CPS No. 1888.00 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) is to define the necessary program guidance used at Clinton Power Station (CPS) to ensure that solid radioactive waste management activities, in packaging radioactive waste for disposal, conform to the Code of Federal and State Regulations and the Waste Burial Site. License Criteria.

-This procedure fulfills requirements of the' CPS' Technical Specifications, Sections 1

3.11.3, 4.11.3 and 6.5.1.6.n and 6.13.

2.0 DISCUSSION / DEFINITIONS 2.1 Discussion 2.1.1 A large portion of the waste produced at Clinton Power Station is in a form which is either liquid or in a wet solid form (e.g., resins,-filter sludge, evaporator bottoms) and requires processing to obtain,an acceptable, solid, monolithic form for burial.

The solidification of these wastes is to be performed by Associated Technologies Incorporated (ATI) of Charlotte, N.C. utilizing a NRC approved mobile solidification system (ATI System).

The ATI system is described:in ATI'Tcpical Report, ATI-VR-001-P-A and Supplement No. 1.

A management review of the vendor's topical report is necessary to assure vendor operation and requirements are compatible with plant operation and plant responsibility.

2.1.2 Radioactive wet solids may also be processed by dewatering utilizing NRU approved dewatering procedures.

Compliance with 49CFR, 10CFR20, 10CFR61, 10CFR71 and other applicable regulations shall be assured by adherence to approved procedures and instructions.

2.1.3 The Clinton Power Station Process Control Program shall be in accordance with ATI Process Control Program, ATI-TVR-III, Procedure No. 191-DOC-002, Revision C, dated October 15, 1985.

2.1.4 The Clinton waste classification program for solidified radwaste products is described in Clinton Power Station Operating Procedure, CPS No. 1913.00, RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS SHIPPING MANUAL.

The classification program meets the requirements set forth in Sect'i~on 56.55 of 10 CFR Part 61.

2.1.5 The Clinton Power Station shall utilire the ATI Topical Report, ATI-VR-001-P-A, Supplement No. 2, " Bitumen as a Radwaste Solidification Agent" dated October 25, 1985 to demonstrate that the Clinton solid waste product meets the requirements set forth in Section 61.56 'of -10 CFR Part 61.

CPS No. 1888.00 2.1.6 The Clinton's methods of essuring complete solidification and/or dewatering of wet solid waste shall meet NRC Branch Technical Position ETSB 11-3, Revision.2 (July 1981).

2.1.7 The Clinton solidified waste product will be prepared, packaged, manifested, and transferred to a land disposal facility-in accordance with Section 20.311 of 10 CFR Part 20.

2.2 Definitions None 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY 3.1 The Clinton Power Station Manager has the overall responsibility for the Solid Radioactive Waste activities at CPS.

3.2 The Supervisor - Radwaste is responsible for the implementation of the requirements'of this procedure.

3.3 The Supervisor - Solid Waste is responsible for the review of this procedure and-the development and implementation of procedures relating to the requirements of this procedure.

3.4 The Director - Plant Radiation Protection is responsible for submitting the Stri-Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report to which Solid Radwaste Group provides information regarding Solid Radioactive Waste.

4.0 PRECAUTIONS None c 5.0 PREREOUISITES This procedure and any changes thereto requires review by the FRG and submission to the U.S. N. R. C. in the Semi-Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period.in which the changes were made.
