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 used for solidification and/or dewatering with experience gained from previous licensing reviews and with available data from operating plants employing similar methods. ETSBSPLB will review the process control programs to assure that the proposed solidification and/or dewatering method is capable of solidifying and/or dewatering the range of constituents expected to be present in the wastes. ETSBSPLB reviews the methods proposed to verify that all wet wastes have been adequately solidified or dewatered and will determine their acceptability considering (a) the ability of the technique to detect free, mobile, or uncombined liquids (in the case of solidification) or excess free water (in the case of dewatering), (b) the procedure to be employed to solidify or dewater free liquids if detected, and (c) the waste form characteristics. SPLB will review the process control programs, including dewatering or solidification (if performed), on a plant-specific basis against 10 CFR Part 61 requirements.39 3. ETSBSPLB reviews the description of procedures for the packaging and shipment of solid wastes to an approved offsite burialdisposal facility, and verifies that the applicant 40 makes definite commitments to following appropriate Federal and State regulations. ETSBSPLB compares the values given in the SAR for the volumes and radionuclide content of solid wastes to be shipped offsite with data from operating plants of similar design and information from previous license applications. 4. ETSBSPLB compares the solid waste system design capacity with the design basis input waste volumes to determine whether the applicant has provided sufficient reserve capacity for greater-than-expected waste volumes which may occur as a result of anticipated operational occurrences.
