REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SNUPPS FSAR 360,1 EFFLUENT TREATMENT 360.1 Table 11.4-3 (sheet 2) of the SNUPPS FSAR indicates that the (11.4) estimated annual volume of dry and compacted waste is based upon 3
Table 2-49 of WASH-1258. The estimated volume was 3,380 ft.
Page 11.4-8 of the SNUPPS,FSAR states that the filled drums are sealed and moved to the dry waste storage area in the radwaste building, where they are stored until they are shipped offsite.
Figure 1.2-3 of the SNUPPS FSAR shows that the storage area which has a storage capacity of 722 drums, if stacked three high, and 1055 drums, if stacked five high. Data made available since the publication of WASH-1258 have made that document inappropriate for waste projections. The dry waste volumes estimated by WASH-1258 are much lower than those being generated at operating reactors.
NRC staff calculations, which are based on data from semi-annual effluent reports, show that the volume of dry wastes generated are independent of reactor size and amount to approximately 10,000 ft3 (compacted) annually, which is a factor of three greater than the estimates presented in the SNUPPS FSAR. Also, the growing uncertainty of the availability of burial space has made the availability of adequate storage space at the reactor facility an important issue.
'N Based upon the material presented above, provide information verifying that the storage space at Callaway will be sufficient to handle the storage of drummed waste in accordance with the requirements of Branch Technical Position, ETSB 11-3 (Rev. 1),
item III (Waste Storage).

6 360. 2 Page 11.4-12 of the SNUPPS FSAR discusses shielded stcrage areas (11.4) for "high-level" solidified radwaste and " low-level" solid radwaste.
The term "high-level" is inappropriate and should be revised.
"High-level" generally refers to reprocessing wastes resulting from the first cycle of solvent extraction. More recently, use of the term has been, extended to cover spent reactor fuel. See 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix F, item 2.
