-PROCESS DESCRIPTION The Pacific Nuclear Solidification System is specifically designed to facilitate solidification of various forms and mixtures of radioactive waste in large scale liners.The waste is effectively immobilized using the specified type of cement which is thoroughly mixed with the waste using the system in-container
.mixing blades.The final product has proven to be a homogeneously mixed, free standing monolith with no free standing water.4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES"Not Applicable" 5.0 PRECAUTIONS/PREREQUISITES Waste can be solidified using the PNSI solidification Unit and either Envirostone or Portland Type I or II Cement in accordance with the formulas listed in this PCP.Specific waste conditioners are required for some waste forms before solidification.
The procedures for solidification of various wastes are included as separate addendums to this procedure.
44ll.t+C e PT-51-WS, Rev.10 Nay 21, 1992 If the laboratory analysis of the waste solidification shows that the waste setup time will be less than desired, Red Top Retarder can be added in small amounts to extend the setup time to long enough to ensure that the full volume of cement can be thoroughly blended with the waste to form a homogeneous mixture.If the waste/cement mixture exhibits a long setup time, as indicated by laboratory testing, accelerator (Alum or equivalent) can be added to the mixture.The exact amount, of retarder or accelerator will be determined during the laboratory solidification and then will be applied in the same proportion in the full scale solidification (within+24).6.0 PROCEDURE 6.1 System Operation The Pacific Nuclear Solidification System is operated in accordance with the approved procedures, which ensure reproducibility of the waste product from liner to liner.The process parameters and chemical ratios used in each solidification are specifically calculated for each waste batch and a sample verification satisfactorily performed before attempting a full scale solidification.
6.2 Sample Verification 6.2.1 6 2'Prior to full scale solidification of each liner of waste product, a representative sample of each waste product shall be test solidified in the laboratory.
Detailed procedures for test solidification for each waste type are attached as addenda to this procedure.
A, portion of the sample shall be isotopically analyzed to determine the waste class.This test solidification confirms the correct process chemistry ratios to be used in the full scale solidifications of the same.waste batch.The sample solidification should verify that the solidified waste product will be a uniform, dry, free-standing monolith.The waste end product shall resist penetration when probed with a firm object.The operator will number each solidified sample and record the contents of each test solidification on a Sample Verification Worksheet.
A Solidification Worksheet will then be prepared for each liner prior to solidification.
An Operations Logsheet will be prepared for each liner during solidification.
The liner serial number will be recorded on the Operations Logsheet.
PT-51-NS, Rev.10 May 21, 1992 6.2.3 6.2.4 The waste batch will be sampled and a PCP performed per the following schedule: a.Initial samp'le.b..After, additional waste is added to the holdup tanks.c.After every seven days.d.After every tenth batch or 5000 gallons of batch waste, whichever is more frequent.PCP Failure 6.2.F 1 6.2.4.2 6.2.4'If any test specimen fails to verify SOLIDIFICATION, the SOLIDIFICATION of the batch under test shall be suspended until such time as additional test specimens can be obtained.Alternative SOLIDIFI-CATION parameters can be determined in accordance with the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM, and a subsequent test verifies SOLIDIFICATION.
SOLIDIFICATION of the batch may then be resumed using the alternative SOLIDIFICATION parameters determined by the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM.If the initial test specimen from a batch of waste fails to verify SOLIDIFICATION, the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM shall provide for the collection and testing of representative test specimens from each consecutive batch of the sametype of wet waste until at least three consecutive initial test specimens demonstrate SOLIDIFI-CATION.The PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM shall be modified as required to assure SOLIDIFICATION of subsequent batches of waste.If the installed equipment is declared inoperable, restore the equipment to OPERABLE status.
F" PT-51-NS, Rev.10 May 21, 1992 6'Full Scale Solidification Calculations After a laboratory sample has been solidified and it has been confirmed that the waste product will meet the requirements for a satisfactorily solidified end product, the calculations can be made for solidification of the waste form in large containers.
Calculations will be made and recorded on the Solidification Norksheet included in each addendum.7.0 ADDENDA A.B~Liner Data Sheets Solidification of CITROX and Bead Resins'C.Solidification of AP and Bead Resins or 1004 Cation Bead Resins D-Solidification of Oil E.Solidification of Bead Resins and Boric Acid or Class A Granular Activated Carbon and Boric Acid Solidification of'oric Acid G.Solidification of Bead Resins or Class A Granular Activated Carbon H.Solidification of Powdered Resins.

1.2 The WSG operator shall ensure that a Radiological Work Permit has been issued for the performance of the sample verification activity and that adequate personnel monitoring and radiation detection equipment is on hand.1.3 The WSG operator shall ensure that all necessary materials and equipment are on hand prior to beginning the sample verification.
Suggested equipment and materials for the test are as listed below: NOTE 6-300 to 500 mL plastic beakers 6-mixing spatulas 1-500 gram capacity scale 50 ml-Envirostone Emulsifier 10 g-Envirostone Accelerator or Alum (if required)10 g-Red Top Retarder or equivalent (if required)100 g-Anhydrous Sodium Metsosilicate (Metso)1000 g-Envirostone 50 g-Calcium Hydroxide (Lime)50 g-Boric Acid 1000 g-Portland Type I or II Cement The waste and chemicals used to solidify the sample waste must be from the same"containers or lot numbers to be used in the full scale solidification.
1.4 A one-liter sample shall be taken f or sol idif ication in the laboratory for each separate batch of oil to be.processed.
The operator may choose to take the samples from the storage drums to be solidified in the liner, or may take the sample from the liner directly, after the oil has been transferred to the liner.If the sample is taken from the drums prior to transferring the oil to the liner, the operator will take a sample from each drum and mix the samples together in the same ratio that will be mixed in the liner.The sample will consist of 126.6 ml of oil.[This will produce a total sample size of 200 ml after 59.6 ml of water (or Boric Acid concentrations up to 24 wt4)and 13.8 ml of Emulsifier has been added.]The operator may also choose to transfer the appropriate volume of waste oil, water (or Boric Acid concentrations up to 24 wt4)and Emulsifier to the liner, thoroughly emulsify the waste, then take a 200 ml sample of the waste mixture for sample solidification.
This should be done only after it has been established that the oil will solidify using the standard formulas.1~A=S~i-~a V~Wr WV'OTE: Emulsifier is added only if Envirostone is the type solidification agent used.2 of 9 I II 1'C'4l' PT-51-WS, r, Rev.'10 (Addendum D)May 21, 1992 2.0 SAMPLE VERIFICATION 2.1 After the materials and equipment, as listed in the prerequisites to this procedure, are verified available, a sample of the waste will be taken.The operator shall take the sample, as described above.When the operator chooses to take the sample directly f rom the liner, the liner should be filled, to the normal level for solidification of oil (see the appropriate Liner Data Sheet)and the oil mixed for five minutes before sampling.The sample can then be drawn directly from the liner.After the operator has confirmed that the waste oil will solidify in accordance with the normal formulas, the water (or Boric Acid)and emulsifier (if applicable) can be added to the waste oil in the liner and mixed prior to taking the sample for solidification verification.
The waste oil and the chemicals used to solidify the waste oil must be from the same batches as will be used in the full scale solidification.
Record the information obtained during sample verification on the Sample Verification Worksheet.
