REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Effluent Treatment Systems Branch (ETSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW At the construction permit (CP) stage, ETSB reviews the design objectives, criteria, performance objectives, and description of the solid waste system (SWS) as given in the applicant's preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR). During the operating license (OL) stage of review, ETSB confirms the design accepted at the CP stage and evaluates the applicant's process control program and technical specifica- tions in these areas. ETSB reviews the following: 1. The design objectives in terms of expected and design volumes of waste to be processed and handled, the wet and dry types of waste to be processed (e.g., sludges, resins, evaporator bottoms, and dry material such as contaminated tools, equipment, rags, paper, and clothing), the activity and expected radio- nuclide distribution contained in the waste, equipment design capacities, and the principal parameters employed in the design of the SWS. 2. The description of the SWS, the piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and the process flow diagrams showing the methods of operation, the expected chemical content and radionuclide concentrations of liquid wastes to be processed and handled by the SWS, and the expected volumes to be returned to the liquid radwaste system for further treatment. 3. The description of the methods for solidification (i.e., of removal of free water), the description of the methods for dewatering, the solidifying agent used, and the implementation of a process control program to ensure a solid matrix and proper waste form characteristics and/or complete dewatering.
