Scope
This standard sets forth the design@ construction@ and performance requirements for a solid radioactive waste processing system for light-water-cooled reactor plants. For the purposes of this standard@ the solid radioactive waste processing system begins at the interface with the liquid radioactive waste processing system boundary and at the inlets to the spent resin@ filter sludge@ evaporator concentrate@ and phase separator tanks. In addition@ this standard pertains to dry active waste@ mixed waste@ and other solid radioactive waste forms that are generated as part of the operation and maintenance of light-water-cooled reactor plants. The system includes facilities for temporary (up to 30 days of anticipated normal waste generation) on-site storage of packaged waste but terminates at the point of loading the filled drums and other containers on a vehicle for shipping off-site to a licensed disposal site or transfer to interim (up to 5 yr) on-site storage facilities. The solid radioactive waste processing system is not a safety-class system as defined by American National Standard Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of Stationary Pressurized Water Reactor Plants@ ANSI/ANS-51.1-1983 (R1988) [1]1 or as defined in American National Standard Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of Stationary Boiling Water Reactor Plants@ ANSI/ANS-52.1-1983(R1988)[2]. 1Numbers in brackets refer to corresponding numbers in Section 11@ References.
