Adelnistrotive Procedure RW-1-210 Process control Program Revision 3 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of Waterford Steam Electric Station - Unit Number 3 (Waterford 3) Process Control Program (PCP) is to describe the program which provides reasonable assurance of the complete solidifi-ation of various radioactive " wet wastes" including resin slurries

-and evaporator bottoms are accordance with applicable Department of Transportation (DOT), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), State and licensed burial facilities acceptance criteria for packaging and shipment to an' approved burial site.

Compliance with these criteria will be achieved through implementation of the PCP and related Waterford 3 and vendor supplied procedures.

Description:

Waterford 3 utilizes vendor supplied portabic solidification

. equipment-for radioactive waste solidification.

References 2.2.1, 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 provide a general description of respec-tive vendor solidification processes and process control features; References 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 describes the method-which will be utilized to classify wastes in accordance with 10CFR61; and Reference 2.1.1 through 2.1.7 are Waterford 3' documents which either implement or describe activities which provide reasonable-assurance'that wastes are solidified or dewatered in accordance with all applicable regulations and criteria.

Administrativo Procedure RW-1-210 Process Control Program Revision 3 5.1.2 Sources of Waterford 3 Stabilization / Solidification reeds:

The Cement solidification will be used to stabilize resins.'

l evaporator bottoms and boric acid concentrates.

During resin stabilization, vendor equipment will be connected to the Resin Waste Management Fystem outlet to allow for the transfer of resin. Vendor equipment will be connected to the Solid waste Management System outlet when evaporator bottoms from the rad-waste evaporator and boric acid concentrates from the Boron Management System evaporator are to be stabilized.

Solidi-g feation using Aquaset/Petroset media will be used to process resins. oil, water / acid, evaporator bottoms and boric acid cencentrates.

This process will not be connected to any plant waste systems and will be processed on a batch basis.

5.2 Solidification Process Parameters:

5.2.1 Solidification formulas and solidification process parameters are incorporated into the applicable vendor process control program.

No exceptions or deviations from vendor supplied procedures or topical reports are anticipated for stabilized waste. The formulas are used to calculate the ratio of waste.

cement, water and other reagents required to a hieve an acceptable solidified product.

Compatibility requirements of the waste stream with respect to the solidification media are described in the vendor process controls program. Vaste stream parameters are adjusted as necessary to meet these requirements.

5.2.2 Test solidifications are performed on vaste stream samples to verify vendor esiculated solidificttion formulas.

Pinnt procedures describe the frequency for performing test soli-difications and establish the acceptance criteria for the test solidifications in accordance with Technical Specification 3/4 11.3.

Adainistrative Procedure RW-1-210 Process Control Program Revision 3 5.3 Administrative Controls 5.3.1 Administrative controls utilized to insure compliance with applicable state and federal regulations and burial site criteria are detailed in the radioactive waste solidification surveillance procedure (s).

These implementing document (s) for radioactive waste solidification and dewatering describes the requirements which must be met prior to processing radio-active waste, as well as the condition of the solidified or dewatered waste. Test solidifications, full scale calcula-tions and operation of the solidification equipment are performed by vendor personnel. Dewatering operations will be

-performed by vendor personnel or by qualified Plant staff.

Plant staff provides Health Physics and Quality Assurance coverage, operates plant radioactive waste systems, collects waste stream samples and performs isotopic analyses.

Copies of all referenced documents are available on site for use by personnel engaged in solidification activities.

5'.3.2 Changes to this Process Control Program shall be described in the semi-annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report-for the period in which the change is made, in accordance with Techni-cal Specification 6.13.2.

5.4 Waste Characterization and Classification 5.4.1 Waste Classification 5.4.1.1 Solidified wastes are classified in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR61.55, as implemented by references 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 and plant waste classification and characterization procedure (s).

9 g-

Administrative Procedure RW-1-210 Pr9eoss Control Program Revision 3 5.4.1.2 Annual analysis will be performed on the waste streams to determine the isotopic abundance of gamma emitting isotopes in the streams.

Scaling factors for the non gamma emitting and transuranic consti-tuents will be developed from this annual analysis.

The activity of each radionuclide in the solidified waste will be determined by a core sample or a cal-culational method employing the percent abandance and scaling factors with a dose to curie conversion factor as described in reference 2.2.6.

5.4.2 Waste Characteristics 5.4.2.3 Solidified wastes will meet the characteristics of 10CFR61.56(a) and (b).

Vaste containers will be labelled to identify the waste class.

5.4.2.2 The manifesting requirements of 10CFR20.311 are implemented and records are maintained in accordance with 10CFR71.91.

5.5 Quality Asqurance 5.5.1 Quality Assurance related activities for the Radioactive Waste Program are implemented as described in the Nuclear Operations Management Manual (Reference 2.1.7).

These activities provide verification that the solidified wastes meet applicable state and federal regulations and burial site criteria.
