Content:
agement system should be included in the ER: • a summary description of the liquid and gaseous radioactive waste-management and effluent-control systems; • process and instrumentation diagrams and system process flow diagrams of the liquid and gaseous radioactive waste-management and effluent-control systems referenced from the FSAR; • identification of sources of radioactive liquid and gaseous waste material within the proposed plant; • identification of principal release points for radioactive materials to the environment; • elevation of gaseous effluent vents; • identification of direct radiation sources stored onsite as solid waste (e.g., an independent spent fuel storage installation or permanently shutdown units on the site); • information requested in Appendices A and B of RG 1.112, “Calculation of Releases of Radioactive Materials in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactors” (Ref. 53); • a summary description of the solid radioactive waste-management system to include the expected total volume of the solid radioactive waste that would be shipped offsite annually; • solid radioactive waste storage plans and capabilities, including annual quantities of waste produced; • a discussion on where the Class A, B, and C low-level waste will be sent; • description of plant systems producing mixed waste (hazardous and low-level radioactive), and minimization plans; • mixed-waste storage plans and capabilities, including annual quantities of waste produced; and DG-4026, Page 60 • mixed-waste disposal plans. 3.4.3 Nonradioactive Waste Management The applicant should describe any nonradioactive solid or liquid-waste materials such as water- management waste, solid waste, gaseous waste, and hazardous waste that may be generated during operation. The description should include estimates of the quantities of wastes to be disposed of, their pollutant concentrations, the manner in which they will be treated and
