s radioactive materials generated in the form of "wet" and "dry" wastes. These wastes are collected and processed by the solid waste system using the guidelines contained in BTP ETSB 11-3. Meeting the guidelines of BTP ETSB 11-3 provide a level of assurance that the solid waste system include the necessary equipment, processes and procedures to satisfactorily process, monitor and store radioactive wastes prior to being shipped offsite.36 9. Appendix 11.4-A to SRP Section 11.4 addresses the long term storage of wet waste, solidified wet waste and dry low level waste. The objective of Appendix 11.4-A is to provide guidance to applicants considering onsite low level radioactive waste storage capabilities for several years, but for a storage period significantly less than the life of the plant. The guidance places emphasis on safety considerations in the storing, handling, and eventual disposition of the radioactive waste. Meeting the guidelines of Appendix 11.4-A provide a level of assurance that the solid waste system will meet the requirements to minimize or ensure that container breach will not occur during temporary storage periods and to preclude or reduce the occurrence of uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials due to handling, transporting, or storage.37 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The ETSBSPLB reviewer will select and emphasize material from this SRP section as may be appropriate for a particular case. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-8 1. ETSBSPLB reviews the P&IDs and the process flow diagrams to determine system design, methods of operation, and parameters used in the design, i.e., expected and design flow rates, radioactivity concentrations of radioactive material, radionuclide 38 distribution, and waste categories. The system design and design criteria will be compared with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.143, Branch Technical Position (BTP) ETSB 11-3, and available data from operating plants of similar design. 2. ETSBSPLB compares the methods to be
