NUREG-0800 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STANDARD REVIEW PLAN BRANCH TECHNICAL POSITION 11-3 DESIGN GUIDANCE FOR SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN LIGHT-WATER-COOLED NUCLEAR POWER REACTOR PLANTS REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of effectiveness of radwaste systems. Secondary - Organizations responsible for the review of (1) radwaste system design and performance, and (2) solid waste materials. A. Background During normal operation of a nuclear power plant, radioactive materials are generated in the form of “wet” and “dry” wastes. Wet wastes, including spent resins (bead or powdered), filter sludge, process and reverse osmosis concentrates, and spent cartridge filter elements, are normally byproducts of the operation of liquid waste processing systems. Dry wastes, including activated charcoal, HEPA filters, rags, paper, and clothing, are normally byproducts of the operation of ventilation air and gaseous waste processing systems and are generated during maintenance and refueling operations. Wet and dry wastes require processing by using appropriate waste management systems before shipment for offsite disposal. Compressible dry wastes, such as contaminated rags, paper, and clothing, normally undergo a compaction process to reduce the volume of waste shipped off site. Special provisions are needed to assure that contaminated airborne radioactivity is not released to the process area during compaction. BTP 11-3-2 Revision 3 -
