REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of effectiveness of radwaste systems and health physics in confirming that processed waste products meet regulatory requirements on waste classifications and characteristics for transfers and disposal and shipment. Secondary - Organizations responsible for the reviews of radwaste system design features, system capacities, and performance in processing and packaging liquid, wet, and solid waste materials. I. AREAS OF REVIEW For a review of an application for an early site permit (ESP), a construction permit (CP), standard design certification (DC), or a combined license (COL) that does not reference a DC, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviews the information in the applicant’s Safety Analysis Report (Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) or Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)) as it relates to the sources of radioactivity that are processed by the solid waste management system (SWMS). At the operating license (OL) or COL stage of review, the staff confirms that the information accepted at the CP or standard DC stage is appropriately incorporated in the relevant sections of OL or COL applications that reference a DC, or that proposed departures are adequately justified and documented. 11.4-2 Revision 4 – January 2016 This Standard Review Plan (SRP) section addresses the evaluation of plant systems used to manage, treat, process, and store liquid, wet, and solid radioactive wastes generated by pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). The waste streams include liquid and gaseous effluents generated as byproducts of the operation of waste processing equipment. The staff’s evaluation assesses whether an applicant has demonstrated compliance with regulatory requirements on waste classifications and characteristics for the transfer, disposal, and shipment. The evaluation also considers compliance with limits on gaseous and liquid effluent
