verified/validated software package, then the necessary data are stored electronically and the Transportation Certification Official signs the completed PCTCD or OPCTCD, as appropriate. The payload container qualifies for shipment after verification of all of the transportation parameters.

Containers that do not meet the test category criteria are segregated for repackaging or reprocessing.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.5.4 Procedure for Testing 5.2.5.4.1 Determine Compliance with Flammable (Gas/VOC) Limit Through Testing Containers selected for testing must be shown to meet all other applicable transportation limits (weight, FGE, dose rate, etc.). Waste containers chosen for testing shall fall under the definition of a test category waste as described in Section 5.2.5.1.2 and shall be subject to the decay heat criteria shown in Table 5.2-10. Note: Compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) limits for shielded containers shall not be evaluated by testing. Because testing is the only method of qualification for Waste Type IV containers, Waste Type IV is not allowed in shielded containers.

Table 5.2 Decay Heat Criteria for Container Selection Maximum Decay Heat per Waste Container and per Packaging Test Type Shipping Category TRUPACT-II HalfPACT Temperature All shipping categories for 40 30 RT 55-gallon drums I, II, and All shipping categories for other 40 30 RT III container types All shipping categories for 40 NA RT TDOPs All shipping categories for 7 7 135 55-gallon drums IV All shipping categories for other 7 3.5 148 container types Notes:

Other container types are defined as follows: direct load SWB, 55-gallon drum in an SWB overpack, 85-gallon drum, 85-gallon drum overpack, 55-gallon drum in an 85-gallon drum overpack, and 100-gallon drum.

RT = Room temperature. For gas generation testing, should be at a minimum of 64°F. Higher temperatures are allowed and will yield conservative results.

NA = Not applicable.

Table 5.2-10 also specifies the temperatures at which gas generation testing must be performed.

Testing temperatures are based on compliance with TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT design pressure limits, and elevated temperature gas generation testing is only necessary in cases where compliance with the packaging design pressure limits cannot be demonstrated through theoretical analysis or if a correlation cannot be established between flammable gas generation limits and total gas (i.e., for Waste Type IV). As required in Section 5.2.5.3.3 and as described in Section 3.4.4 of the TRUPACT-II7 and HalfPACT8 SARs, compliance with the TRUPACT-II and HalfPACT design pressure limits can be demonstrated by conservative theoretical analysis up to the wattage limits shown in Table 5.2-9 for Waste Types I, II, and III. For Waste Types I, II, and III above the values in Table 5.2-9 and below the packaging design limits, a correlation 5.2-44

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 exists between flammable gas and total gas as described in Section 5.2.5.3.3. For Waste Type IV, testing shall be performed at the elevated temperatures listed in Table 5.2-10.

5.2.5.4.2 Test Apparatus A test apparatus will be used that allows measurement of the gas generation rate from a container. This setup will also allow sampling of the offgas during the test in order to measure the concentrations of hydrogen, methane (if applicable), and possibly other compounds of interest. The test apparatus will enclose a container of waste, be heated to the predetermined temperature, if applicable (see Table 5.2-10), and be monitored for the test temperature during testing. Any combination of hardware and software that collects data that meet the QA objectives of the QAPP6 may be used to perform testing. It is likely that facilities participating in the TRUPACT-II Gas Generation Test Program will use identical or similar equipment for ease of performance validation. The steps in the procedure are centered around the following activities:

• Measurement of barometric pressure

• Temperature control and measurement (for applicable containers)

• Gas generation measurement or determination (for applicable containers)

• Gas sampling

• Gas analyses.

In order to test the waste for gas generation, the temperature of the container will either be at room temperature or will be raised for Waste Type IV, as shown in Table 5.2-10. Where elevated temperature testing is required, the selected waste container is placed in an insulated overpacking container enclosure or a temperature-controlled environment. Insulation, heat tape, thermocouples, and controllers may be used to monitor and control the temperature. The test temperature for Waste Type IV has been calculated based upon the maximum allowed wattage for shipped waste and is listed in Table 5.2-10.

Barometric pressure will be determined in a location that will give sufficient information regarding the pressure of the sampled gas(es). Each sample analysis must have an associated barometric pressure measurement.

Data will be gathered from the test apparatus using a flow measurement or gas sampling device.

Measurements or determinations of the total gas flow rate and/or associated hydrogen/methane gas concentrations will be used to calculate the hydrogen/methane gas generation rate. A mass flow meter, or other device, if used, may be placed outside of the waste container but within the overpacking container enclosure to avoid condensation of any gases within the flow device.

Sampling of gases may be accomplished using either of two methods. A sampling manifold will be a part of the waste container test unit. This manifold will be used to either collect discrete samples in containers or to divert a stream of gas to an analytical instrument. If discrete samples are collected, they will be sent to an analytical laboratory for analyses. If a stream is diverted to an analytical instrument, such as a mass spectrometer, this is called on-line sampling and analysis. Once the test begins, gas sampled during the test will be analyzed for hydrogen and methane (if applicable), and possibly for other gases of interest (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide).

5.2-45

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 The headspace of the containers will be sampled and analyzed for VOCs, if necessary, before the container is qualified for shipment.

5.2.5.4.3 Data Quality Objectives Data quality objectives (DQOs) are the qualitative and quantitative statements developed by data users to specify the quality of data required from a particular data collection activity. The DQOs for the testing are specified in the QAPP.6 The QAPP6 defines the QA objectives associated with these data measurements. Specific QA measures will also be followed for sample custody, calibration of equipment, data reporting, and data reduction.

5.2.5.4.4 Test Startup and Test Completion The test startup consists of placing the waste container in the test apparatus and, if specified in Table 5.2-10, heating the test unit to the required test temperature. Site-specific operating procedures describe the sampling and analysis required on a routine basis. The test will be terminated after sufficient data are obtained to calculate the hydrogen gas generation rate.

The term sufficient data is defined as data on the parameters needed to quantify a bounding and applicable gas generation rate for the container under the test conditions prescribed in the UFGTP. In the case of containers that are tested at room temperature (Waste Types I, II, and III), sufficient data is measurement of the flammable gas concentration, temperature, and pressure. For these containers there is no thermal equilibration of the contents with respect to the testing temperature and the gas generation rates are constant or decreasing (see Appendices 3.2 and 3.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1). For containers that are tested at an elevated temperature (Waste Type IV), a thermal equilibration period exists. Measurements are taken after the equilibration period to quantify the maximum flammable gas and total gas generation rates. In this case, sufficient data is measurement of flammable gas and total gas generation rates, temperature, and pressure during a testing period that is extended until the rates are shown to remain constant or decrease, or until the testing period (time from container isolation and commencement of heating to the collection of the final gas sample) equals or exceeds the time of the allowed shipping period. In all cases, the collection of data as described herein ensures that the measured rates determined through testing are representative of the gas generation properties of the container over the allowed shipping period. The measured rates are then compared to the respective limits to demonstrate compliance with the allowable gas generation rates.

5.2.5.4.5 Determination of Shippability At the completion of the test, the test results will be analyzed to determine if the container can be shipped in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT packages under the test category. Record the identification parameters identified in Section 1 of the Data Sheet and complete the following:

[A] Determine compliance with the methane screening limit, as specified in Steps A through C of Section 5.2.5.3.1.

[B] If the methane concentration exceeds the 1,250 ppm screening limit, the container is not eligible for shipment and cannot be tested under this procedure and must be segregated for repackaging or other treatment measures. If the methane concentration is less than or equal to 1,250 ppm and if flammable VOCs could be present at concentrations greater 5.2-46

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 than 500 ppm in the payload container headspace based on process knowledge (Step 1b ,

Figure 5.2-1), proceed to Step C. If the flammable VOCs in the headspace are less than or equal to 500 ppm, proceed to Step D.

[C] Determine concentration of flammable VOCs, as specified in Steps A through C of Section 5.2.5.3.2.

[D] Determine the sum of the measured decay heat value and the decay heat measurement error (one standard deviation) for the payload container from its data package. Record the decay heat plus the associated error (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

[E] From Table 5.2-10, record the maximum decay heat per container and per TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT (Section 5 of the Data Sheet), and determine if gas generation testing is to be performed at room temperature (Waste Types I, II, and III). If so, the total gas generation rate limit is met through theoretical analysis as shown in Section 5.2.5.3.3.

[F] If gas generation testing is not performed at room temperature (Waste Type IV), record the total measured gas release rate for the payload container and the maximum allowable total gas release rate for the payload container (from Table 5.2-11). Compare the total measured gas release rate to the limit for the corresponding container type. If the total measured gas release rate of the container exceeds the maximum allowable total gas release rate, the container may be reassessed for compliance with transportation requirements through the evaluation of compliance with the payload total gas release rate limits as described in Section 6.2.5. Otherwise, the container shall be reconfigured or mitigative measures shall be adopted.

The maximum total gas release rates (in moles per second per payload container) were determined from analysis as described in Section 3.4.4 of the TRUPACT-II7 and HalfPACT8 SARs.

If the measured gas release rate exceeds the maximum total gas release rate per container, the container may qualify for shipment using the methodology for evaluation of compliance with the payload total gas release rate limits described in Section 6.2.5.

[G] Record the measured FGGR for the payload container (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

[H] If flammable VOCs are present in the container headspace at concentrations less than or equal to 500 ppm, as determined in Step B, determine the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate for the corresponding shipping category (as listed in Table 5.2-1 or as determined in accordance with the methodology described in Section 5.2.3). Record the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

Compare the measured FGGR to the allowable rate limit.

If the measured FGGR of the container is less than or equal to the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate for the corresponding shipping category, then the container may be shipped if compliance with all other transportation requirements is demonstrated.

If the measured FGGR of the container exceeds the maximum allowable hydrogen gas generation rate, the container may be reassessed for compliance with transportation requirements through the evaluation of a payload with different shipping categories or dunnage containers, as described in Section 6.2.4. Otherwise, the container shall be reconfigured or mitigative measures shall be adopted.

[I] If VOCs are present in the container headspace at concentrations greater than 500 ppm, as demonstrated in Step C, calculate the predicted innermost confinement layer flammable gas concentration (Xinner) at the end of the shipping period as:

X inner = CG

• R T where, CG = Measured FGGR (mole/second) 5.2-48

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 RT = The total resistance to hydrogen release (second/mole) (see Appendix 2.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1).

Record the calculated innermost confinement layer flammable gas concentration (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

[J] Calculate the MLEL as described in Section 5.2.5.3.5. Record the MLEL (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

[K] Calculate the sum of the concentrations of the flammable gas in the innermost confinement layer and the flammable VOCs in the innermost confinement layer. Record the sum (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

[L] Compare the sum of the flammable gas and flammable VOC concentrations within the innermost confinement layer to the calculated MLEL. Indicate by (Yes/No) if the limit is met (Section 5 of the Data Sheet).

If the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations is less than or equal to the MLEL, then the container may be shipped if compliance with all other transportation requirements is demonstrated.

If the sum of the flammable gas and VOC concentrations exceeds the MLEL, the container may be reassessed for compliance with transportation requirements through the evaluation of a payload with different shipping categories or dunnage containers, as described in Section 6.2.4. Otherwise, the container shall be reconfigured or mitigative measures shall be adopted.

[M] In cases of overpack configurations with multiple containers (drums in an SWB or TDOP), the configuration must be assessed under the logic of Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If the above relevant limits are met, the payload container satisfies the test category criteria. If the Data Sheet is used to document compliance, then the Data Sheet is signed by the Transportation Certification Official. If compliance is determined using a verified/validated software package, then the necessary data are stored electronically and the Transportation Certification Official signs the completed PCTCD or OPCTCD, as appropriate. The payload container qualifies for shipment after verification of all of the transportation parameters.

Containers that do not meet the test category criteria may be qualified for shipment in accordance with Section 6.2.4 and/or Section 6.2.5. If the payload container cannot be qualified for shipment, the container must be segregated for repackaging or reprocessing.

5.2.5.5 Implementation of Unified Flammable Gas Test Procedure Long-Term Objective The long-term objective of the UFGTP is applied to a population of containers with consistent gas generation properties. The long-term objective of the UFGTP may be implemented once the required data have been collected through measurement and/or testing for a subpopulation of these containers. If a bounding FGGR value for compliance determination can be established and shown to be below the maximum allowable FGGR for the population, no further need exists to perform measurement (headspace gas for hydrogen and/or flammable VOCs) or to test every container in the population. If the bounding FGGR value exceeds the maximum allowable FGGR, the population will continue to be processed under the measurement and testing 5.2-49

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 methodology of the UFGTP. This methodology is consistent with that used in the determination of dose-dependent G values in Appendix 3.3 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 Site implementation of the UFGTP long-term objective must be documented in site-specific programs approved by DOE-CBFO.

5.2.5.5.1 Required Data and Criteria for Subpopulation Containers that are identified by process knowledge or other characterization to have similar properties with respect to gas generation are grouped into populations. The basis for grouping individual containers into a population shall be documented (e.g., by item description codes showing all containers are generated from the same waste stream). Within a given population, a subpopulation size may be determined and subjected to gas generation testing (i.e., measurement or container gas generation testing). The results of testing the subpopulation may be used to calculate flammable gas generation properties for the remainder of the population. The following data for each container of the subpopulation (i.e., that has undergone gas generation testing or measurement) shall be available:

• Content code and shipping category, from which the maximum allowable FGGR is determined

• Date of container closure, date of venting, and date of measurement or testing

• Methane concentration (Section 5.2.5.3.1)

• Flammable gas generation rate (Section 5.2.5.3.4 or 5.2.5.4)

• Total gas generation rate for Waste Type IV (Section 5.2.5.4).

5.2.5.5.2 Statistics for Required Subpopulation Size Containers selected for evaluation (i.e., the subpopulation) must be representative of the population with random or stratified sampling techniques used to avoid any bias in container selection. The required subpopulation size to implement the long-term objective will be calculated through the following equation5:

n0 n=

(n 1) 1+ 0 N

where, n0 = A conservative subpopulation size for an infinite population for a confidence level of 95% and a +/-5% precision level. In this case, the upper tail of the distribution curve is of interest, and n0 has a value of 271.5 n = The required subpopulation size N = The true population size.

As shown by the formula, the minimum number of required containers depends on the true population size.

5.2-50

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.2.5.5.3 Assignment of Flammable Gas Generation Properties for Population A 95% upper tolerance limit (UTL) (the 95% upper confidence limit of the 95th percentile) of the methane concentration, FGGR, and total gas generation rate (if required) shall be calculated for each subpopulation using a bootstrapping or comparable non-parametric technique.5 Non-parametric statistics are used to ensure the validity of this procedure regardless of the distribution shape of the subpopulation gas generation values. The 95% UTL of the methane concentration, FGGR, and total gas generation rate values will then be assigned to the remainder of the containers in the population in place of actual test values in evaluating compliance with the flammable gas/VOC limits using the methodology documented in Section 5.2.5.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 5.3 Venting and Aspiration 5.3.1 Requirements Payload containers that have been stored in an unvented condition (i.e., no filter and/or unpunctured liner) shall be aspirated for the specific length of time to ensure equilibration of any gases that may have accumulated in the closed container. For payload containers with Waste Material Type II.2 packaged in metal cans (which does not generate any flammable gas),

aspiration is not required. Note: The aspiration requirement is applicable only to containers that have been stored in an unvented condition. The derivation of aspiration times is outlined in Appendix 3.7 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. 1 5.3.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification The following sections describe the three options that are available for determining the required aspiration time. Tables in this section present aspiration times for common packaging configurations. Aspiration times for authorized configurations not covered by the tables in this section shall be determined as outlined in Appendix 3.7 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 5.3.2.1 Option 1Aspiration Time Based on Date of Payload Container Closure Compliance shall be by records and database information. For sites using this option, the steps outlined below shall be implemented to determine the aspiration time for a payload container.

1. The potential shipping category of the payload container shall be known.

2. The duration for which the container has been in a closed condition should be computed from a knowledge of the date of closure of the drum. This closure time should be rounded up to the next highest time period listed in Table 5.3-1, Table 5.3-2, or Table 5.3-3.

3. The required aspiration time corresponding to this closure time shall then be read from the same table under the column for the number of layers of confinement associated with the appropriate container shipping category.

4. The container shall be qualified for shipment only after being aspirated for at least this period of time.

5.3.2.2 Option 2Headspace Gas Sampling at the Time of Venting Compliance shall be by measurement of headspace gas concentrations and records. For sites using this option, the steps outlined below shall be implemented to determine the aspiration time for a payload container.

1. The potential shipping category of the payload container shall be known.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020

2. At the time of venting, a headspace sample shall be taken from the container headspace (Option 2A) or from the rigid liner headspace (Option 2B) and analyzed for the hydrogen concentration.

3. The measured headspace concentration of all hydrogen shall be rounded up to the next highest mole percentage listed in Table 5.3-4, Table 5.3-5, Table 5.3-6, Table 5.3-7, Table 5.3-8, or Table 5.3-9, determined by Option 2A or 2B, as appropriate.

4. The required aspiration time corresponding to this molar percentage shall be read from the same table under the column for the number of layers of confinement associated with the appropriate container shipping category.

5. The container shall be qualified for shipment only after being aspirated for at least this period of time.

5.3.2.3 Option 3Headspace Gas Sampling During Aspiration Compliance shall be by direct measurement of the headspace gas concentration. For sites using this option, the steps outlined below shall be implemented to determine the aspiration time for a payload container.

1. The potential shipping category of the payload container shall be known.

2. Prior to measuring the hydrogen concentration in the payload container headspace, the drum shall be vented for at least two weeks.

3. The measured headspace concentration of hydrogen shall be rounded up to the next highest mole percentage listed in Table 5.3-10, Table 5.3-11, or Table 5.3-12.

4. The required aspiration time corresponding to this molar percentage shall be read from the same table under the column for the number of layers of confinement associated with the appropriate container shipping category.

5. The container shall be qualified for shipment only after being aspirated for this period of time.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 6.0 PAYLOAD ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS This chapter presents an overview of the control procedures that shall be used by the sites in order to assemble a payload qualified for transport in the TRUPACT-II or the HalfPACT. The parameters described in previous chapters shall be evaluated for selection of a payload. The evaluation of transportation compliance for a payload container is shown in Figure 6.1-1. The container identification (ID) number shall uniquely identify the payload container. Each payload container shall have an assigned shipping category and content code. Wherever applicable, the physical, nuclear, and gas generation measured parameters (weight, fissile material, decay heat, and flammable gas generation rate) shall be checked against the limits after addition of the measurement error, as detailed in previous chapters. If any of the physical, chemical, or nuclear property limits are not met by the container, it shall be rejected from transport (subject to mitigation or repackaging), marked, and segregated. Containers that do not meet individual container gas generation limits (decay heat, flammable gas generation rate, total gas generation rate, etc.) may still meet transportation requirements if mixed with other payload containers or dunnage containers during payload assembly, in accordance with Sections 6.2.4 and/or 6.2.5.

Assembled payloads shall comply with the authorized payload configurations specified in Section 2.1. A TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT payload may be assembled of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category or different shipping categories (e.g., payload may consist of several shipping categories and/or may take credit for void volume provided by dunnage containers). The logic for selecting a payload qualified for transport when all payload containers belong to the same shipping category is presented in Figure 6.1-2. Payload selection shall be made from only those payload containers that have been approved for payload assembly.

6.1 Requirements Once compliance with all transportation parameter requirements is verified and the appropriate PCTCD(s) and/or OPCTCD(s) is completed, the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT package shall be authorized for shipment by the site Transportation Certification Official by completing and signing the PATCD.

Payload assembly requirements specific to Content Code LA 154 and SQ 154 payloads, which supplement the requirements of this section, are specified in Appendix 6.12 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. 1 The shipping records shall be maintained by the shipper for a minimum period of 3 years.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 6.2 Methods of Compliance and Verification 6.2.1 Procedure for Certification of Individual Payload Containers 6.2.1.1 Analytical Category Generating and storage sites shall qualify an individual payload container for transport in a TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT under the analytical category by verifying that the container meets the parameter requirements/limits listed in the PCTCD, Analytical Category (Table 6.2-1) and, if applicable, the OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4), or the PCTCD, Analytical Category Payload Containers Containing Puck Drums (Table 6.2-2). Except for payload containers containing puck drums, Table 6.2-1 shall be completed for each payload container to be directly loaded into the ICV. If payload containers will be overpacked, Table 6.2-1 shall be completed for each payload container to be overpacked, and Table 6.2-4 shall be completed for the payload container overpacking other payload containers. For example, if four 55-gallon drums will be overpacked in one SWB, Table 6.2-1 must be completed separately for each 55-gallon drum, and Table 6.2-4 must be completed once for the SWB. Table 6.2-2 shall be completed for each payload container containing puck drums to be directly loaded into the ICV.

6.2.1.1.1 Certification of Individual Payload Containers Other Than Analytical Category Payload Containers Containing Puck Drums Table 6.2-1 may be reformatted for site use. All parameters noted on the form shall be included in any modified version. Data on the parameters for specific payload containers shall be obtained by the methods outlined in this document. As an alternative to manually completing the PCTCD, a verified/validated software package may be used to determine payload container compliance and prepare an equivalent PCTCD form. Table 6.2-1 shall be completed as follows (section numbers in parentheses refer to sections in the CH-TRAMPAC that provide requirement and compliance and verification information for the transportation parameter described):

Identification Parameters

• Container ID#/Container Bar Code # (Section 2.4): The site-specific ID number(s) is unique to each container of waste and provides a means for tracking process data records and package history. These records on the properties of the waste container are referred to as the data package. The container ID number is assigned to the container prior to waste packaging. The ID number appears on a label affixed to the payload container and can be read for visual verification or for electronic retrieval (i.e., bar codes). Information necessary for transporting payload containers is entered into the data package under this ID number.

• Container Designated for Controlled Shipment? (Section 5.1): Indicate if the container is designated for controlled shipment in accordance with the controls specified in Appendix 3.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices. 1 If the payload container is designated for controlled shipment, the payload container may only be 1

6.2-1

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 combined in a payload assembly that is designated for controlled shipment as described in Section 6.2.2.

• Shipping Category (Section 5.1): The shipping category shall be assigned to the payload container by looking up the shipping category from the appropriate content code in the CH-TRUCON document 2. The methodology by which a shipping category is assigned to a content code is shown in Figure 6.2-1. Either the alpha-numeric shipping category or the numeric shipping category may be used.

• Content Code (Section 1.5): The content code from the data package for the payload container shall be approved as described in Section 1.5.2. The content code of the waste describes its physical and chemical form.

• Container Configuration (Sections 2.1 and 2.9): Select the appropriate payload container configuration (select one - direct load, fixed, or overpacked). The container shall be one of the approved types in one of the following authorized configurations:

Direct Load Configurations:

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020

• Filter(s) Identification (Section 2.5): Identification shall be listed for the type and number of filters used in an overpack container (i.e., 85-gallon drum, SWB, or TDOP) for compliance with the total minimum hydrogen diffusivity requirement (from Table 2.5-1 of Section 2.5). For overpacked container(s), documented compliance with the specifications in Section 2.5 shall be verified [e.g., as recorded on associated PCTCD(s) or OPCTCD].

Overpacked Container Measured Parameters

• Overpacked Container ID Number (Section 2.4): List the site-specific identification number for each of the overpacked payload containers.

• Measured Weight and Measurement Error (Section 2.3): The measured weight and measurement error for each overpacked container or the entire overpack configuration shall be recorded. The measured weight and measurement error may be obtained from the PCTCD(s) (Table 6.2-1 or Table 6.2-3) for each overpacked container. The measured weight of the individual overpacked containers is not required if the entire overpack configuration will be weighed. If the weight of each individual overpacked container is recorded, enter the measured weight and measurement error (determined from the scale calibration tolerance) of the empty overpack container on the last row.

Calculate the total weight as the sum of each of the individual weights (including the weight of the empty overpack container), and record this value in the appropriate box.

Calculate the root-sum-of-squares (RSS) error for the overpack configuration as the square root of the sum of the squares of the individually listed errors, and record this value in the appropriate box. If the entire overpack configuration is weighed, record the total measured weight of the overpack configuration and the measurement error (determined from the scale calibration tolerance) in the appropriate boxes (in this case, the measurement error is the same as the RSS error).

The total weight plus the total RSS error of the entire overpack configuration shall be recorded in the space provided and compared to the maximum allowable weight limit for the outermost payload container of the overpack configuration (i.e., 1,000 lbs. per 85-gallon drum, 4,000 lbs. per SWB, or 6,700 lbs. per TDOP).

• Measured Decay Heat and Measurement Error (Section 5.2.3): The measured decay heat value and measurement error (one standard deviation) for each overpacked container shall be recorded. The measured decay heat value and measurement error may be obtained from the PCTCD(s) (Table 6.2-1 or Table 6.2-3) or OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4) for each overpacked payload container.

For overpacked analytical category payload containers with the same shipping category, the decay heat value plus the measurement error for each payload container shall be compared individually to the Decay Heat Limit for the overpacked configuration. The spaces provided for Total and Total RSS Error are for use in completing Table 6.2-5.

If mixing shipping categories within an overpack pursuant to Section 6.2.4, these data are used in the FI calculation as described in Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 6.2-15

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 As an alternative, although not required, the FI may be used for the determination of compliance with flammable gas generation limits for payloads consisting of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category.

• Measured Fissile Mass (FGE) and Measurement Error (Section 3.1): The measured fissile mass and two times the measurement error (two standard deviations) for each overpacked container shall be recorded as obtained from the PCTCD(s) (Table 6.2-1 or Table 6.2-3) or OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4) for each overpacked payload container.

The subtotal fissile mass plus the total RSS error (RSS of twice each individual measurement error) of the entire overpack configuration shall be compared to the maximum allowable fissile mass limit for the outermost payload container of the overpack configuration.

• Hydrogen/Flammable Gas Generation Rate (Section 5.2.3 or 5.2.5): If all overpacked containers belong to the same shipping category, the flammable gas generation rate limit for the overpack is recorded from Table 5.2-1 or determined using the methodology described in Section 5.2.3 (for analytical category waste); from Section 5.2.5 (for test category waste); or through the use of a verified/validated software package.

For overpacked test category payload containers with the same shipping category, the hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate for each payload container shall be compared individually to the hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate limit.

If mixing shipping categories within an overpack pursuant to Section 6.2.4, these data are used in the FI calculation as described in Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 As an alternative, although not required, the FI may be used for the determination of compliance with flammable gas generation limits for payloads consisting of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category.

• Flammability Index (Section 6.2.4): If mixing shipping categories within an overpack pursuant to Section 6.2.4, calculate the FI for each overpacked container as described in Section 6.2.4 and Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 after selecting the overpacking containers comprising the payload assembly.

Calculation is typically performed by a verified/validated software package.

As an alternative, although not required, the FI may be used for the determination of compliance with flammable gas generation limits for payloads consisting of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category.

Certification of Compliance The site Transportation Certification Official shall verify compliance with the requirements for weight, fissile mass, decay heat, hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate, and FI, as applicable to the overpack configuration.

Transportation Certification Official (Section 1.6)

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 6.2.2 Procedure for Assembly and Certification of a CH-TRU Payload Generating and storage sites shall qualify a payload for transport in the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT by verifying that the payload meets the parameter requirements/limits listed in the PATCD (Table 6.2-5). Table 6.2-5 may be reformatted for site use. All parameters noted on the form shall be included in any modified version. As an alternative to manually completing the PATCD, a verified/validated software package may be used to determine payload assembly compliance and prepare an equivalent PATCD form.

Table 6.2-5 shall be completed as follows (section numbers in parentheses refer to sections in the CH-TRAMPAC that provide requirement and compliance and verification information for the transportation parameter described):

Identification Parameters

• Shipment #: The shipment number of the trailer or railcar of TRUPACT-IIs or HalfPACTs shall be recorded. For shipments by railcar, each railcar shall be assigned a separate shipment number or shipment number suffix.

• Packaging OCA Body/Lid #: The identification numbers on the TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT OCA body and lid shall be recorded.

• Payload Assembly Designated for Controlled Shipment? (Section 5.1): Using information from the PCTCD (Table 6.2-1 or Table 6.2-3) and OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4), determine if any payload container comprising the payload assembly has been designated for controlled shipment. If any container is designated for controlled shipment, the payload assembly must be qualified for controlled shipment. Indicate if the payload assembly is designated for controlled shipment in accordance with the conditions specified in Appendix 3.6 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices.1 If the payload assembly is designated for controlled shipment, Table 6.2-6 must also be completed for the shipment of the payload (Section 6.2.3).

• Shipping Category (Section 5.1): The shipping category of the payload shall be recorded only if all containers belong to the same shipping category. Mixing of shipping categories, including credit for dunnage, is allowed as described in Section 6.2.4. If mixing shipping categories pursuant to Section 6.2.4, indicate that the shipping category of the payload is not applicable (e.g., NA - Mixing).

• Decay Heat Limit (Section 5.2.3): If all containers belong to the same shipping category, the maximum allowable decay heat per payload container for the shipping category shall be recorded from the PCTCD (Table 6.2-1 or Table 6.2-3) and OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4). Mixing of shipping categories and payloads of any authorized contents, including credit for dunnage, is allowed as described in Section 6.2.4. If mixing shipping categories pursuant to Section 6.2.4, indicate that the decay heat limit for the payload is not applicable (e.g., NA - Mixing).

• Hydrogen/Flammable Gas Generation Rate Limit (Section 5.2): If all containers belong to the same shipping category, the maximum allowable hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate per payload container for the shipping category shall be recorded from the OPCTCD(s) (Table 6.2-4), if used; from Table 5.2-1 or determined using the methodology described in Section 5.2.3 (for analytical category waste) or from 6.2-27

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 Section 5.2.5 (for test category waste). Mixing of shipping categories and payloads of any authorized contents, including credit for dunnage, is allowed as described in Section 6.2.4. If mixing shipping categories pursuant to Section 6.2.4, indicate that the hydrogen/ flammable gas generation rate limit for the payload is not applicable (e.g., NA - Mixing).

• Type of Payload (Section 2.1): The payload configuration shall consist of an approved type of payload container. If the payload type is Standard Pipe Overpacks, each seven-pack in the payload must be comprised of only 6-in. standard pipe overpacks or 12-in. standard pipe overpacks.

• Transportation Packaging: The type of packaging used (TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT) shall be recorded

• Date ICV Closed: The date that the ICV is closed shall be recorded.

• Time ICV Closed: For payloads designated for controlled shipment only, the time that the ICV is closed shall be recorded. For other payloads, the time that the ICV is closed need not be recorded.

Bottom Payload Assembly Composition and Top Payload Assembly Composition The following data shall be recorded from each PCTCD (Table 6.2-1 and Table 6.2-3) or from the OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4), as applicable, for each payload container comprising the payload:

• Payload container ID number or DUNNAGE or EMPTY (Section 2.4)

• Measured weight and measurement error (Section 2.3)

• Measured decay heat and measurement error (one standard deviation) (Section 5.2.3)

• Measured fissile mass and two times the measurement error (two standard deviations or one times the RSS error if values are taken from an OPCTCD) (Section 3.1)

If the data are obtained from the OPCTCD, errors should be the calculated RSS errors (the square root of the sum of the squares of the individually listed errors).

In addition, record the measured hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate for payloads containing test category waste from each PCTCD (Section 5.2.5). If mixing shipping categories pursuant to Section 6.2.4, calculate and record the hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate and the FI for each payload container. If the payload assembly consists of overpacked configurations, indicate that the hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate and FI are not applicable (e.g., NA - Mixing) and record the hydrogen/flammable gas generation rate and FI for each overpacked container on the appropriate OPCTCD (Table 6.2-4). This calculation is typically performed using a verified/validated software package.

As an alternative, although not required, the FI may be used for the determination of compliance with flammable gas generation limits for payloads consisting of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category.

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 6.2.4 Mixing of Shipping Categories Appendix 2.4 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 describes the logic for mixing shipping categories for compliance with flammable (gas/VOC) concentration limits, including the determination of the FI.

Note: Although not required, the FI may be used for the determination of compliance with flammable gas generation limits for payloads consisting of payload containers belonging to the same shipping category.

Mixing of shipping categories is allowed for direct loaded and overpacked payload configurations by ensuring that each payload container or overpacked container does not contain a flammable mixture of gases. Mixing of shipping categories is allowed only within authorized payload configurations comprised of a single payload container type as listed in Table 2.1-1 of the CH-TRAMPAC. (Note: Standard pipe overpacks may be assembled in a TRUPACT-II or HalfPACT payload with 55-gallon drums. Standard pipe overpacks in this payload assembly are considered 55-gallon drums and are subject to the requirements of Section 2.9.1 and Section 3.1.)

Each payload container or overpacked container is assessed through the calculation of the FI for the container, which accounts for the properties of each of the other containers in the assembly or overpacked configuration, which may include dunnage containers.

A payload is qualified for shipment only if the FI of each payload container or overpacked container is a non-negative number less than or equal to 50,000. If one or more containers fail(s) the FI requirement, the payload or overpacked configuration shall be reconfigured until all containers satisfy this requirement. Otherwise, containers not meeting the FI requirement shall be placed in the test category or rejected from transport and subject to mitigation or repackaging.

The FI determination can be performed either manually or by the use of a verified/validated software package.

6.2-36

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 6.2.5 Payload Total Gas Release Rate Compliance Evaluation For containers of Waste Type IV that exceed the total gas release rate limits in Table 5.2-11 in Section 5.2.5.4.5, compliance with the packaging design pressure limit may be demonstrated by compliance with the total gas release rate limit determined for the payload in which it is assembled. These Waste Type IV payload assemblies may be comprised of other Waste Type IV containers, non-Waste Type IV containers, and/or dunnage containers. Each payload assembly is evaluated through the calculation of the payload total gas release rate, which accounts for the total gas release rate of each container in the assembly into the ICV.

The total gas release rates of containers of Waste Type IV (TGRRi IV) shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.2.5.

For payload assemblies of Waste Type IV containers mixed with containers of other waste types, the total gas release rate of the non-Waste Type IV containers (TGGRi other) shall be calculated using the total decay heat of the container as follows:

Q i (G(netgas) i molecules/100eV)

TGRR i other = (1)

N A 1.602(10) 19 where, Qi = Decay heat of container i (watts)

G(netgas)i = Total gas temperature corrected effective G value (net gas) for container i (molecules of gas formed/100 eV emitted energy)

NA = Avogadros number = 6.0225(10)23 molecules/mole.

Note:

Net gas G values in Appendix 3.2 of the CH-TRU Payload Appendices1 are corrected using the Arrhenius relation to Waste Type IV test temperatures corresponding to the maximum decay heat per packaging shown in Table 5.2-10 of Section 5.2.5.4.1.

The payload total gas release rate, PTGRR, is the sum of the total gas release rates of the gas generating containers making up the payload assembly as follows:

n IV containers n other containers PTGRR = TGRR i =1 i IV + TGRR i =1 i other (2)

A payload qualifies for shipment only if the payload total gas release rate is less than the payload total gas release rate limit calculated below. If the payload total gas release rate exceeds the payload total gas release rate limit, the payload shall be reconfigured until this requirement is satisfied. The determination of compliance with the payload total gas release rate limit can be performed either manually or by the use of a verified/validated software package. The payload total gas release rate limit, PTGRRL, is calculated as:

PTGRRL = 2.26(10) 8 x Vvoid (3) 6.2-37

CH-TRAMPAC Document Rev. 5, August 2020 where, Vvoid = Available void volume inside the packaging ICV cavity, which includes the void volume of any dunnage containers.

From the values presented in Table 6.2-8, the void volume of a payload assembly is calculated as:

Vvoid = VICV + n dunnage x Vdunnage (4) where, VICV = Void volume inside the ICV and outside the containers ndunnage = Number of dunnage containers Vdunnage = Void volume of dunnage containers.
