uirements on waste classifications and characteristics for the transfer, disposal, and shipment. The evaluation also considers compliance with limits on gaseous and liquid effluent discharges from the operation of waste processing equipment and associated doses to members of the public in ensuring that releases and doses are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The SWMS manages radioactive wastes, as liquid, wet, and dry solid wastes, produced during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs). Review of the SWMS includes design features that are necessary for collecting, handling, processing, and storing wastes in facilities that are part of the nuclear island (e.g., radioactive waste building) or in other buildings (e.g., as a detached radioactive waste storage only facility). The review encompasses, but is not limited to the design, design objectives, design criteria, treatment methods, and expected releases, including the description of the SWMS, mobile equipment connected to permanently installed systems, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), process and effluent radiation monitoring and control instrumentation, and process flow diagrams showing the operational methods and factors that influence waste treatment. The review includes an evaluation of any additional equipment that may be necessary to process liquid, dry, and wet wastes and route them to the point of discharge from the SWMS or to prepare them for shipment to authorized offsite disposal sites or licensed radioactive waste processors. The SWMS has been categorized as nonsafety-related and nonrisk-significant. Failure of processing systems must not compromise any safety-related system or component, nor may it prevent the safe shutdown of the plant. However, the failure of specific systems or components may have some impacts on the means to control and monitor effluent releases and compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 20 regulations in
