REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Effluent TreatmentPlant Systems Branch (ETSB)(SPLB)2 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW At the construction permit (CP) or standard design certification stage, ETSBSPLB reviews the 3 4 design objectives, criteria, performance objectives, and description of the solid waste management system (SWMS) as given in the applicant's preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR). During the operating license (OL) or combined license (COL) stage of review, 5 ETSBSPLB confirms the design accepted at the CP or standard design certification stage and 6 evaluates the applicant's process control program and technical specifications in these areas. ETSBSPLB 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 radionuclide distribution contained in the waste, equipment design capacities, and the principal parameters employed in the design of the SWMS. 2. The description of the SWMS, 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 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-2 SWMS, 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. 4. The description of the type and size of solid waste containers; the method of filling, handling, and monitoring for removable radioactive
