SUBJECT:

Waste Form Technical Position, Revision 1 t

The regulation, " Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," 10 CFR Part 61, establishes a waste classification system based on the radionuclide concentrations in the wastes.- Class B and C waste are rec,uired to-be stabilized. Class A wastes have lower concentrations and may be

! segregated without stabilization. Class A wastes may also be stabilized and i- disposed of with stabilized Class B and C wastes. All Class A liquid wastes, i however, require solidification or absorption to meet the free liquid.

} requirements. Structural stability is intended to ensure that the waste -

does not degrade and (a) promote slumping, collapse, or other failure of the l cap or cover over a near-surface disposai unit and thereby lead to water infiltration, or (b) impart a substantial increase in surface area of-the waste form that could lead to an increase in leach rate. Stability 's also a '

{ factor in limiting exposure to an inadvertent intruder since it provides

greater assurance that the waste form will be recognizable and nondispersable F during its hazardous lifetime. Structural stability of a waste form can be

- provided by the waste form itself (as with u.tivated stainless steel components), by processing the waste to a stable form (e.g., solidification),

or by emplacing the waste in a container or structure that provides stability

! (e.g.,highintegrity'containerorengineered, structure).

1

[ This technical position on waste form was initially developed-in-1983 to 4 provide guidance _to both fuel-cycle and non-fuel-cycle waste generators.on

! waste form test methods and results acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing l

the 10 CFR Part 61' waste form requirements. It has been used as an acceptable

approach for demonstrating compliance with the 10 CFR P_ art 61 waste stability j criteria.--This position includes guidance on (1).the processing of wastes into

!- an-acceptable,) stable waste form, (2) the design of acceptable high' integrity.

containers,(3 the.packagingof_filtercartridges,and(4)minimizationof radiation effects on organic ion-exchange. resins. The regulation,-10 CFR 20.311-(d)(1), requires waste generators;and processors to prepare wastes-that meet.the waste characteristics requirements of Part 61_(including the

! requirements for. structural stability)._ The recommendations and_ guidance

provided in this technical position are an acceptable method to demonstrate
waste stability. -0ne way of demonstrating conformance with_the-general-

. recommendations contained in this technical position.is to reference an approved Topical Report, because such reports-are reviewed and approved in -

accordance with the acceptance criteria contained in this technical position. ,

However, additional actions (e.g., plant-specific process control procedures) j by waste generators will be needed to demonstrate that a stabilized i plant-specific waste stream satisfies Part 61 waste form requirements.

j Since the initial issuance of the Technical Position, it has been the intent of the NRC staff to provide additional guidance on waste form as it became necessary to address other pertinent waste form issues. One such issue involves the use of' cement to stabilize-low-level wastes. Field experience and laboratory testing of cement-solidified' low-level radioactive waste has indicated that some unique chemical and physical interactions can occur between l the cement constituents and the chemicals and compounds that can exist in the waste materials. Therefore, an appendix (Appendix "A") dealing with the qualification testing, performance confirmation and reporting of mishaps 4 involving cement-stabilized waste forms has been included in this revision to the Technical Position.

To provide more comprehensive guidance on cement stabilization of low-level radioactive waste, Appendix A addressed several areas of concern that were not considered in the May 1983, Revision 0, version of this Technical Position.

Thus, information and guidance on cement waste form specimen preparation, statistical sampling and analysis, waste characterization, process control program (PCP) specimen preparation and examination,' surveillance speciraens and reporting of mishaps are provided in Appendix A. The guidance provided in' Appendix A is the culmination of an extended period of study and information gathering and exchange between the NRC staff and representatives of various organizations, including government laboratories, the Advisory . Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW), cement processing vendors, other war.te form vendors, nuclear utilities, and state regulatory agencies. Especially useful in the development of the guidance in Appendix A was the information exchanged in a Workshop on Cement Stabilization of low-Level Radioactive Waste held in-June 1989. The Workshop proceedings have been published as an NRC report, NUREG/CP-0103, which is available from the following sources:

Tokar (301-492-0590), or to Hs, M. T. Adams (301-492-0505) of my~ staff. The information collections l
