omponents, including the use of chemical decontamination techniques f. decontamination of structures or buildings, such as the auxiliary and fuel handling buildings g. conduct of activities related to special or unusual programs (e.g., the removal and processing of fuel debris from the spent fuel pool) that might result in significant environmental impacts not bounded by the Decommissioning GEIS or other appropriate federally issued environmental review documents (activities that would need to be described in greater detail) DG-1349 Revision 1, Page 10 h. storage of radiologically contaminated components on site i. plans for shipping and processing low-level radioactive waste, including any anticipated compaction, minimization, or incineration of the waste j. location of the ultimate disposal site (if known) for low-level radioactive waste and plans for interim storage, if necessary k. storage or removal of the spent fuel and greater-than-Class-C (GTCC) waste, including the use (if planned) of an ISFSI or wet storage facility l. removal of hazardous radioactive (mixed) wastes If long-term storage (longer than approximately 5 years) followed by dismantlement is selected as a decommissioning option for the facility, the licensee should list and describe activities related to preparing the facility and site for storage (i.e., SAFSTOR). It should also discuss activities and tasks for maintaining the facility and site in SAFSTOR in preparation for eventual decontamination and dismantlement. The description of the SAFSTOR preparation process and the storage phase should specifically identify activities such as the following: a. draining of specific systems and removal of resins from ion exchangers b. decontamination of specific high-dose areas c. removal of low-level waste that is ready for shipment d. shipping and processing or storage of the fuel and GTCC waste e. re-energizing or deactivating specific systems f. reconfiguring ventilation systems and fire protection
