(
TWMM)
is
to
describe
how
requirements
to

waste
to
the
Waste

Pilot
Plant
(
WIPP)
are
met
and
to
provide
some
of
the
sitespecific
program
documents.

Section

hereafter
referred

the
WIPPWAC
requires
that
each
participating
site
develop
and
implement
site­
specific
transuranic

program
documents
that
address
applicable
requirements
and
criteria
pertaining
to
packaging,
characterization,
and
certification
of
each
defense
TRU
waste
package
to
be
shipped
to
WIPP.
The
WIPP­

describes
the
site­
specific
program
documents
that
must
be
prepared
and
approved
in
response
to
Carlsbad
Field
Office
(
CBFO)
requirements.
Section
2
of
this
document
describes
the
site­
specific
program
documents
required
and
identifies
RFETS

that
have
been
created
to
meet
the
requirements.

DOE
Order
435.1,
Radioactive

(
U.
S.
DOE,
1999),
requires
that
a

identifying
how
the
site
will
ensure
compliance
with
the
waste
transportation
and
disposal
criteria/
requirements
applicable
to
the
WIPP
facility.
The
RFETS
certification
plan
is
the
same
as
the
Waste

Plan
required
by
CBFO.
Section

directs
all

management
responsible
for
the
development
of
new
TRU
waste
generation,
packaging,
or
characterization
operations
to
assess
these
operations
to
determine
if
additional
controls
are
required.
If
additional
controls
are
required,
responsible
management
is
required
to
characterize
process
attributes
in
order
to
define
and
document
process
parameter
values
that
produce
process
outcomes
in
compliance
with
WIPP
requirements.
Operations
are
then
required
to
comply
with
the
stated
process
parameter
settings
and
allowable
values
as
stated
in
the
PCP
and/
or
the
PQP
and
implemented
in
referenced
operational
procedures.
The
PCPs
are
typically
directed
at
waste
generation
operations,
while
the
PQPs
are
typically
directed
at
waste
characterization
and
waste
treatment
operations
that
produce
data
for
waste
certification.
Responsible
operations
management
may
elect
to
prepare
both
plans
if
they
deem
they
are
necessary.

The
PCPs/
PQPs
are
prepared
by
organizations
responsible
to
develop
new
processes
and
are
reviewed
and
approved
for
adequacy
and
completeness
against

is
required
to
document
the
procedures
and
methods
that
are
used
for
waste
characterization.
The
RFETS

2.2.4
Graded
Approach
Procedure
The
QAPD
requires
that
each
site
prepare
a
Graded
Approach
Procedure.
The
procedure
is
to
be
used
to
determine
the
appropriate
controls
necessary
to
manage
the
items,

Work
on

is
performed
according
to
established
technical
standards
and
administrative
controls
(
procedures)
identified
in
this
document
and
the
TWCP
QAPjP.
Each
person
supporting
the
project
is
responsible
for
the
quality
of
his
or
her
work
and
has
the
goal
of
doing
work
correctly
the
first
time.
Management
of
the
project
has
established
processes
and
procedures
to
ensure
that
work
is
planned
and
performed
under
controlled
conditions
by
trained
personnel;
items
are
maintained
to
prevent
their
damage,
loss,
or
deterioration;
and
equipment
used
for
process
monitoring
or
data
collection
are
calibrated
and
maintained.

This
section
further
establishes
management
involvement
in
the
work
processes
through
their
interactions
with
personnel
performing
the
work
and
through
their
review
and
assessment
of
ongoing
and
completed
work.
This
will
help
ensure
that
the
definition
of
"
acceptable
work
performance"
is
clearly
communicated
and
that
personnel
are
provided
the
necessary
training,
resources,
and
administrative
controls
to
properly
accomplish
their
tasks.
These
processes
and

Special
Processes
Special
processes
are
those
processes
whose
results
are
highly
dependent
on
control
of
process,
the
skill
of
the
operator
and/
or
processes
where

Listed
below
are
the

special
processes
associated
with
the
TRU

Real­
Time
Radiography
(
RTR)

RTR
is
designated
as
a
"
special"
process
due
to
the
skill
required
to
accurately
interpret
radiographs
of
sealed
waste
packages.
The
RTR
operators
must
be
certified
prior
to
conducting
waste
package
radiography.
Training
and
certification
of
RFETS
RTR
operators
is
conducted
by
the
NDT
department
in
accordance
with

RFETS
calibrating
organizations
comply
with
MAN­
092­
M&

for
performing
calibrations
of
test

Those
instruments
that
are
calibrated

and
the

recorded
and
maintained
(

must
either
be

Corrective
actions
are
documented
and
tracked
according
to
3­
X31­
CAP­
001,
Corrective

Surveillances
are
performed
to:
1)
monitor
work
in
progress;
2)
verify
compliance
with
established
requirements
and
procedures;
3)
identify
actual
and
potential
conditions
adverse
to
quality;
4)
obtain
timely
corrective
action
commitment
from
cognizant
managers
for

Audits
and
surveillances
of
activities
performed
by
other
organizations
are
reviewed
by
the
TWCP
Site

CERTIFICATION
This
section
describes
the
characterization,
packaging,
and
certification
process
followed
at
RFETS
to
prepare
TRU
waste
for
shipment
to
WIPP.
The
Waste

program
requirements
from
10

are
addressed
in
Section

4.1
Characterization
Process
Acceptable
Knowledge
(
AK)
is
used
to
characterize
TRU
waste.
Certification
of
RFETS
to
the
WIPP
disposal
and
transportation
criteria
is
accomplished
using
a
"
tiered"
or
hierarchical
approach.
The
certification
process
begins
with
the
waste
generator
who
must
generate
waste
to

all
personnel
involved
in
radioactive
line
and
non­
line
generated
waste
packaging
activities
both
inside
and
outside
the
Protected
Area
(
PA).

The
first
part
of
the
actual
waste
certification
process
is
performed
by
the
waste
generator
who
affirms
by
signature
on
the
W/
RT
that
the
waste
is
properly
identified,
segregated,
and
packaged
in
accordance
to
the
procedures.
In
addition,
a
verification
signature
is
required
by
a
person
(
not
the
same
person
that
signed
the
waste
generator
signature)
who
is
trained
and
qualified
to
package
and
segregate
waste
for
the
area
of
the
package
origin.
Details
on
the
W/
RT
and
the
waste
generator
statements
are
provided
in
Section
4.3.1.

During
the
waste
handling
and
packaging
process,
applicable
information
on
the
waste
package
paperwork
is
entered
into
the
WEMS,
in
addition
to
the
information
obtained
from
the
count
sheets
(
from
NDA
of
package)
and
Hazardous
Waste
Label.
Information
pertinent
to
the
certification
is
continually
entered
into
WEMS
as
the
package
is
transferred
on­
site.
(
See
Section
4.3.2
for
more
information
on
WEMS.)

The
signatures
on
the
waste
package
paperwork
and
information
from
WEMS
are
used
by
the
WCO
to
assess
the
package
and
its
contents
for
compliance
with
the
certification
requirements.
Section
4.2
provides
more
details
on
other
information
used
as
a
basis
for
certification
by
the
WCO.
The
WCO
affirms
compliance
for
each
waste
package
by
completing
the
checklist
in
PRO­
X05­
WC­
4018,
Transuranic
(

is
also

Characterization
Process
(
continued)

Certification
that
waste
shipments
comply
with
DOT
requirements
is
provided
on
the
Bill
of
Lading,
and
signed
by
the
TCO
or
designated
alternate,
after
all
other
certifications
are
complete.
Certification
that
mixed
waste
shipments
comply
with
RCRA
requirements
is
provided
on
the
Uniform
Hazardous
Waste
Manifest,
also
signed
by
the
TCO
after
all
other
certifications
are
complete.
Mixed
waste
requires
a
Uniform
Hazardous
Waste
Manifest.

This
tiered
approach
provides
instructions
to
all
involved
personnel
so
that
all
wastes
are
properly
characterized,
identified,
in
compliance
with
requirements,
and
ready
for
off­

shipment.
The
following
sections
provide
descriptions
of
the
responsibilities
and
functions
of
each
unit
in
this
tiered
approach.

AK
was
used
to
characterize
legacy
wastes
packaged
prior
to
the
full
implementation
of
the
TWCP
(
December
16,
1992).
Specific
criteria
for
AK
data
contents
and
assembly
are
contained
in
the
WIPP­
WAP.
RFETS
uses
a
three
phase
process
to
characterize
TRU
wastes
by
means
of
AK
information:
1)
compiling
enough
AK
documentation
for
an
auditable
record,
2)
confirming
AK
information
using
radiography,
sampling
and
analysis
(
as
applicable),
and
3)
audit
of
AK
records.

operations
until
the
waste
is
sent
to
an
off­
site
facility.
Information
obtained
from
the

all
waste
package
data
must
be
verified
for
accuracy
and
completeness.
This
data
verification
includes
the
resolution
of
any
discrepancies
between
the
data
in
WEMS
and
the
data
shown
on
the
documentation
accompanying
the
package.

 
Certification
Once
a
package
has
been
verified
as
correct
in
WEMS
it
is
reviewed
for
certification.
The
package
is
certified
in
WEMS
when
it
meets
all
the
criteria
for
shipment
and
is
acceptable
for
the
appropriate
off­
site
facility.

Data
is
electronically
transferred
to
the
WIPP
Waste

WEMS
is
programmed
to
halt
the
verification
of

Waste
streams
are
characterized
and
assigned
unique
numbers
for
waste
management
purposes.
The
WSRIC
provides
preliminary
designations
of
waste
streams
as
RCRA
regulated
or
non­
RCRA
regulated.

project
was
responsible
for
compiling
characterization
information
for
process
waste
and
residues
generated
prior
to
the
implementation
of
the
WSRIC
and
the
W/
RT
programs.
Information
from
numerous
sources
was
reviewed
to
assess
the
characterization
of
the
containers
in
the
backlog
inventory.
The
results
of
this
assessment
were
documented
in
the
BWRBB.
The
resulting
changes
to
container
characterization
were
incorporated
into
WEMS
and
on
container
documentation,
if
necessary.
The
BWRBB
is
maintained
as
a
controlled
document
and
updated
to
reflect
current
container
characterization
as
new
information
becomes
available
for
the
inventory.
In
addition,
the
BWRBB
is
being
utilized
to

Waste
packages
are
uniquely
identified
from
the

up
to
and
including
use,
packaging,
storage,
and
transportation
to
the

RFETS
CERTIFICATION
TO
WIPP
WASTE
ACCEPTANCE
CRITERIA
The
requirements
and
associated
criteria
for
acceptance
of
defense
TRU
waste
at
WIPP
for
disposal
(
the
WIPP­
WAC
Section
3)
and
the
method(
s)
of
compliance
employed
at
RFETS
to
meet
these
criteria
are
specified
in
the
following
subsections.
The
acceptance
criteria
of
the
WIPP­
WAC
describe
the
controlling
(
i.
e.,
the
most
restrictive)
requirements
to
be
used
by
RFETS
in
preparing
waste
for
transportation
to
and
disposal
at
the
WIPP.
In
some
instances
the
acceptance
criteria
and
regulatory
requirements
are
synonymous.
The
WIPP­
WAC
requirements
are
derived
from
several
source
documents:
the
WIPP
SAR,
the
TRUPACT­
II
Certificate
of
Compliance,
the
WIPP
Land
Withdrawal
Act,
the
WIPP
Hazardous
Waste

and
the
Criteria
for
the
Certification
and
Re­
Certification
of
the
Waste

Pilot
Plant's
Compliance
with
the
40
CFR
Part
191
 
Disposal
Regulations.
Definitions
of
terms
used
in
this
document
are
included
as
Section
9.1.

5.1
General
All
of
the
requirements
and
associated
criteria
from
the
WIPP­
WAC
are
addressed
in
this
section.
However,
some
of
these
criteria
are
not
limiting
when
the
restrictions
for
TRUPACT­
II
payload
control
and
the
WIPP
Waste
Acceptance
Criteria
are
combined.
The
TRUPACT­
II
payload
criteria
that
are
defined
in
the
TRAMPAC
parallel
the
WIPP­
WAC
for
many
of
the
restrictions.
In
the
cases
where
the
WIPPWAC
and
the
TRAMPAC
have
identified
equivalent
criteria
or
where
the
TRAMPAC
criteria
are
more
restrictive,
Section
6.0
of
this
TWMM,
RFETS
TRUPACT­
II
Payload
Compliance
Plan,
is
referenced
to
demonstrate
compliance.

The
WIPP
Waste
Acceptance
Requirements
and
Criteria
(
WIPP­
WAC,
Section
3)
are
organized
into
five
main
categories
in
this

These
categories
(
and
their

include
the
following:

 
Container

Radiological
Properties
(
Section

Within
each
of
these

the
specific
requirement(

is
quoted
and
the
method(
s)
of
compliance
documented.
Only
CH­
TRU

stream
may
be
certified
as
meeting
the
requirements
and
associated
criteria
contained
in
the
WIPP­

Any
waste
payload
package
from
a
waste
stream
that
has
not
been
preceded
by
an
appropriate
certified
WSPF
is
not
acceptable
for
disposal
at
WIPP.

RFETS
plans
and

as
referenced
in

contain
details
of
the
processes,
controls,
techniques,
tests,
and
other
actions
to
be
applied
to
each
TRU
payload
package,
waste
stream,
and
shipment.
Methods
of
compliance
with
each
requirement
are
described
and
the
specific
procedure
cited.
These
methods
of
compliance
include
procedural
controls,
administrative
controls,
and
waste

process
controls.
The
QA
requirements
applicable
to
waste
characterization,

and
transportation
are
addressed
in
the
TWCP
QAPjP,
and
Sections
3,
4.6,
and
Appendix
4
of
this
TWMM.
The
data
resulting
from
the

will
form
the

for
verifying
that
CH­
TRU
waste

official.

RFETS
shall
transmit
required
characterization,
certification,
and
shipping
data
to
WIPP
using
the
WWIS.
The
WWIS
is
an
electronic
database
equipped
with
edit/
limit
checks
to
ensure
that
the
data
representing
the
waste
payload
packages
are
in
compliance
with
the
WIPP­
WAC.
Before
shipping
TRU
waste
payload
packages
from
a
WIPP­
accepted
waste
stream,
RFETS
shall
transmit
the
required
waste
characterization,
certification,
and
shipping
data
via
WWIS
to
WIPP.
RFETS
may
periodically
be
requested
to
transmit
payload
package
radiography
reports
or
other
data
to
WIPP.
WIPP
will
not
accept
any
waste
package
shipments
for
disposal
if
the
waste
payload
package
information
has
not
been
correctly
submitted
and
approved
for
shipment
by
the
WWIS
Data
Administrator.
The
WWIS
User's

provides
the
information
needed
by
TRU
waste
sites
to
perform
tasks
associated
with
transmittal
of
the

not
controlled
by

Description
Acceptance
Criterion.
Each
payload
package
shall
be
assigned
to
a
payload
shipping
category.
Authorized
payload
packages
include:

 
55­
gallon
drums
(
either
direct
loaded
or
containing
a
POC)

 
SWBs
(
either
direct
loaded,
or
containing
up
to
four
direct
loaded
55­
gallon
drums,
or
containing
one
bin)

 
TDOPs
(
either
containing
up
to
ten
direct
loaded
55­
gallon
drums,
six
85­
gallon
drum
overpacks,
or
one
SWB)

Payload
packages
shall
meet
U.
S.
Department
of
Transportation
(
DOT)
Specification
7A,
Type
A,
packaging
requirements.
Payload
packages
must
be
made
of
steel
and
be
in
good
and
unimpaired
condition
prior
to
shipment
from
RFETS.
To
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
requirement
that
payload
packages
be
in
good
and
unimpaired
condition,
the
exterior
of
all
payload
packages
shall
undergo
100%
visual
examination
prior
to
loading
into
a
TRUPACT­
II.
The
results
of
this
visual
examination
shall
be
documented
using
the
payload
package
integrity
checklist
contained
in
Appendix
3.
A
payload
package
in
good
and
unimpaired
condition
1)
does
not
have
significant
rusting,
2)
is
of
sound
structural
integrity,
and,
3)
does
not
leak.
Significant
rusting
is
a
readily
observable
loss
of
metal
due
to
oxidation
(
e.
g.,
flaking,
bubbling,
or
pitting)
that
causes
degradation
of
the
payload
package's
structural
integrity.
Rusting
that
causes
discoloration
of
the
payload
package
surface
or
consists
of
minor
flaking
is
not
considered
significant.
A
payload
package
is
not
of
sound
structural
integrity
if
it
has
breaches
or
significant
denting/
deformation.
Breaching
is
defined
as
a
penetration
in
the
payload
package
that
exposes
the
internals
of
the
packaging.
Significant
denting/
deformation
is
defined
as
damage
to
the
payload
package
that
results
in
creasing,
cracking,
or
gouging
of
the
metal,
or
damage
that
affects
payload
package
closure.
Dents
or
deformations
that
do
not
result
in
creasing,
cracking,
or
gouging
or
affect
payload
package
closure
are
not
considered
significant.
RFETS
will
report
to
the
WWIS
the
number
and
types
of
payload
packages
planned
for
shipment
to
the
WIPP.

Dunnage
Acceptance
Criterion.
RFETS
shall
use
empty
55­
gallon
drums
or
a
SWB
as
dunnage
to
complete
a
payload
configuration
if
too
few

Radiological
Properties
With
respect
to
the
required
radiological
properties
identified
within
this
section,
they
can
be
divided
into
two
distinct
groups.

The
first
group
includes
the
activities
and
masses
of
the
ten
WIPP­
tracked
radionuclides
(
i.
e.,
241Am,
238Pu,
239Pu,
240Pu,
242Pu,
233U,
234U,
238U,
90Sr,
and
137Cs)
and
the
TRU
alpha
activity
concentration
(
i.
e.,
>
100
nCi/
g
of
alpha­
emitting
TRU
isotopes
with
half
lives
greater
than
20
years)
of
the
waste.
This
set
of
radiological
properties
is
regulated
by
the
EPA
in
accordance
with
40
CFR
Parts
191
and
194.
Estimates
of
their
activities
and
masses
shall
be
derived
from
a
system
of
controls
certified
by
CBFO
that
includes
AK,
computations,
measurements,
sampling,
etc.
Appendix
4
provides
the
methods
and
requirements
by
which
to
characterize
the
radiological
composition
of
the
CH­
TRU
waste
utilizing
radioassay
techniques.

The
second
group
includes
the
remaining
radionuclides
contributing
to
the
fissile
gram
equivalent
(
FGE),
the
plutonium­
239
equivalent
curies
(
PE­
Ci),
and
the
decay
heat
of
the
payload
package.
This
set
of
radiological
data
is
regulated
both
by
the
NRC
as
specified
in
the
TRAMPAC
and
the
CBFO
as
required
by
the
WIPP
Technical
Safety
Requirements.
PE­
Ci
quantities
shall
be
calculated
for
each
payload
package
in
accordance
with
Appendix
B
of
the
WIPP­
WAC.
Any
TRAMPAC
compliant
method
may
be
used
to
quantify
the
remaining
radiological
properties
at
the
discretion
of
RFETS.
Appendix
4
provides
radioassay
methods
by
which
to
characterize
the
remaining
radiological
properties.
However,
the
resulting
data
(
e.
g.,
AK
from
Safeguards
and
Security
data),
the
source/
method
from
which
the
data
was
generated,
and
the
basis
for
the
reliability
of
the
data
shall
be
submitted
to
and
approved
by
CBFO
prior
to
use.

5.3.1
Radionuclide
Composition
Acceptance
Criterion.
The
activities
and
masses
of
241Am,
238Pu,
239Pu,
240Pu,
242Pu,
233U,
234U,
238U,
90Sr,
and
137Cs
shall
be
established
on
a
payload
package
basis
for
purposes
of
tracking
their
contributions
to
the
total
WIPP
radionuclide
inventory.
The
estimated
activities
and
masses,
including
their
associated
total
measurement
uncertainties
(
TMU)
expressed
in
terms
of
one
standard
deviation,
for
these
ten
radionuclides
shall
be
reported
to
the
WWIS
on
a
payload
package
basis.
For
any
of
these
ten
radionuclides
whose
presence
can
be
substantiated
from
AK,
direct
measurement,
computations,
or
a
combination
thereof,
and
whose
measured
data
are
determined
to
be
below
the
lower
limit
of
detection
(
LLD)
for
that
radionuclide,
RFETS
shall
report
the
character
string
"<
LLD"
to
the
WWIS
for
the
activity
and
mass
of
that
radionuclide;
otherwise
a
value
of
zero
shall
be
reported.
See
Appendix
4,
Section
A4.3,
for
information
pertaining
to
the
development
and
application
of

5.3.2.1
Methods
of
Compliance
The
quantity
of
radioactive
material
in
payload
packages
is
determined
by
approved
and
authorized
assay
methods
(
refer
to
Appendix
4).
Assay
is
either
performed
directly
on
the
payload
package
or
on
all
of
the
smaller
waste
packages
composing
the
payload
package.
If
the
payload
package
is
not
directly
assayed,
then
the
assay
values
(
and
uncertainties)
for
the
payload
package
are
calculated
from
the
associated
assay
results
for
all
of
the
smaller
packages
composing
the
payload
package.
The
assay
results
are
used
to
calculate
the
Pu­
239
FGE
and
associated
uncertainty.

The
Pu­
239
FGE
of
the
radionuclides
in
each
waste
package
is
reported
to
WIPP
using
the
WWIS.
Refer
to
Section
6.3.1.2
for
more
specific
information
on
the
methods
of
compliance
for
the

TRU
Alpha
Activity
Concentration
Acceptance
Criterion.
TRU
waste
payload
packages
shall
contain
more
than
100
nCi/
g
of
alpha­
emitting
TRU
isotopes
with
half­
lives
greater
than
20
years.
Without
taking
into
consideration
the
TMU,
the
TRU
alpha
activity
concentration
for
a
payload
package
is
determined
by
dividing
the
TRU
alpha
activity
of
the
waste
by
the
weight
of
the
waste.
The
weight
of
the
waste
is
the
weight
of
the
material
placed
into
the
payload
package
(
i.
e.,
the
net
weight
of
the
package).
The
weight
of
the
waste
is
typically
determined
by
subtracting
the
tare
weight
of
the
payload
package
(
including
the
weight
of
the
rigid
liner
and
any
shielding
external
from
the
waste,
if
applicable)
from
the
gross
weight
of
the
payload
package.
In
the
event
waste
packages
(
e.
g.,
55­
gallon
drums)
that
have
been
radioassayed
are
overpacked
in
a
payload
package
(
e.
g.,
in
an
SWB),
RFETS
shall
sum
the
individual
TRU
alpha
activity
values
of
the
individual
waste
packages
and
divide
by
the
sum
of
the
individual
net
waste
weights
(
i.
e.,
less
container,
shielding,
and
liner
weights
as
appropriate)
to
determine
the
activity
per
gram
for
the
payload
package.
Loading
a
55­
gallon
POC
with
cans
is
considered
direct
loading
­
not
overpacking
for
the
purposes
of
calculating
the
weight
of
the
package.
The
TRU
alpha
activity
concentration
shall
be
reported
to
the
WWIS;
however,
there
are
no
reporting
requirements
for
its
associated
TMU.

5.5.3.1
Methods
of
Compliance
Compliance
with
chemical
compatibility
requirements
is
accomplished
by
only
shipping
wastes
under
approved
TRUCON
codes.
Chemical
compatibility
is
evaluated
during
the
submittal
and
authorization
of
site
TRUCON
codes.
Chemical
compatibility
is
accomplished
by
only
shipping
waste
that
comply
with
the
TRUPACT­
II
chemical
lists
for
the
assigned
TRUCON
code
and
waste
material
type.
Refer
to
Sections
6.4.3
and
6.4.4
for
additional
information
on
the
TRUPACT­
II
chemical
lists.

5.5.4
Explosives,
Corrosives,
and
Compressed
Gases
Acceptance
Criterion.
Waste
shall
contain
no
explosives,
corrosives,
or
compressed
gases
(
pressurized
containers).

5.5.4.1
Methods
of
Compliance
The
TRAMPAC
Section
(
Section
6.4.2.2)
documents
compliance
with
the
restriction
on
explosives,
corrosives,
and

Acceptance
Criterion.
The
headspace

shall
be
sampled
and
analyzed
in
accordance
with
an
approved
site
specific
QAPjP,
as
defined
in
the
WIPP
WAP,
to
determine
VOC
concentrations.

Flammable
VOCs
are
restricted
to
 
500
ppm
in
the
payload
package
headspace.
For
those
payload
packages
that
exceed
the
flammable
VOC
limit,
a
determination
of
compliance
with
the
unified
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
concentration
limit
as
described
in
the
TRAMPAC
allows
the
payload
package
to
be
shipped
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
under
the
test
category.

Test
category
payload
packages
shall
be
tested
to
quantify
the
hydrogen/
methane,
VOC,
and
total
gas
generation
rates
(
as
appropriate)
for
purposes
of
determining
if
all
applicable
limits
are
met.

5.5.5.1
Methods
of

(
TRAMPAC)
COMPLIANCE
PLAN
6.1
Introduction
The
TRAMPAC
is
the
governing
document
for
payload
shipments
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.
All
users
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
are
required
to
comply
with
all
payload
requirements
outlined
in
the
TRAMPAC,
using
one
or
more
of
the
methods
described
therein.

Each
site
shipping
TRU
waste
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
is
required
to
prepare
a
sitespecific
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan.
This
section
of
the
TWMM
(
i.
e.,
Section
6.0)
constitutes
the
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
for
RFETS.

This
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
identifies
requirements
and
responsibilities
for
the
management
of
TRU
and
TRU
mixed
waste
in
order
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
payload
restrictions
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
package
as
outlined
in
the
TRAMPAC.
The
TRAMPAC
lists
the
restrictions
on
the
waste
to
be
transported
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
and
the
allowable
methods
for
determination
and
control
of
these
restrictions,
and
this
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
also
identifies
applicable
procedures
to
demonstrate
how
RFETS
complies
with
each
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
payload
restrictions.
Appendix
10
correlates
TRUPACT­
II
payload
restrictions
to
applicable
RFETS
procedures.
The
RFETS
procedures
will
also
be
shown
to
be
acceptable
methods
for
payload
control
and/
or
determination
and
verification
as
is
dictated
by
the
TRAMPAC.
Adherence
to
the
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
ensures
that
RFETS
TRU
and
TRU
mixed
wastes
are
characterized,
packaged,
and
controlled
according
to
the
methods
and
procedures
described
herein
and
will
qualify
for
transport
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
package.

6.1.1
Scope
The
scope
of
the
RFETS
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
is
to
define
and
identify
the
methods
used
to
ensure
that
only
authorized
contents
are
shipped
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
package
from
RFETS.

6.1.2
Purpose
The
purpose
of
this
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
is
to:

 
Define
the
applicable
requirements
for
a
payload
to
be
transported
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.

 
Describe
the
methods
of
compliance
used
at
RFETS
to
prepare
and
characterize
the
contact­
handled
(
CH)
TRU
materials
or
other
payload
materials
prior
to
transport
in
a
TRUPACT­
II
package,
including
the
quality
control
(
QC)
and
quality
assurance
(
QA)
programs
that
shall
be
applied
to
these
methods.

Requirements
Requirements
are
established
to
ensure
compliance
of
the
payload
with
the
transportation
parameters
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
packaging.
This
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
identifies
payload
requirements
under
the
following
categories:

 
Container
and
Physical
Properties
 
Nuclear
Properties
 
Chemical
Properties
 
Gas
Generation
 
Payload
Assembly
 
Quality
Assurance.

6.1.4
Methods
of
Compliance
The
TRAMPAC
describes
all
allowable
methods
to
be
used
for
determining
compliance
with
each
payload
requirement
and
the
controls
imposed
on
the
use
of
each
method.
This
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan
describes
the
specific
allowable
methods
used
at
RFETS
to
ensure
that
the
payload
is
compliant
with
each
requirement
and
is
qualified
for
shipment.

Compliance
with
transportation
requirements
applies
to
the
following
two
categories
of
waste:

1.
Waste
Generated
Under
a
Formal
Certification
Program.
Payload
packages
in
this
category
(
designated
"
100
Series")
are
characterized
individually
based
on
process
knowledge
and
visual
examination
at
the
time
of
waste
generation.
For
sites
using
a
set
of
site/
equipment­
specific
procedures
for
payload
control
for
compliance,
an
independent
verification
of
compliance
must
be
performed
prior
to
transport
for
no
less
than
10
percent
of
the
100
Series
payload
packages
transported
from
each
site
per
year.
This
independent
verification
may
consist
of
a
second
operator
verifying
the
package
contents
or
waste
records
during
the
waste
generation
process
or
RTR.

2.
Waste
Generated
Prior
to
Site
Implementation
of
a
Formal
Certification
Program.
Payload
packages
in
this
category
(
designated
"
200
Series")
are
characterized
based
on
process
knowledge.
An
independent
verification
of
compliance
shall
be
performed
prior
to
transport
for
200
Series
waste
using
visual
examination,
RTR,
measurement,
etc.,
under
a
statistical
sampling
program.

NOTE:
All
waste
currently
at
RFETS
was
generated
after
a
formal
certification
program
was
established
at
the
Site
in
the
mid­
1980s
and
so
is
categorized
as
"
100
Series"
waste.

A
summary
of
the
methods
of
compliance
used,
individually
or
together,
for
TRUPACT­
II
payload
control
is
provided
in
the
following
subsections.

6.1.4.1
Visual
Examination
Visual
examination
at
the
time
of
waste
generation
may
be
used
to
qualify
waste
for
transport
(
e.
g.,
100
Series
waste).
The
operator(
s)
of
a
waste
generating
area
shall
visually
examine
the
physical
form
of
the
waste
according
to
site/
equipment­
specific
procedures,
and
remove
all
prohibited
waste
forms,
prior
to
its
placement
in
the
payload
package.
Observation
of
the
waste
generation
process
by
an
independent
operator
may
be
used
as
an
independent
verification
of
the
compliance
prior
to
closure
of
the
payload
package.
Visual
examination
under
a
sampling
program
may
be
used
to
verify
the
absence
of
prohibited
items
(
e.
g.,
200
Series
waste).
See
the
TWCP
QAPjP,
Section
B­
3c
for
details.

6.1.4.2
Visual
Inspection
Visual
inspection
may
be
used
to
evaluate
compliance
with
specific
restrictions
(
e.
g.,
visual
inspection
of
payload
package
type,
marking,
number
of
filters,
etc.).
Visual
inspection
by
a
second
operator
may
be
considered
independent
verification.

6.1.4.3
Real­
Time
Radiography
RTR
may
be
used
as
an
independent
verification
to
qualify
waste
for
transport.
RTR
shall
be
used
to
nondestructively
examine
the
physical
form
of
the
waste,
and
to
verify
the
absence
of
prohibited
waste
forms,
after
the
payload
package
is
closed.
Site/
equipment­
specific
QA
and
QC
procedures
should
ensure
that
RTR
operator(
s)
are
properly
trained
and
qualified.
See
Section
3.2.4.2.2
for
additional
details.

Records
and
Database
Information
Information
obtained
from
existing
site
records
and/
or
databases
or
knowledge
of
process
may
be
used
as
a
basis
for
reporting
the
absence
of
prohibited
waste
forms
within
waste
packages.
This
information
can
be
verified
using
RTR
and/
or
a
waste
sampling
program.

6.1.4.5
Administrative
and
Procurement
Controls
Site­
specific
administrative
and
procurement
controls
may
be
used
to
show
that
the
payload
package
contents
are
monitored
and
controlled,
and
to
demonstrate
the
absence
of
prohibited
items.

6.1.4.6
Sampling
Programs
Sampling
programs
may
be
used
as
an
independent
verification
of
the
compliance
(
e.
g.,
for
200
Series
waste).
A
site­
specific
sampling
program
designed
to
address
all
payload
requirements
needing
verification
is
recommended.

6.1.4.7
Measurement
Direct
measurement
or
evaluation
based
on
analysis
using
the
direct
measurement
may
be
used
to
qualify
waste
(
e.
g.,
direct
measurement
of
the
weight
or
analysis
of
assay
data
to
determine
decay
heat).

6.1.5
TRUCON
Document
The
TRUCON
document
is
a
catalog
of
authorized
contents
for
the
TRUPACT­
II
and
provides
specific
information
on
the
transportation
parameters
for
each
RFETS
authorized
content
code.
Content
codes
in
TRUCON
describe
how
a
particular
waste
form
complies
with
the
TRAMPAC.
Each
code
is
assigned
to
one
or
more
payload
shipping
categories.
A
shipping
category
places
restrictions
on
the
transportation
parameters
that
are
discussed
in
this
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan.

A
content
code
begins
with
a
two­
letter
abbreviation
to
identify
the
shipping
site
(
i.
e.,
RF
denotes
RFETS).
This
is
followed
by
a
three­
digit
number:
AXX.
If
A
is
"
1,"
this
indicates
that
the
waste
was
generated
after
a
formal
certification
program
was
established
at
the
Site.
If
A
is
"
2"
this
indicates
that
the
waste
was
generated
before
a
formal
certification
program
was
established
at
the
Site.
Note:
The
vast
majority
of
waste
currently
at
RFETS
was
generated
after
a
formal
certification
program
was
established
at
the
Site
in
the
mid­
1980s
and
so
is
categorized
as
"

All
payload
packages
must
have
an
approved
TRUCON
code
to
be
eligible
for
shipment
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.
Table
6­

If
RFETS
requires
the
transportation
of
TRU
waste
in
the
TRUPACT­

the
revision
or
addition
of
a
content
code
must
be
requested
in
writing
and
submitted
to
the
TRUPACT­
II
Cognizant
Engineer.
The
process
for
requesting
a
new
or
revised
content
code
is
outlined
in
Section
1.5
of
the
TRAMPAC.
Specifically,
a
shipping
site
is
required
to
perform
the
following
actions
to
add
or
revise
a
TRUCON
code:

1.
The
Site
prepares
in
writing
a
draft
TRUCON
code
containing
sufficient
information
to
satisfy
all
of
the
necessary
elements
of
a
TRUCON
code,
previously
identified.
If
the
request
is
for
a
TRUCON
code
revision,
only
the
revised
elements
require
preparation
and
documentation.
The
site
shall
ensure
that
the
information
submitted
in
the
form
of
a
TRUCON
code
addition
or
revision
accurately
describes
the
waste
and
waste
generating
processes
to
the
best
of
their
knowledge.

2.
The
site
submits
the
draft
TRUCON
code
or
TRUCON
code
elements
in
writing
to
the
TRUPACT­
II
Cognizant
Engineer
for
review.

3.
If
the
request
is
approved,
a
site
may
begin
using
the
new
or
revised
TRUCON
code
once
official
notification
is
received
from
the
TRUPACT­
II
Cognizant
Engineer.
Sites
may
not
use
proposed
TRUCON
code
additions
or
revisions
to
make
shipments
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
prior
to
receipt
of
written
notification
from
the
TRUPACT­
II
Cognizant
Engineer.

is
used
to
calculate
the

weight
is
obtained
by
summing
the

(
plus
265

at
the
time
of
packaging
involves
using
a
second
operator
(
or
QA
inspector),
other
than
the

to
inspect
the
waste
and
verify

6.3
Nuclear
Properties
Requirements
The
nuclear
properties'
requirements
outlined
in
this
section
require
a
knowledge
of
isotopic
composition
and
quantity
of
fissile
material.
The
four
major
product
material
isotopic
compositions
are:

 
Weapons­
grade
plutonium
(
Pu)
(
primarily
Pu­
239)

 
Fuel­
grade
plutonium
(
primarily
Pu­
239)

 
Heat­
source
plutonium
(
primarily
Pu­
238)

 
Other
transuranic
isotopes.

RFETS
process
areas
usually
only
handle
product
materials
of
specific
isotopic
composition
(
e.
g.,
weapons­
grade
plutonium
composition
is
shown
in
Section
6.3.1.2).
Therefore,
the
isotopic
composition
in
the
waste
from
specific
process
areas
remains
constant
since
product
isotopic
composition
is
closely
controlled
to
meet
production
isotopic
specification
requirements.

Plutonium
is
also
recovered
from
scrap
material
to
produce
product
material.
TRU
wastes
generated
from
scrap
recovery
operations
are
assigned
the
same
plutonium
isotopic
composition
as
the
product
material.
The
recovery
operation
removes
the
non­
plutonium
radionuclides
[
e.
g.,
241Am]
from
the
scrap
material.
The
removed
radionuclides
are
concentrated
in
the
recovery
operation's
waste
streams,
and
additional
analyses
(
e.
g.,
gamma
ray
pulse
height
analysis)
are
performed
on
the
waste
streams,
to
determine
their
isotopic
composition.

Nuclear
Properties
Requirements
(
continued)

Other
product
material
mixtures
are
occasionally
produced
by
special
request,
and
the
isotopic
compositions
of
these
special
mixtures
[
e.
g.,
varying
ratios
of
241Am,
244Cm,
and
252Cf]
are
thoroughly
characterized
by
the
production
facility.

Research
and
development
facilities
provide
support
to
the
plutonium
production
facilities
and
utilize
a
production
facility's
product
specification
data
[
determined
by
mass
spectrometry
(
MS)]
when
assigning
the
radioisotopic
composition
to
their
waste.

Facilities
that
produce
or
utilize
special
(
non­
plutonium)
TRU
radionuclides
have
more
variability
in
the
isotopic
distribution
in
the
waste.
There
is
less
reliance
on
production
records
and
specifications
for
determining
isotopic
distribution.

Facilities
that
examine
special
reactor
fuels
have
the
most
detailed
and
traceable
data
regarding
the
isotopic
composition
of
the
waste.
The
quantity
of
waste
generated
from
these
activities
is
very
small
and
highly
characterized.
The
initial
isotopic
composition
of
the
fuel,
neutron
flux,
irradiation
time,
and
cooldown
time
are
measured
and
documented.
The
isotopic
composition
of
the
irradiated
fuel
is
calculated
based
on
the
data
mentioned
above,
or
the
isotopic
composition
of
the
irradiated
fuel
is
confirmed
by
radiochemical
analysis.
The
isotopic
composition
of
the
waste
shall
be
determined
by
either
referencing
the
irradiated
fuel
analysis
or
by
direct
measurement
of
the
waste
by
segmented
gamma
scan.

The
isotopic
composition
of
the
waste
streams
generated
at
RFETS
is
well
characterized
through
destructive
measures
performed
on
product
material
during
processing
and
this
acceptable
knowledge
(
AK)
is
documented
in
an
auditable
record.
Therefore,
the
isotopic
composition
of
a
particular
waste
stream
need
not
be
determined
by
direct
methods
of
analysis
or
measurement
unless
process
information
is
not
available.

All
nondestructive
assay
(
NDA)
equipment
used
for
assaying
TRU
waste
is
equipped
with
the
ability
to
determine
the
isotopic
composition
of
wastes
for
which
the
counters
are
qualified
to
assay.
If
isotopic
information
is
measured,
then
this
information
supercedes
the
isotopic
compositions
determined
by
AK
as
described
above.

The
plutonium
used
at
the
RFETS
is
weapons

(
WG)
plutonium.
The
isotopic
distribution
has
been
well
characterized
and
was
routinely

at
the
RFETS
using
one
of
the

is
estimated
by
either
a

Verification
(
continued)

Calculation
of
the
FGE
and
Compliance
Evaluation
The
FGE
of
each
payload
package
is
calculated
from
the
isotopic
composition
and
quantity
of
radionuclides
to
ensure
that
the
FGE
plus
two
times
the
measurement
error
is
less
than
or
equal
to
the
applicable
limit
for
each
payload
package.
The
Pu­
239
FGE
of
each
payload
package
is
recorded
in
the
PCTCD
and
OPCTCD,
as
applicable.

The
total
Pu­
239
FGE
for
a
TRUPACT­
II
payload
is
calculated
and
recorded
in
the
PATCD.
The
total
Pu­
239
FGE
error
is
the
square
root
of
the
sum
of
the
squares
of
twice
the
individual
Pu­
239
FGE
errors.
This
error
is
added
to
the
calculated
TRUPACT­
II
payload
FGE
to
determine
compliance
with
the
applicable
payload
FGE
limit.

Associated
WEMS
software
specifications
define
the
methods
and
controls
that
WEMS
uses
to
calculate
the
FGE
for
each
payload
package.
The
e­
TRAMPAC
software
system
in
the
WWIS
also
calculates
FGE
for
each
payload
package
and
verifies
compliance
with
the
FGE
limits
prior
to
WWIS
approval.
Furthermore,
the
e­
TRAMPAC
system
provides
the
methods
and
controls
used
for
calculation
of
FGE
for
assembled
TRUPACT­
II
payloads.
These
software
specifications/
systems
provide
the
methodology
used
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
FGE
limits
and
verify
that
the
FGE
limits
are
not
exceeded.

Verification
that
correct
data
is
input
and
used
by
WEMS
for
calculation
of
FGE
is
performed
during
the
"

Chemical
Properties
Requirements
The
chemical
properties
of
waste
are
controlled
and
restricted
so
that
all
payload
packages
are
safe
for
handling
and
transport.
Chemical
constituents
in
a
payload
shall
not
be
in
a
form
that
could
be
reactive
during
transport.

6.4.1
Pyrophoric
Materials
A
pyrophoric
(
solid)
is
defined
as:

Any
solid
material,
other
than
one
classed
as
an
explosive,
which
under
normal
conditions
is
likely
to
cause
fires
through
friction,
retained
heat
from
manufacturing
or
processing,
or
which
can
be
ignited
readily
and
when
ignited
burns
so
vigorously
and
persistently
as
to
create
a
serious
transportation,
handling,
or
disposal
hazard.
Included
are
spontaneously
combustible
and
water
reactive
materials.

Examples
of
pyrophoric
radionuclides
are
metallic
plutonium
and
americium.
Examples
of
nonradioactive
pyrophorics
are
organic
peroxides,
sodium
metal,
and
chlorates.

All
waste
generating
sites
administratively
control
the
procurement,
distribution,
use,
and
disposal
of
nonradioactive
pyrophoric
materials.
In
general,
pyrophoric
materials
are
not
permitted
in
TRU
process
areas.
The
quantity
of
pyrophoric
materials
that
does
enter
any
process
is
strictly
limited
and
controlled
by
site
safety
considerations.

6.4.1.1
Requirements
for
Control
of
Pyrophoric
Materials
Pyrophoric
radioactive
materials
shall
be
present
only
in
small
residual
amounts
(
less
than
1%
by
weight)
in
payload
packages.
Radioactive
pyrophorics
in
concentrations
greater
than
1%
by
weight
and
all
nonradioactive
pyrophorics
are
reacted
(
or
oxidized)
and/
or
rendered
nonreactive
prior
to
placement
in
the
payload
package.

6.4.2
Explosives,
Corrosives,
and
Compressed
Gases
An
explosive
is
defined
as:

Any
chemical
compound,
mixture,
or
device,
the
primary
or
common
purpose
of
which
is
to
function
by
explosion
(
i.
e.,
with
substantial
instantaneous
release
of
gas
and
heat).

Examples
of
explosives
are
ammunition,
dynamite,
black
powder,
detonators,
nitroglycerin,
urea
nitrate,
and
picric
acid.

Corrosives
are
defined
as:

Aqueous
materials
(
i.
e.,
water
based
liquids),
which
have
a
pH
less
than
or
equal
to
2,
or
greater
than
or
equal
to
12.5.

The
physical
form
of
the
waste
and
waste
generating
procedures
at
the
sites
ensure
that
the
waste
is
in
a
nonreactive
form.
All
waste
generating
sites
control
the
procurement,
distribution,
use,
and
disposal
of
explosives.
Most
sites
have
lists
of
restricted
materials
that
include
explosives.
Typically,
the
TRU
waste
generating
and
storage
sites
do
not
allow
explosives
in
the
same
facility
as
TRU
waste.
In
addition,
sampling
programs
for
pH
of
inorganic
sludges
have
shown
that
the
sludges
consistently
meet
the
limitation
on
corrosives.

Methods
of
Compliance
and
Verification
(
continued)

Only
waste
containers
with
approved
TRUCON
codes
are
shipped
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.
In
certain
cases
sampling/
analysis
(
i.
e.,
a
sampling
program)
may
be
used
to
demonstrate
compliance
to
the
allowable
chemical
lists
for
an
approved
TRUCON
code.
Typically,
these
situations
involve
demonstrating
that
a
certain
chemical
(
water
for
instance)
exists
as
a
trace
constituent
and
does
not
exceed
one
weight
percent
in
the
waste
matrix.
In
these
circumstances,
a
representative
sampling
program
of
a
waste
stream
(
or
waste
stream
lot)
is
conducted
in
accordance
with
a
sampling
and
analysis
plan.
The
results
from
the
sampling
program
are
statistically
evaluated
to
determine
the
upper
95%
confidence
limit
(
UCL95)
for
the
sample
mean.
The
UCL95
is
then
compared
to
the
applicable
chemical
composition
limit
for
a
given
constituent.
If
the
UCL95
is
less
than
the
applicable
limit,
then,
the
evaluated
chemical
constituent
is
considered
to
be
below
the
limit
in
the
waste
matrix
for
the
waste
stream/
waste
stream
lot.
If
the
UCL95
is
greater
than
the
limit,
then,
the
concentration
of
the
evaluated
chemical
constituent
is
considered
to
be
potentially
above
the
limit
for
the
waste
stream/
waste
stream
lot.

Content
codes
approved
in
the
TRUCON
document
(
DOE/
WIPP
89­
004)
comply
with
the
chemical
composition
requirements.
Any
proposed
change
in
process
technology
at
RFETS
for
a
given

code
shall
be
evaluated
for
compliance
with
the
chemical

shall
be
evaluated
and
approved
by
the

Chemical
Compatibility
The
allowable
chemical/
materials
listed
in
Table
6­
2
restrict
the
chemical
composition
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
payload.
The
basis
for
evaluating
chemical
compatibility
is
contained
in
the
EPA
document
"
A
Method
for
Determining
the
Compatibility
of
Hazardous
Wastes"
(
EPA­
600/
2­
80­
076).
This
method
provides
a
systematic
means
of
analyzing
the
chemical
compatibility
for
specific
combinations
of
chemical
compounds
and
materials.
Any
incompatibilities
between
the
payload
and
the
packaging
shall
be
evaluated
separately
if
not
covered
by
the
EPA
method.
As
described
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
SAR,
Appendix
2.10.12,
the
EPA
method
classifies
individual
chemical
compounds
into
chemical
groups
and
identifies
the
potential
adverse
reactions
resulting
from
incompatible
combinations
of
the
groups.

6.4.4.1
Requirements
Chemical
compatibility
shall
be
ensured
for
the
following
four
conditions:

 
Chemical
compatibility
of
the
waste
form
within
each
individual
payload
package.

 
Chemical
compatibility
between
contents
of
payload
packages
during
hypothetical
accident
conditions.

 
Chemical
compatibility
of
the
waste
forms
with
the
TRUPACT­
II
Inner
Containment
Vessel
(

Chemical
compatibility
of
the

6.4.4.2
Methods
of
Compliance

has
been

using
the
chemicals
listed
in
Table
6­

The
restrictions
imposed
on
the
chemical
constituents
of
the

ensure
compliance
with
the

requirements.
Only
RFETS
content
codes
approved
in
the

are
shipped.
The

Requirements
Gas
generation,
concentrations,
and
pressures
during
transport
of
CH­
TRU
wastes
in
a
TRUPACT­
II
payload
are
restricted
as
follows:

 
For
any
package
containing
water
and/
or
organic
substances
that
could
radiolytically
generate
combustible
gases,
determination
must
be
made
by
tests
and
measurements
or
by
analysis
of
a
representative
package
such
that
the
following
criterion
is
met
over
a
period
of
time
that
is
twice
the
expected
shipment
time:
The
hydrogen
generated
must
be
limited
to
a
molar
quantity
that
would
be
no
more
than
5
percent
by
volume
of
the
innermost
layer
of
confinement
(
or
equivalent
limits
for
other
inflammable
gases)
if
present
at
standard
temperature
and
pressure
(
STP)
(
i.
e.,
no
more
than
0.063
gram­
moles/
cubic
foot
at
14.7
pounds
per
square
inch
absolute
and
32oF).

 
The
gases
generated
in
the
payload
and
released
into
the
ICV
cavity
shall
be
controlled
to
maintain
the
pressure
within
the
TRUPACT­
II
ICV
cavity
below
the
acceptable
design
pressure
of
50
pounds
per
square
inch
gauge
(
psig).

The
analysis
presented
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
SAR,
Section
3.4.4.3,
shows
that
all
payloads
authorized
for
transport
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
will
comply
with
the
design
pressure
limit
for
both
twice
the
expected
shipping
period
and
a
one­

Specific
requirements
associated
with
the
restrictions
on
gas
generation
during
transport
of
a
TRUPACT­
II

are
described
in
detail
below.

Gas
generation
potential
of
the
waste
material
type
(
quantified
by
the

provides
a
basis
to
determine
the
gas
generation
potential
of
the
contents
and
the
resistance
to

This
enables
evaluation
of

Waste
Material
Type
(
G
Value)

The
four
waste
types
can
be
further
subdivided
into
waste
material
types.
The
waste
material
types
define
the
gas
generation
potential
of
the
waste,
and
a
listing
of
the
chemicals/
materials
allowed
in
each
waste
material
type
is

in
Table

An
effective
bounding
G
value
quantifying
the
gas
generation
potential
of
each
waste
material
type
is
assigned
based
on
the
chemicals
allowed.
The
determination
of
bounding
G
values
for
each
waste
material
type
is
shown
in
the
TRAMPAC,
Appendices
5.1
and
5.2.
Table

presents
the
waste
material
types
and
their
respective
bounding
G
values,
along
with
the
shipping

notation
denoting
the
bounding
G
value.

Total
Resistance
The
determination
of
the
total
resistance
to
gas
release
of
a
payload
package
requires
a
knowledge
of
the
type
and
maximum
number
of
layers
of
confinement
used
to
package
the
waste.
CH­
TRU
materials
are
typically
placed
in
a
payload
package
within
multiple
layers
of
plastic
and/
or
metal
cans
that
act
as
layers
of
confinement
for
radionuclides
during
waste
handling
operations.
The
payload
safety
analysis
considers
the
layers
of
confinement
as
barriers
that
impede,
but
do
not
preclude,
the
release
of
gases
from
inside
the
layers
of
confinement
(
e.
g.,
plastic
bags
or
metal
cans)
to
the
outside
of
the
payload
package.
Allowable
closure
methods
for
confinement
layers
are
specified
in
the
TRAMPAC,
Appendix
5.3.
The
plastic
layers
of
confinement
in
payload
packages
are
of
three
types
 
liner
bags,
inner
bags,
and
filtered
bags.
As
described
in
the
TRAMPAC,
Appendices
2.5
and
2.6,
the
release
rates
for
these
three
types
of
bags
have
been
quantified
or
presented
as
specifications.
Any
other
type
of

layer
(
other
than
the
three
types
of
plastic
bags
or
metal
cans
with
filters)
used
at

Payload
Assembly
Shipping
Category
Notation
A
payload
assembly
may
be
made
up
of
payload
packages
with
the
same,
equivalent,
or
different
(
nonequivalent)
shipping
categories.

If
individual
payload
packages
each
assigned
the
same
shipping
category
are
assembled
into
a
single
payload,
each
payload
package
is
limited
to
the
same
decay
heat
limit
or
gas
generation
rate
limit.

For
payload
shipping
categories
to
be
considered
equivalent,
the
payload
packages
must
be
described
by
the
same
waste
type,
but
may
be
described
by
different
waste
material
types
and/
or
have
different
gas
release
resistance
factors,
provided
that
the
decay
heat
or
the
hydrogen
gas
generation
rate
for
each
payload
package
is
bound
by
the
lowest
decay
heat
limit
or
hydrogen
gas
generation
rate
limit
of
all
payload
packages
in
the
assembly.
These
payload
packages
are
then
considered
to
have
shipping
categories
equivalent
to
the
shipping
category
of
the
package
with
the
lowest
decay
heat
limit
or
hydrogen
gas
generation
rate
limit
in
the
assembly.
If
individual
payload
packages
each
assigned
to
an
equivalent
shipping
category
are
assembled
into
a
payload,
each
payload
package
is
limited
to
the
decay
heat
limit
or
gas
generation
rate
limit
of
the
"
governing"
shipping
category.
An
assembly
may
also
be
made
up
of
payload
packages
with
different
shipping
categories
as
described
in
Section
6.5.2.4.

Compliance
With
Specific
Requirements
for
Total
Resistance
The
following
paragraphs
outline
the
methods
of
compliance
and
verification
for
confinement
layers
and
rigid
liners.

Confinement
Layers
RTR,
visual
examination,
administrative
and
procedural
controls,
or
a
combination
of
these
methods
are
used
to
demonstrate
that
the
method
of
closure
for
each
layer
of
confinement
is
in
accordance
with
the
TRAMPAC,
Appendix
5.3.
Any
other
type
of
confinement
layers
used
at
RFETS
shall
be
shown,
by
testing
or
analysis,
to
be
equivalent
to
one
of
the
approved
confinement
layers
described
in
the
TRAMPAC,
Appendix
5.3.
If
necessary,
RFETS
shall
establish
"
equivalency"
by
demonstration
of
a
hydrogen
release
rate
greater
than
or
equal
to
that
of
the
approved
confinement
layers.
The
waste
generation
procedures
specify
the
maximum
number
of
confinement
layers
for
each
content
code.
For
previously
packaged
waste,
the
maximum
number
of
layers
is
determined
from
the
waste
management
practices
in
use
at
the
time
the
waste
was
packaged
and
available
records
and
database
information.
This
is
confirmed
as
part
of
a
sampling
program.

These

Compliance

for

(

For
previously
packaged
waste
(
i.
e.,
TRU
waste
generated
prior
to
WGI
implementation),
the
maximum
number
of
layers
of
confinement
(
bags)
is
known
from
the
waste
management
techniques
in
use
at
the
time
the
waste
is
packaged.
For
instance,
standard
operating
practice
has
always
involved
double
bagging
(
i.
e.,
two
layers
of
confinement)
any
waste
items
to
be
removed
from
a
glove
box.
If
a
payload
waste
package
was
not
attached
to
the
glovebox
proper,
then
these
doublebagged
waste
items
would
be
place
into
a
drum
that
could
have
contained
one
or
two
drum
liner
bags,
depending
on
the
waste
management
practices
in
use
at
the
time
the
waste
was
generated.
Therefore,
based
on
this
historical
practice,
the
maximum
number
of
layers
of
confinement
of
this
waste
material
would
be
four
(
up
to
two
possible
waste
item
layers
and
up
to
two
drum
liner
bags).

Compliance
with
the
restrictions
on
inner
confinement
layers
is
verified
by
periodic
visual
examination
of
a
random
sample
of
previously
packaged
waste

Compliance
With

Concentration
Limits
TRU
wastes
to
be
transported
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
are
restricted
so
that
no
flammable
mixtures
can
occur
in
any
layer
of
confinement
during
shipment.
While
the
predominant
flammable
gas
of
concern
is
hydrogen,
the
presence
of
methane
and
flammable
VOCs
is
also
limited
along
with
hydrogen
to
ensure
the
absence
of
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
mixtures
in
TRU
waste
payloads.

Payload
packages
to
be
transported
in
the
TRUPACT­
II
can
be
classified
into
one
of
two
categories
based
on
compliance
with
the
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
limits:

 
Analytical
Category
­
Under
the
analytical
category,
a
conservative
analysis
is
used
to
impose
decay
heat
limits
on
individual
payload
packages
to
ensure
that
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
limits
are
met.
Specifically,
flammable
VOCs
are
restricted
to
less
than
or
equal
to
500
parts
per
million
(
ppm)
in
the
payload
package
headspace
(
to
ensure
that
their
contribution
to
flammability
is
negligible),
and
a
bounding
G
value
is
used
to
conservatively
estimate
the
potential
for
flammable
gas
generation
due
to
radiolysis.
This
G
value
accounts
for
both
hydrogen
and
methane
gas
generation
potential
based
on
the
waste
type.
The
5%
limit
on
hydrogen
concentration
is
then
met
by
imposing
a
decay
heat
limit
that
restricts
the
amount
of
radioactive
material
that
can
be
present
in
the
payload
package.

are
classified
as
test
category.
Under
the

category,
one
of
two
options
is
used
for
determining
compliance
with
flammable
(

limits:
(
1)
Measurement
of

and
(

payload
packages.

VOC
absorbing
or

material
(
such
as
granular
activated
carbon
to
adsorb
carbon
tetrachloride)
may
be
placed
in
a
payload

provided
that
RFETS
personnel
can
verify
or
demonstrate
the
following
through
testing,
analysis,
or
AK:

1.
The
absorbent/
adsorbent
remains
effective
in
retaining
VOCs
from
the
time
of
waste
packaging
through
the
end
of
the
maximum
shipping
period
in
the
TRUPACT­
II,
and
2.
A
flammable
mixture
of
gases
does
not
exist
in
the
innermost
layer
of
confinement,
and
3.
The
total
concentration
of
potentially
flammable
VOCs
does
not
exceed
500
ppm
in
the
headspace
of
a
payload
package.

Only
payload
packages
that
meet
the
flammable
(

limits
based
on
these
determinations
are
eligible
for
shipment
in

of
the
TRAMPAC
provides
expanded
logic
and
detailed
descriptions
of
each
step
of
this
compliance.
The
compliance
evaluation
by
analysis
requires
data
associated
with
the
payload
package,
which
is
gathered
from
one
or
more
of
the
methods
of

listed
in
Section
6.1.4
of
this

NOTE:
The
e­
TRAMPAC
system
in
the
WWIS
will
verify
compliance
with
flammable
(
gas/

concentration
limits.
RFETS
will
ship
only

that
comply
with
the
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
limits
as
ensured
by
the
e­
TRAMPAC
system
in

The
evaluation
of
compliance
with
flammable
(
gas/
VOC)
concentration
limits
under
either
the
analytical
category
or
the
test
category
requires
the
determination
of
the
flammable
VOC
concentration.
A
list
of
flammable
VOCs
is
provided
in
Table
6­
10.

As
applicable,
RFETS
determines
the
flammable
VOC
concentration
through
AK,
which
may
include
results
from
previous
headspace
gas
sampling
data.
If
a

cannot
be
established
to
be
 
500
ppm
based
on
the
payload

then
the
flammable

concentration
of
the

must
be
measured.

Per

requirements
of
the

6.5.2.4
Mixing
of
Shipping
Categories
in
a
Payload
Assembly
In
accordance
with
Appendix
6.3
of
the
TRAMPAC,
an
assembly
may
be
made
up
of
payload
packages
with
different
shipping
categories
by
ensuring
that
each
payload
package
does
not
contain
a
flammable
mixture
of
gases.
The
flammability
index
(
FI)
is
assessed
for
each
payload
package,
which
accounts
for
the
properties
of
each
of
the
other
packages
in
the
assembly.
Section
6.6.2.5
describes
the
procedure
for
qualifying
an
assembly
of
payload
packages
with
different
shipping
categories.
Unlimited
mixing
of
shipping
categories
within
a
single
payload
package
type
is
allowed
for
direct
loaded
payload
configurations,
with
the
FIs
calculated
based
on
each
payload
package
in
the
assembly.

For
payload
assemblies
comprised
of
overpacked
payload
configurations,
mixing
of
shipping
categories
is
allowed
provided
that
all
payload
packages
being
overpacked
meet
the
lowest
decay
heat
limit
or
lowest
hydrogen
gas
generation
rate
limit
("
governing
limit")
of
all
the
payload
packages
in
the
payload
assembly.

6.5.3.1
Requirements
This
requirement
applies
only
to
unvented
payload
packages.
Payload
packages
that
have
been
stored
in
an
unvented
condition
(
i.
e.,
no
filter
and/
or
unpunctured
rigid
liner)
SHALL
be
aspirated
for
the
specific
length
of
time
to
ensure
equilibration
of
any
gases
that
may
have
accumulated
in
the
closed
payload
package.
For
payload
packages
with
waste
types
in
packaging
configurations
that
do
NOT
generate
any
flammable
gas,
aspiration
is
NOT
required
(

presents
an
overview
of
the
control
procedures
that
shall
be
used
to
assemble
a
payload
qualified
for
transport
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.
The
parameters
described
in
previous
sections
shall
be
evaluated
for
selection
of
a
payload.
The
flowchart
of
transport
requirements
for
a
payload
package
is
shown
in
Figure
6­
2.
The
container
identification
(
ID)
number
shall
uniquely
identify
the
payload
package.
Each
payload
package
shall
have
an
assigned
shipping
category
and
content
code.
Wherever
applicable,
the
measured
parameters
(
weight,
fissile
material,
and
the
decay
heat)
shall
be
checked
against
the
limits
after
addition
of
the
measurement
error,
as
detailed
in
previous
sections.
If
any
of
the
limits
are
not
met
by
the
package,
it
shall
be
rejected
from
transport
(
subject
to
mitigation
or

6.6.2.1
Procedure
for
Certification
of
Individual
Payload
Packages
(
Analytical
Category)

RFETS
qualifies
an
individual
payload
package
for
transport
in
a
TRUPACT­
II
under
the
analytical
category
by
verifying
that
the
payload
package
meets
the
parameter
requirements/
limits
listed
in
Appendix
7,
PCTCD,
Analytical
Category
and,
if
applicable,
the
OPCTCD
in
Appendix
9.
The
PCTCD
is
completed
for
each
payload
package
to
be
directly
loaded
into
the
ICV.
If
overpack
payload
configurations
are
used,
the
PCTCD
is
completed
for
each
payload
package
to
be
overpacked,
and
the
OPCTCD
is
completed
for
the
payload
package
overpacking
the
other
payload
package(
s).
For
example,
if
four
55­
gallon
drums
are
overpacked
in
one
SWB,
the
PCTCD
is
completed
separately
for
each
55­
gallon
drum,
and
the
OPCTCD
is
completed
once
for
the
SWB.
However,
pipe
overpack
configurations
do
not
require
the
completion
of
the
OPCTCD.
Appendices
7
and
9
are
reproductions
of
the
forms
as
shown
in
the
TRAMPAC
and
are
reformatted
in
RFETS
procedures.
All
parameters
noted
on
the
original
TRAMPAC
form
are
included
in
the
modified

Data
on
the
parameters
for
specific
payloads
are
obtained
by
the
methods
outlined
in
this
document
and
are
consistent
with
the
information
for
each
parameter
provided
in
the
TRUCON.

These
records
on
the
properties
of
the

are
referred
to
as
the

The
container
ID
number
is
assigned
to
the

prior
to
waste
packaging.
The
ID
number
appears
on
a
label
affixed
to
the
payload

and
can
be
read
for
visual
verification
or
for
electronic

limit
per
payload
package
for
the
applicable
payload
shipping
category
shall
be
recorded
from
the
determination
made

decay
heat
plus
the
measurement
error
(
one
standard

may
be
obtained
from
its

are
determined
from
the
isotopic
composition
and
quantity
of
radionuclides,
as
described
in
Section
6.5.2.2
of

equivalent)
shipping
category.
For
these
configurations,
compliance
with
flammable

is
determined
by
compliance
with

For
payload
assemblies
where
credit
is
taken
for
dunnage
or
different
shipping
categories,
the
flammability
index,
based
on
the
assembled

as
described
in
Appendix
6.3
of

of
the
overpacked
configuration.
The
measured

that
will
be
overpacked,
the
measured
fissile

Error
(
Section
6.2.3):
The
measured
weight
and
measurement
error
(
one
standard
deviation)
for
each
overpacked
payload
package
or
the
entire
overpack
configuration
shall
be
recorded.
The
measured
weight
and
measurement
error
may
be
obtained
from
PCTCD(
s)
or
OPCTCD
for
each
overpacked
payload
package.
The
measured
weight
of
the
individual
overpacked
payload
packages
is
not
required
if
the
entire
overpack
configuration
will
be
weighed.
If
the
weight
of
each
individual
overpacked
payload
package
is
recorded,
enter
the
weight
and
measurement
error
(
one
standard
deviation)
of
the
empty
overpack
payload
package
on
the
last
row.

Calculate
the
total
weight
as
the
sum
of
each
of
the
individual
weights
(
including
the
weight
of
the
empty
overpack
container),
and
record
this
value
in
the
appropriate
box.
Calculate
the
root­
mean
square
(
RMS)
error
for
the
overpack
configuration
as
the
square
root
of
the
sum
of
the
squares
of
the
individually
listed
errors,
and
record
this
value
in
the
appropriate
box.
If
the
entire
overpack
configuration
is
weighed,
record
the
total
weight
of
the
overpack
configuration
and
the
measurement
error
(
one
standard
deviation)
in
the
appropriate
boxes
(
in
this
case,
the
measurement
error
is
the
same
as
the
RMS
error).

The
total
weight
plus
the
total
RMS
error
of
the
entire
overpack
configuration
shall
be
recorded
in
the
space
provided
and

of
the
overpack
configuration
(
i.
e.,
4,000
lbs.
per
SWB
or
6,700

the
limit
for
maximum
allowable
weight
applies

of
a
TRUPACT­

Payload
of
Different
Shipping
Categories
An
assembly
of
payload
packages
with
different
shipping
categories
may
be
approved
by
ensuring
that
each
payload
package
does
not
contain
a
flammable
mixture
of
gases,
while
accounting
for
the
properties
of
each
of
the
other
payload
packages
in
the
assembly,
which
may
include
dunnage
packages.
Each
payload
package
is
assessed
through
the
calculation
of
the
Flammability
Index
(
FI)
for
the
package,
which
accounts
for
the
properties
of
each
package
in
the
mixed

assembly.
FI
is
only
applicable
to
mixed
payload
assemblies.

Unlimited
mixing
of

categories
is
allowed
for

For
payload
assemblies
comprised
of
overpacked

is
allowed
provided
that
all
payload

Procedure
PRO­

provides
instructions
for
verifying
that
the

and

The

compliance
with
the

restrictions
in

with
PRO­
T43­

Operations.

The
logic
for
determining
the
FI
for
each
payload
package
by
the
e­
TRAMPAC
is
consistent
with
that
described
in
Appendix
6.3
of
the
TRAMPAC.
This
logic
is
summarized
as
follows:

 
For
each
payload
package,
the
FI
is
calculated
as
the
ratio
of
the
actual
flammable
gas
generation
rate
to
the
allowable
flammable
gas
generation
rate
limit
multiplied
by
50,000.
The
FI
for
each
payload
package
must
be
less
than
or
equal
to
50,000
for
the
payload
to
be
eligible
for
shipment.

 
Allowable
Flammable
Gas
Generation
Rate.
Per
Section
6.5.2,
the
determination
of
allowable
flammable
gas
generation
rates
takes
into
account
the
concentrations
of
flammable
VOCs
within
the
innermost
layer
of
confinement,
if
present,
and
the
void
volume
of
any
dunnage
packages.
The
maximum
concentration
of
flammable
gas
and
flammable
VOCs
in
the
innermost
layer
is
limited
to
the
MLEL.
The
allowable
flammable
gas
concentration
(
AFGC)
is
calculated
as
the
difference
between
the
MLEL
and
the
sum
of
the
flammable
VOC
concentrations.
An
allowable
flammable
gas
generation
rate
for
each
payload
package
is
calculated
to
yield
a
maximum
flammable
gas
concentration
equivalent
to
the
AFGC.

 
For
analytical
category
payload
packages
or
test
category
payload
packages
that
have
headspace
concentrations
of
flammable
VOCs
less
than
or
equal
to
500
ppm,
the
AFGC
is
equal
to
the
MLEL
of
0.05
mole
fraction
(
i.
e.,
5
volume
percent).

Visual
Examination
Visual
examination
of
100%
of
the
payload
package
exterior
is
conducted
to
determine
if
the
payload
package
meets
the
criteria
of
Section
5.2.1.
RFETS
incorporates
the
questions
and
criteria
contained
in
the
following
checklist
into
PRO­
1045­
WI­
001,
Solid
Radioactive
Waste
Inspection.
This
payload
package
inspection
is
performed
and
documented
as
a
part
of
the
TRUPACT­
II
loading
process.
Any
YES
answer
on
the
inspection
checklist
will
result
in
the
inspector
discontinuing
the
inspection,
marking
the
payload
package
as
unacceptable
for
shipment,
and
removal
of
the
payload
package
from
the
shippable
inventory.
Before
the
rejected
package
can
be
shipped,
it
must
undergo
appropriate
corrective
actions
(
e.
g.,
evaluation,
repackaging,
overpacking,
etc.),
as
applicable.
All
packages
must
have
an
acceptable
and
complete
inspection
checklist
documenting
that
it
meets
the
DOT
7A
criteria.

PAYLOAD
PACKAGE
INTEGRITY
CHECKLIST
PACKAGE
EXAMINATION
DISCUSSION
OF
CRITERIA
COMPLIANCE
1.
Is
the
payload
package
obviously
degraded?
Obviously
degraded
means
clearly
visible
and
potentially
significant
defects
in
the
payload
package
or
payload
package
surface.
YES
NO
2.
Is
there
evidence
that
the
payload
package
is,
or
has
been,
pressurized?
Pressurization
can
be
indicated
by
a
fairly
uniform
expansion
of
the
sidewalls,
bottom
or
top.
Past
pressurization
can
be
indicated
by
a
notable
outward
deflection
of
the
bottom
or
top.
Verify
that
the
drum
is
not
warped.
YES
NO
3.
Is
there
any
potentially
significant
rust
or
corrosion
such
that
wall
thinning,
pin
holes,
or
breaches
are
likely
or
the
load
bearing
capacity
is
suspect?
Rust
shall
be
assessed
in
terms
of
its
type,
extent,
and
location.
Pitting,
pocking,
flaking,
or
dark
coloration
characterizes
potentially
significant
rust
or
corrosion.
This
includes
the
extent
of
the
payload
package
surface
area
covered,
thickness,
and,
if
it
occurs
in
large
flakes
or
builtup
(
caked)
areas.
Rusted
payload
packages
may
not
be
accepted
if:
 
Rust
is
present
in
caked
layers
or
deposits
 
Rust
is
present
in
the
form
of
deep
metal
flaking,
or
built­
up
areas
of
corrosion
products.

In
addition,
the
location
of
rust
should
be
noted;
for
example
on
a
drum:
top
lid;
filter
region;
locking
chime;
top
one­
third,
above
the
second
rolling
hoop;
middle
onethird
between
the
first
and
second
rolling
hoops;
bottom
one­
third,
below
the
second
rolling
hoop;
and
on
the
bottom.

Payload
packages
may
still
be
considered
acceptable
if
the
signs
of
rust
show
up
as:
 
Some
discoloration
on
the
payload
package
 
If
rubbed
would
produce
fine
grit
or
dust
or
minor
flaking
(
such
that
wall
thinning
does
not
occur).

Are
any
of
the
following
apparent?
 
wall
thinning
 
pin
holes
 
breaches
Wall
thinning,
pin
holes,
and
breaches
can
be
a
result
of
rust/
corrosion
(

for
#
3).
YES
NO
5.
Are
there
any
split
seams,
tears,
obvious
holes,
punctures
(
of
any
size),
creases,
broken
welds,
or
cracks?
Payload
packages
with
obvious
leaks,
holes
or
openings,
cracks,
deep
crevices,
creases,
tears,
broken
welds,
sharp
edges
or
pits,
are
either
breached
or
on
the
verge
of
being
breached.
Verify
that
there
is
no
warpage
that
could
cause
the
package
to
be
unstable
or
prevent
it
from
fitting
properly
in
the
TRUPACT­
II.
YES
NO
6.
Is
the
load­
bearing
capacity
suspect?
The
load­
bearing
capacity
could
be
reduced
for
excessive
rust
(
see
discussion
for
#
3),
wall
thinning
(
see
discussion
for
#
4),
breaches,
cracks,
creases,
broken
welds,
etc.
(
see
discussion
for
#
5).
YES
NO
7.
Is
the
payload
package
improperly
closed?
Inspect
the
fastener
and
fastener
ring
(
chime)
if
applicable
for
damage
or
excessive
corrosion.
Check
the
alignment
of
the
fastener
to
ensure
that
it
is
in
firm
contact
around
the
entire
lid
and
the
payload
package
will
not
open
during
transportation.
YES
NO
8.
Are
there
any
dents,
scrapes,
or
scratches
that
make
the
payload
package's
structural
integrity
questionable
or
prevent
the
top
and
bottom
surfaces
from
being
parallel?
Deep
gouges,
scratches,
or
abrasions
over
wide
areas
are
not
acceptable.
If
top
and
bottom
surfaces
are
not
parallel,
this
would
indicate
that
the
package
is
warped.
Dents
should
be
less
than
¼
inch
deep
by
3
inches
long
and
between
½
inch
to
6
inches
wide.
All
other
dents
must
be
examined
to
determine
impact
of
structural
integrity.

Note:
Based
on
an
engineering
evaluation
performed
at
RFETS
it
has
been
determined
that
larger
dents
on
55­
gallon
drums
are
acceptable,
see
Section
A3.1.
YES
NO
9.
Is
there
discoloration
which
would
indicate
leakage
or
other
evidence
of
leakage
of
material
from
the
payload
package?
Examine
the
payload
package
regions
near
vents,
top
lid
fittings,
bottom
fittings,
welds,
seams
and
intersections
of
one
or
more
metal
sheets
or
plates.
Payload
packages
must
be
rejected
if
evidence
of
leakage
is
present.
YES
NO
10.
Is
the
payload
package
bulged?
For
the
purposes
of
this
examination,
bulging
is
indicated
by:
 
A
fairly
uniform
expansion
of
the
sidewalls,
bottom,
or
top
(
e.
g.,
in
the
case
of
a
drum,
either
the
top
or
bottom
surface
protrudes
beyond
the
planar
surface
of
the
top

or
 
Expansion
of

The
Waste

requires
radiological
characterization
data
to:

 
track
the
WIPP
radionuclide
inventory,
by
isotopic
activity
and
mass,
for
those
radionuclides
listed
in
Section
3.3.1
of
the
WIPP­
WAC
(
i.
e.,
241Am,
238Pu,
239Pu,
240Pu,
242Pu,
233U,
234U,
238U,
90Sr,
and
137Cs),

 
demonstrate
that
each
payload
package
disposed
of
at
the
WIPP
contains
TRU
waste
as
specified
in
Section
3.3.3
of
the
WIPP­
WAC
(
i.
e.,
waste
contains
greater
than
100
nCi/
g
of
TRU
radionuclides),
and
 
verify
that
applicable
transportation
and
facility
limits
on
individual
payload
packages
and
assemblies
for
FGE,
PE­
Ci,
and
decay
heat
are
not
exceeded,
as
specified
in
Sections
3.3.2,
3.3.4
and
3.3.6
of
the
WIPP­
WAC.

The
radioassay
process
quantifies
at
least
one
of
the
more
prevalent
radionuclides
known
to
be
present
in
the
waste.
The
remaining
listed
radionuclides
present
in
the
waste
in
significant
quantities
are
identified
by
direct
measurement
of
isotopic
ratios
as
discussed
in
Section
A4.2.
The
isotopic
ratios
are
then
used
to
quantify
radionuclides
based
on
the
assay
value.

Introduction
(
continued)

The
requisite
data
on
isotopic
ratios
and
quantities
are
derived
from
AK
(
see
Section
A4.2),
radioassay
or
both
using
CBFO
approved
NDA
techniques,
instruments
and
procedures.
RFETS
has
technically
justified
that
the
AK
and/
or
radioassay
techniques,
instruments
and
procedures
used:

 
are
appropriate
for
the
specific
waste
stream
and
waste
content
code
descriptions
being
assayed,
and
 
result
in
unbiased
values
for
the
cumulative
activity
and
mass
of
the
WIPP
radionuclide
inventory.

This
justification
is
contained
in
the
instrument­
specific
qualification
plans
listed
in
Table

RFETS
NDA
Instrument
Qualification
NDA
equipment

RFETS
NDA
Operating
and
Data
Management
Procedures,
lists
the
operating
and
data
management
procedures
for
RFETS
NDA
systems.

Existing
radioassay
data
collected
prior
to
the
implementation
of
a
quality
assurance
program
pursuant
to
40
CFR
§
194.22(
a)(
1)
may
only
be
qualified
in
accordance
with
an
alternate
methodology
that
is
approved
by
CBFO
and
employs
one
or
more
of
the
following
methods:

 
peer
review
in
accordance
with
NRC
NUREG­
1297,
Peer
Review
for
High­
Level
Nuclear
Waste
Repositories,

 
corroborating
data,

 
confirmatory
testing
(
i.
e.,
testing
made
on
a
representative
sub­
population
of
payload
packages
within
a
waste
stream),
or
 
demonstrating
the
equivalence
of
an
alternate
QA
program
as
described
in
the
QAPD,
Section
5.4.

Proposals
for
alternative
approaches
to
identification
and
quantification
of
radioisotopes
(
e.
g.,
qualification
of
isotopic
ratio
AK
on
a
waste
stream
basis)
must
be
submitted
to
CBFO
for
review
and
approval.
CBFO
will
report
such
proposals
to
EPA
for
consideration
prior
to
issuing
approval.

As
described
in

97­
018,
RFETS
TRU
Waste
Acceptable
Knowledge
Supplemental
Information,
234U
was
not
processed
at
RFETS,
however,
it
is
present
in
small
quantities
in
enriched
uranium
(
EU)
and
depleted
uranium
(
DU).
Since
none
of
the
counters
are
able
to
detect
234U
in
small
quantities,
234U
is
calculated
by
a
controlled
spreadsheet
based
upon
the
estimated
percent
of
234U
present
in
each
measurement,
with
the
ITR
having
first
determined
whether
the
uranium
is
present
as
enriched
(
EU)
or
depleted
(
DU).
The
ITR
determination
is
reviewed
by
the
Technical
Supervisor
to
ensure
accuracy
and
technical
defensibility.
b.
The
RFETS
NDA
systems
are
not
capable
of
directly
measuring
the
amount
of
90Sr
that
may
be
present
in
a
waste
package.
Instead,
RFETS
has
developed
a
scaling
factor
that
allows
the
amount
of
90Sr
to
be
calculated
based
on
a
measured
137Cs
value.
The
derivation
and
application
of
this
scaling
factor
is
described
in

Radionuclide
Isotopic
Ratios
Establishing
isotopic
ratios
for
use
in
quantifying
radionuclides
is
performed
by
direct
measurement
of
the
packages
using
WIPP­
certified
systems.
RFETS
may
opt
to
qualify
AK
as
permitted
by
40
CFR
§
194.22(
b)
by
performing
confirmatory
testing
using
WIPP­
certified
radioassay
systems.
When
RFETS
performs
direct
measurements
of
isotopic
ratios,
it
is
expected
that
all
packages
in
the
waste
stream
are
measured,
with
the
understanding
that,
in
some
cases,
valid
data
may
not
be
obtainable
for
given
packages
for
technical
reasons
(
e.
g.,
lack
of
sufficient
signal
or
poor
counting
statistics).
All
such
instances
are
documented
and
appropriately
dispositioned
by
the
Measurements
organization.
For
those
few
waste
packages
for
which
direct
measurement
does
not
yield
useable
isotopic
ratio
information,
AK
may
be
used.
Table

displays
which
RFETS
NDA
systems
routinely
measure
the
isotopic
ratios
for
each
package
and
which
use
confirmatory
testing.
Confirmatory
testing
is
performed
by
comparing
the
ratio
of
the
measured
240Pu
results
to
the
measured
239Pu
results
to
a
pre­
established
acceptance

Cases
where

to

are

in

Methods
for

of
Isotopic
Ratio
AK
Coincident
with
the
May
17,
2002
effective
date
of
the
CH­
WAC
(
DOE/
WIPP­
02­
3122,
Revision
0),
RFETS
has
implemented
an
enhanced
program
to
measure
and/
or
perform
confirmation
measurements
of
the
10
radionuclides
listed
in
Section
3.3.1
of
the
CH­
WAC
(
DOE/
WIPP­
02­
3122,
Revision
0).
RFETS
no
longer
relies
on
acceptable
knowledge
as
the
sole
mechanism
to
determine
that
certain
radionuclides
are
not
present
in
RFETS
TRU
waste.
RFETS
now
measures
233U
and
137Cs
to
confirm
that
these
radionuclides
and
90Sr
are
not
present
in
its
TRU
waste
streams.
Any
reported
results
for
these
isotopes
will
be
handled
as
a
discrepancy
in
accordance
with
Section
A4.2.2.3.

As
a
minimum,
to
confirm
existing
AK
data,
it
is
necessary
to
compare
ratios
of
the
two
most
prevalent
radionuclides
in
the
isotopic
mix.
For
weapons
grade
plutonium,
these
are
typically
239Pu
and
240Pu.

Because
RFETS
has
performed
chemical
operations
to
separate
241Am
from
plutonium,
it
is
not
possible
to
use
AK
to
relate
241Am
to
a
measurement
of
a
plutonium
isotope.
Consequently,
every
RFETS
NDA
technique
directly
measures
the
241Am
content
in
each
waste
package.

For
weapons
grade
waste,
isotopic
ratio
values
for
238Pu
can
be
assumed
to
be
valid
in
AK
data
if
the
values
for
239Pu
and
240Pu
have
been
confirmed.
Because
242Pu
cannot
be
measured
using
NDA
methods,
the
contribution
of
242Pu
isotopic
ratio
is
calculated
by
correlation
techniques.

Every
RFETS
NDA
system
used
to
assay
TRU
waste
directly
measures
the
235U
content
of
each
waste
package.
If

then
PRO­

directs
the
Independent

Reviewer
to
determine
whether
the
measured
235U
is
part
of
Enriched
Uranium
(
EU)
or
Depleted
Uranium
(
DU).
Once
the
uranium
is
determined
to
be
either
EU
or
DU,
then
AK
information
regarding
the
relative
abundance
of
234U,
235U,
and
238U
in
EU
and
DU
is
used
to
calculate
both
234U
and
238U
concentrations
based
on
the
measured
235U
results;
however,
all
relevant
information
must
be
included
in
the
AK
record.

All
currently
operating
RFETS
NDA
systems
directly
measure
233U
and
137Cs.
RFETS
NDA
systems
are
not
capable
of
directly
measuring
90Sr.
Instead,
RFETS
has
developed
a
scaling
factor
that
allows
the
amount
of
90Sr
to
be
calculated
based
on
a
measured
137Cs
value.
The

of
this

If
there
is
a
discrepancy
between
AK
information
related
to
isotopic
ratios
or
composition,
RFETS
will
evaluate
the
sources
of
the

to
determine
if
the

is
credible.
Discrepancies
between
AK
information
related
to

will
be
evaluated
by
the
Measurements
organization
and
reported
to
the
TRU

office
in
accordance
with

008.
Information
that
is
not
credible
or
information
that
is
limited
in
its
applicability
to
WIPP
characterization
will
be
identified
as
such
and
the
reasons
for
dismissing
it
will
be
justified
in
writing.
Limitations
concerning
the

will
be
documented
in
the

In
the
event
that

Data
Quality
Objectives
The
data
quality
objectives
for
WIPP
certifiable
radiological
characterization
data
are
established
in
Section
3.3
of
the
WIPP­
WAC.
They
are
summarized
in
Table
A4.3­
1
as
they
apply
to
individual
payload
packages.

There
are
no
stipulated
data
quality
objectives
for
PE­
Ci
or
individual
isotope
activities
(
except
as
they
impact
the
requirements
listed
above).
However,
at
a
minimum,
radioassay
programs
must
be
capable
of
identifying
and
reporting
the
presence
or
absence
of:

 
the
ten
radionuclides
identified
in
WIPP­
WAC
Section
3.3.1
for
tracking
of
the
WIPP
radionuclide
inventory,

 
235U,
in
order
to
calculate
FGE,
as
required
in
WIPP­
WAC
Section
3.3.2
for
compliance
with
transportation
requirements,
and
 
other
radionuclides
whose
presence
contribute
to
95%
of
the
radioactive
hazard,
as
specified
in
WIPP­
WAC
Section
3.3.1,
for
compliance
with
transportation
requirements.

In
support
of
the
above
requirements,
RFETS
must
evaluate,
document
and
technically
justify
the
following
determinations.

Lower
Limit
of
Detection:
The
LLD
for
each
radioassay
system
must
be
determined.
Instruments
performing
TRU/
low­
level
waste
discrimination
measurements
must
have
an
LLD
of
100
nCi/
g
or
less.
RFETS
specific
environmental
background
and
package
specific
interferences
must
be
factored
into
LLD
determinations.
The
LLD
is
that
level
of
radioactivity
which,
if
present,
yields
a
measured
value
greater
than
the
critical
level
with
a
95%
probability,
where
the
critical
level
is
defined
as
that
value
which
measurements
of
the
background
will
exceed
with
5%
probability.
Because
the
LLD
is
a
measurement­
based
parameter,
it
is
not
feasible
to
calculate
LLDs
for
radionuclides
that
are
not
determined
primarily
by
measurement
(
e.
g.,
90Sr).
In
such
cases,
RFETS
shall
derive
the
equivalent
of
an
LLD,
(
i.
e.,
a
reporting
threshold
for
a
radionuclide(
s),
when
it
is
technically
justified).
This
value
may
be
based
on
decay
kinetics,
scaling
factors
or
other
scientifically
based
relationships
and
must
be
adequately
documented
in
site
records.
For
purposes
of
reporting
radionuclide
data
in
the
WWIS,
this
value
will
be
the
equivalent
of
an
LLD.
The
description
of
the
methodology

to
determine
the
LLD

each
radionuclide,

a
discussion
of
why
a
LLD

changed,
a
re­
calibration
of

shall
be
performed.

NDA
system
calibration
verification
at
RFETS
is
performed
using
a
graded
approach.
For
minor
changes
to
the
system
(
i.
e.,
replacement
of
components,
minor
repairs,
changes
to
the
system
software),
calibration
verification
generally
consists
of
performing
measurement
control
activities
such
as
measuring
daily
working
standards
several
times
and
documenting
in
the
MC&
A
monthly
measurement
control
report.
For
more
significant
changes
to
the
system
(
i.
e.,
system
relocation,
or
major
modifications
to
the
system),
calibration
verification
is
documented
in
both
a
calibration
verification
plan
and
a
calibration
verification
report.
These
plans
and
reports
are
subjected
to
the
same
type
of
review
and
oversight
as
is
done
for
instrument
qualification.

Calibration
Confirmation:
In
order
to
confirm
that
the
calibration
of
the
NDA
system
was
correctly
established,
the
accuracy
and
precision
of
the
system
are
determined
after
each
calibration
or
re­
calibration
by
performing
replicate
measurements
of
a
non­
interfering
matrix.
Calibration
confirmation
replicate
measurements
are
performed
on
containers
of
the
same
nominal
size
as
those
in
which
actual
waste
is
assayed
and
according
to
approved
waste
assay
procedures.
The
number
of
replicate
measurements
performed
shall
be
documented
and
technically
justified.
The
replicate
measurements
are
performed
using
nationally
recognized
standards,
or
certified
standards
derived
from
nationally
recognized
standards
that
span
the
range
of
use;
meaning
confirmation,
at
a
minimum,
the
lower
and
upper
thirds
of
the
range
of
operation.
The
standards
used
to
calculate
accuracy
are
not
the
same
as
those
used
for
the
system
calibration.
Accuracy
is
reported
as
percent
recovery
(%
R).
The
applicable
range
for
accuracy
shall
not
exceed
±
30%
on
a
non­
interfering
matrix.
Precision
is
reported
as
percent
relative
standard
deviation
(%
RSD).
The
%
RSD
shall
not
exceed
the
values
listed
in
Table
A4.3­
3
for
the
corresponding
number
of
replicate
measurements
in
a
non­
interfering
matrix.

Measurement
facilities
may
develop
alternate
limits
for
accuracy
and
precision
subject
to
approval
by
CBFO
prior
to
certification
of
waste.

General
Requirements
Radioassay
Training:
Only
appropriately
trained
and
qualified
personnel
are

and
meet
the
specifications
in
the
QAPD.
Requalification
of
radioassay
personnel
is

QC
Requirements
RFETS
implements,
qualifies
and
operates
NDA
systems
using
standard
operating
procedures
that
implement
assay
procedures
cited
in
various
ASTM
and
ANSI
standards
and
NRC
standard
practices
and
guidelines
as
referenced
in
the
WIPPWAC
Appendix
A.

Background
Measurements:
Background
measurements
are
to
be
performed
daily,
unless
otherwise
approved
by
CBFO.
Contributions
to
background
due
to
radiation
from
nearby
radiation
producing
equipment,
standards
or
wastes
must
be
carefully
controlled
or
more
frequent
background
checks
must
be
performed.
For
calorimeters,
basepower
or
baseline
measurements
shall
be
conducted
at
a
frequency
determined
by
RFETS
and
approved
by
CBFO.

Instrument
Performance
Measurements:
Performance
checks
on
calibrated
and
operable
gamma
and
neutron
NDA
instruments
are
be
performed
once
per
operational
day.
Performance
checks
include
efficiency
checks
(
when
applicable),
matrix
correction
checks
and,
for
spectrometric
instruments,
peak
position
and
resolution
checks.

Both
radioactive
sources
and
surrogate
waste
matrix
containers
(
both
noninterfering
and
interfering)
are
used.
At
least
once
per
operational
week
an
interfering
matrix
is
used
to
assess
the
long­
term
stability
of
the
NDA
instrument's
matrix
correction.
Surrogate
waste
containers
reflect
the
type
of
waste
(
e.
g.,
debris,
sludge,
etc.)
currently
being
assayed.
To
verify
calibration,
radioactivity
standards
are
selected
such
that,
over
a
six
month
period,
the
operating
range
of
the
assay
system
is
tested
in
each
applicable
surrogate
waste
matrix.
The
use
of
interfering
and
non­
interfering
matrices
provides
a
realistic
assessment
of
the
assay
system's
performance
over
time,
and
will
assist
measurement
personnel
in
detecting
potential
problems
relative
to
the
matrices
currently
assayed
by
the
measurement
system.
Interfering
matrix
measurement
control
checks
are
performed
in
accordance
with
PRO­
731­
MC­
002,
Measurement
Control
for
NDA.

Interfering
surrogate
matrix
containers
are
constructed
in
such
a
way
that
the
waste
characteristics
do
not
change
over
time.

Radioactive
sources
are
long­
lived,
easy
to
position
relative
to
the
detector(
s),
and
of
sufficient
radioactivity
to
obtain
good
results
with
relatively
short
count
times.

Performance
checks
for
calorimetry
are
performed
with
electrical
and/
or
heat
standards
traceable
to
a
nationally
accredited
measurement
program
at
a
frequency
determined
by
RFETS,
consistent
with
ANSI
N15.22­
1987,
Plutonium­

Data
Management
Guidance
RFETS
has
generated
data
under
the
requirements
of
TWMM
Revision
4,
which
largely
implemented
DOE/
WIPP­
069,
Revision
7,
Change
Notice
2.
This
data
may
have
been
in
various
stages
of
the
data
review,
verification,
validation,
and
reporting
process
on
May
17,
2002,
the
date
the
CH­
WAC
(
DOE/
WIPP­
02­
3122,
Revision
0)
became
effective.

Data
that
was
completely
through
the
data
review,
verification,
validation,
and
reporting
process
on
May
17,
2002,
was
accepted
as
having
met
the
requirements
of
the
WAC
(
DOE/
WIPP­
069,
Revision
7,
Change
Notice
2).
No
reconciliation
with
the
requirements
of
the
CH­
WAC
(
DOE/
WIPP­
02­
3122,
Revision
0)
was
performed.

For
data
that
was
collected
and
part
way
through
the
data
review,
verification,
validation,
and
reporting
process
prior
to
May
17,
2002,
the
requirement
for
a
replicate
measurement
was
in
effect,
and
weekly
interfering
matrix
measurements
were
not
required.
Consequently,
the
site
program
office
in
reviewing
and
approving
the
data
package
on
or
after
May
17,
2002,
indicated
on
the
batch
report
and/
or
batch
review
checklist
the
use
of
replicates
(
required
in
DOE/
WIPP­
069,
Revision
7,
Change
Notice
2)
in
lieu
of
the
use
of
a
weekly
interfering
surrogate
waste
matrix
(
required
in
DOE/
WIPP­
02­
3122,
Revision
0).
Also,
the
associated
radionuclides
reported
to
the
WWIS
on
or
after
May
17,
2002,
only
included
those
radionuclides
that
were
quantified
by
the
NDA
system.
RFETS
identified
in
the
Batch
Data
Report
(
such
as
in
a
case

checklist)
the
rationale
for
addressing
these
allowed
variances
from
the
requirements
of
the
CHWAC

Data
collected
after
May

At
a
minimum,
the
data
must
be
reviewed
by
a
technical
reviewer
and
approved
by
the
TWCP
Site
PM
or
designee(

is
reported
to
the
TWCP
Project
Office
on
a
testing
batch
basis.
Batches
are
defined,
for
the
purpose
of
the
program,
as
a
suite
of
waste
containers
undergoing
radioassay
using
the
same
testing
equipment.
For
NDA,
RFETS
shall
specify
the
size
of
the
testing
batch
as
needed,
without
regard
to
waste
matrix.

The
RFETS
Measurements
Organization
is
required
to

Quality
Characteristics
Assessment
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c),
there
are
five
"
quality
characteristics"
that
have
to
be
assessed.
These
quality
characteristics
and
the
method
by
which
they
are
assessed
are
described
in
the
following
sections.

A4.6.1
Data
Accuracy
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c)(
1),
Data
Accuracy
is
defined
as
"
the
degree
to
which
data
agree
with
an
acceptable
reference
or
true
value."
For
NDA
methods,
this
quality
characteristic
is
met
and
maintained
as
described
in
Section
A4.4.2.

A4.6.2
Data
Precision
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c)(
2),
Data
Precision
is
defined
as
"
a
measure
of
the
mutual
agreement
between
comparable
data
gathered
or
developed
under
similar
conditions
expressed
in
terms
of
standard
deviation."
For
NDA
methods,
this
quality
characteristic
is
met
and
maintained
as
described
in
Section
A4.4.2.

A4.6.3
Data
Representativeness
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c)(
3),
Data
Representativeness
is
defined
as
"
the
degree
to
which
data
can
accurately
and
precisely
represent
a
characteristic
of
a
population,
a
parameter,
variations
at
a
sampling
point,
or
environmental
conditions."
For
NDA,
this
quality
characteristic
for
the
waste
stream
is
met
and
maintained
through
100%
measurement
confirmation
on
a
payload
package
basis.
For
NDA,
since
the
entire
waste
package
is
subjected
to
measurement,
representativeness
pertaining
to
the
actual
measurement
is
not
applicable.

A4.6.4
Data
Completeness
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c)(
4),
Data
Completeness
is
defined
as
"
a
measure
of
the
amount
of
valid
data
obtained
compared
to
the
amount
that
was
expected."
For
NDA
methods,
this
quality
characteristic
is
met
and
maintained
by
requiring
100%
valid
results.
Any
results
indicating
the
NDA
measurement
was
invalid
require
remeasurement

A4.6.5
Data
Comparability
Per
40
CFR
§
194.22(
c)(
5),
Data
Comparability
is
defined
as
"
a
measure
of
confidence
with
which
one
data
set
can
be
compared
to
another."
For
NDA,
this
quality
characteristic
is
addressed
by
ensuring
that
all
data
are
produced
under
the
same
system
of
controls.
These
controls
apply
to
all
aspects
of
the
data
generation
process,
including:
procurement
of
analytical
instruments;
calibration
and
operation
of
assay
equipment
according
to
industry
standards;
preparation
and
use
of
standardized
instrument
and
data
review
procedures;
and,
training
of
equipment
operators
and
technical/
data
review
personnel
to
the
QAPD,
as
specified
in
Section
A4.4.1.
All
NDA
systems
and
methods
are
approved
by
CBFO
prior
to
use
in
generating
waste
characterization
data.
Additionally,
comparison
of
measured
data
with
AK
derived
or
based
values,
as
applicable,
provides
a
means
to
assess
comparability
on
a
waste
stream
basis.
Although
no
specific
confidence
level
is
specified,
these
controls
provide
comparability
among
all
data
generated
under
this
program.
RFETS
shall
participate
in

Overpack

configurations
assume
two
filters

the
payload
package
as
the
baseline
(
as
described
in
Section
6.2.5.1
of
the
RFETS
TRAMPAC
Compliance
Plan).
The
"
Number

should
be
entered
as
the
ratio
of
the
total
number
of
filters

divided
by
the
baseline
number
of
filters
(

For
example,
for
an
SWB

with
3
filters,
the
"
