e that provisions be included in the system design that describe the dewatering process and solidification process and the classifying, processing, and the disposing of solid wastes. The system should also address the criteria which the different waste classes should satisfy and the various characteristics that the processed wet wastes should satisfy. 11.4-7 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 61, §§ 61.55 and 61.56, provide a level of assurance that the radioactive waste processed by the SWMS has been properly classified such that controls, waste form and disposal methods are effective and that the processed waste when stabilized, if required, will not structurally degrade.34 7. 10 CFR Part 71 establishes requirements for packaging, preparation for shipment, transportation of licensed material, and procedures and standards for packaging and shipping of fissile material or a quantity of other licensed material in excess of a Type A quantity as defined by 10 CFR Part 61.55. With regard to the SWMS, 10 CFR Part 71 defines the manner in which the solid waste byproduct is packaged, the qualifications of the packaging material, testing of the package, and the quality control governing the overall activity. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 provide a level of assurance that the operation of the solid waste systems with regard to packaging, preparation for shipment, and transportation of licensed material will not result in an undue risk to the public.35 8. Branch Technical Position (BTP) ETSB 11-3 contains system design guidelines addressing process parameters, waste solidification or dewatering, waste form properties, free liquid detection, waste storage, and portable solid waste systems. With regard to the SWMS, the system receives 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
