NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVEAND TECHNICAL MANUAL pg e 4 Of 75 Revision SOLID RADWASTZ PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM 76PR-9RW01 1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1.1 'urpose 1.1.1 The purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) fox the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS),
Units 1, 2, and 3 is to establish a set of process parameters which will provide reasonable assuxance of complete solidification of various liquid radioactive "wet wastes" including resin slurries, evaporatox bottoms, filter sludges, and chemical
'drains in accordance with the xequirements of applicable portions of the PVNGS Quality Assurance Program, PVNGS Technical Specifications, PVNGS Final Safety Analysis Report, Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, Arizona State Regulations, Nuclear Regulator Commission (NRC) regulations, and licensed burial facilities acceptance criteria for solidification, packaging and shipment to an approved offsite burial site.
1~1~2 Toward this purpose, the PCP ensures that the solidified substance is a monolith having no freestanding liquid and is within the limits as set forth in the above mentioned xegulations and acceptance criteria. This PCP will also ensure that solidification will be performed to maintain any potential radiation exposure to plant personnel to "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA) levels, in accordance with the "ALARA Program" procedure.
(RCTS 032630 01I 032639 0 1 )
1~1~3 The program addresses dewatering and drying of resin in conformance with 10 CFR 61 and packaging of various class B and class C waste in High Integrity Containers to meet waste form stability requirements.
