Content:
stabilization and/or dewatering method is capable of solidifying and/or dewatering the range of constituents expected to be present in wastes. The methods proposed to verify that all wet wastes can be adequately stabilized or dewatered are reviewed, and a determination is made as to their acceptability considering (a) the ability of the technique to detect free, mobile, or uncombined liquids (in the case of encapsulation or solidification) or excess free water (such as in the case of dewatering), (b) the procedures to be employed to solidify or dewater free liquids if detected, (c) the expected final waste form characteristics, and (d) the extent of reliance on mobile processing systems and waste processors. The PCP, including dewatering or stabilization (if performed), is reviewed on a plant-specific basis against the 10 CFR Part 61 requirements and guidance given in BTP 11-3 and Generic Letter Nos. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039. 3. The description of procedures for the packaging and shipment of solid wastes to an approved offsite disposal facility or waste processor is reviewed, and the reviewer verifies that the applicant makes definite commitments to follow appropriate NRC and DOT regulations, as well as EPA and State regulations addressing the presence of other toxic and hazardous materials. The values given in the SAR for the volumes, radionuclide distributions and concentrations, and radioactive inventories of wastes to be shipped off site are compared with data from operating plants of similar design and information from previous license applications. 4. The solid waste system design capacity is compared with the design basis of expected 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. The inplant storage capacity, for areas designed to accommodate approximately 6 months of waste generation, is compared to the
