y and adequacy of the guidance previously provided in BTP 11-3, as referenced in SRP Section 11.4, Revision 3, dated March 2007. See the ADAMS Accession No. ML070730202. Editorial changes included new abbreviations in several places throughout this section and corrected grammatical errors. Other changes reflect the removal of redundant information. Technical changes incorporated in this revision include: I. AREAS OF REVIEW The areas of review, as described in the background and technical position sections, were revised by expanding technical guidance for describing acceptable methods to process and treat dry and wet wastes, and assure complete waste stabilization using a plant specific PCP to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 61.55 and 10 CFR 61.56 and with waste acceptance criteria of a licensed disposal site or a third-party waste broker/processor. The areas of review now address compliance with 10 CFR 20.1406, as it relates to how facility design and operational procedures would be applied to minimize, to the extent practicable, contamination of the facility and the environment; facilitate eventual decommissioning; and minimize, to the extent practicable, the generation of radioactive waste. Specific NRC guidance in meeting these requirements is provided – see listed references. With respect to specific types of waste forms, the technical discussion was expanded to address operational safeguards in preventing the introduction and mixing of chemical additives with ion-exchange resins that could result in the generation of exothermic reactions and explosive gas mixtures. With respect to waste storage, the technical discussion was expanded to address the need for ventilation exhaust systems where there is a potential for airborne radioactivity to be generated or to accumulate in process equipment or buildings. In addition, airborne radioactive releases should be controlled and monitored under the provisions of operational programs. In instances where mobile or
