PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 2.0 REVIEWAND APPROVAL See cover page 3.0 SCOPE 3.1 Purpose The St. Lucie Plant Process Control Program (PCP) implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. Specifically, the PCP applies to waste form classification of all radioactive waste destined for land burial in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2006.

In addition, the specific requirements are provided for dewatering of bead resins for disposal and for vendor supplied processes for solidification, encapsulation or absorption of liquid or wet solid radioactive wastes when performed on site and under the licenses issued to the St. Lucie Plant by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Radioactive waste that is shipped to a licensed radioactive waste disposal facility for disposal, the St. Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions, including waste form and waste classification requirements of the disposal sites radioactive material license.

Radioactive waste that is shipped to a radioactive waste processor for further processing of the waste prior to disposal, the St Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions of the radioactive waste processor. In this case, however, it is the responsibility of the radioactive waste processor to meet the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal site license for the radioactive waste shipped to the disposal site.

B. CS-OP-PR-008-1 61049 Energy Solutions Self-Engaging Dewatering System Fill Head at St Lucie.

2. Vendor supplied processes for solidification, encapsulation or absorption of liquid radioactive waste are conducted in accordance with a vendor PCP and appropriate operating procedures specific to the process to be used and are reviewed and accepted by the On-Site Review Group (ORG) and approved by the Plant General Manager. Once approved for use at the St. Lucie Plant, changes to the vendor's process control program must be documented in accordance with Technical Specification 6.13 and as shown in Section 4.4. and be reviewed and accepted by the ORG and approved by the Plant General Manager prior to continued use at the St. Lucie Plant.
3. All radioactive waste shipped for land burial must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2006 regarding waste form classification and packaging. This is implemented through procedure HP-47, "Classification of Radioactive Waste Material for Land Disposal."

PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 2.0 REVIEWAND APPROVAL See cover page 3.0 SCOPE 3.1 Purpose The St. Lucie Plant Process Control Program (PCP) implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a and General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. Specifically, the PCP applies to waste form classification of all radioactive waste destined for land burial in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2006.

In addition, the specific requirements are provided for dewatering of bead resins for disposal and for vendor supplied processes for solidification, encapsulation or absorption of liquid or wet solid radioactive wastes when performed on site and under the licenses issued to the St. Lucie Plant by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Radioactive waste that is shipped to a licensed radioactive waste disposal facility for disposal, the St. Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions, including waste form and waste classification requirements of the disposal sites radioactive material license.

Radioactive waste that is shipped to a radioactive waste processor for further processing of the waste prior to disposal, the St Lucie Plant is responsible to meet all of the license conditions of the radioactive waste processor. In this case, however, it is the responsibility of the radioactive waste processor to meet the requirements of the radioactive waste disposal site license for the radioactive waste shipped to the disposal site.
