International Low Level Waste Management Practices and Technical Bases for Very Low Level Waste Classification - 19415

Different countries around the globe use varying schemes for the classification of radioactive waste. Many countries use adaptations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) waste classification scheme. The United States uses the Class A, B, and C waste classification scheme that is loosely based on the IAEA concepts. Classification may be based on concentration limits or dose rate limits or a combination of concentration and dose rate limits. In some countries the existence of very low-level waste categories allows nuclear power plant waste to be disposed of in hazardous waste or shallow land burial sites separate from low and intermediate level waste disposal facilities. In the United States, the very low-level waste (VLLW) classification does not exist. Nuclear power plants use alternative disposal procedures under 10CFR20.2002 and other licensed processes in agreement states in order to dispose of very low activity waste in hazardous waste disposal sites. [1] Disposal of VLLW in hazardous waste or separate VLLW facilities is generally more cost effective than disposing of waste in radioactive waste sites and is protective of the health and safety of the public. This can become an important factor when large volumes of very low activity waste are generated during decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Radiation Safety (RS) Program has developed technical bases for the establishment of a very low-level waste category. EPRI studied how VLLW waste is defined, managed, and disposed of in various countries. This included the study of disposal site design, characteristics, and how these sites protect the health and safety of the environment and the public from low levels of radioactivity. EPRI conducted a cost benefit analysis to understand the economic impact of disposing VLLW in hazardous waste disposal sites versus low-level waste disposal sites. Finally, EPRI calculated potential radionuclide limits that may be used to define very low-level waste. The purpose of this work was to provide an example of how one might approach defining limits for VLLW. The same or similar approaches could be applied to derive radionuclide limits for different dose limit objectives. This paper presents the results of research that explored the waste management and disposal practices at six countries around the world with additional focus and details on the implementation of the very low-level waste category.

Classification of the Z-Pinch Waste Stream as Low-Level Waste for Disposal

The purpose of this document is to describe the waste stream from Z-Pinch Residual Waste Project that due to worker safety concerns and operational efficiency is a candidate for blending Transuranic and low level waste together and can be safely packaged as low-level waste consistent with DOE Order 435.1 requirements and NRC guidance 10 CFR 61.42. This waste stream consists of the Pu-ICE post-shot containment systems, including plutonium targets, generated from the Z Machine experiments requested by LANL and conducted by SNL/NM. In the past, this TRU waste was shipped back to LANL after Sandia sends the TRU data package to LANL to certify the characterization (by CCP), transport and disposition at WIPP (CBFO) per LANL MOU-0066. The Low Level Waste is managed, characterized, shipped and disposed of at NNSS by SNL/NM per Sandia MOU # 11-S-560.

Optimising the Performance of the Low Level Waste Repository - 12144

The Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) is the United Kingdom's principal facility for the disposal of low-level waste (LLW). The LLWR made a major submission to its environmental regulator (the Environment Agency) on 1 May 2011, the LLWR's 2011 Environmental Safety Case (ESC). One of the key regulatory requirements is that all aspects of the construction, operation and closure of the disposal facility should be optimised. An optimised Site Development Plan for the repository was developed and produced as part of the ESC. The Site Development Plan covers all aspects of the construction, operation and closure of the disposal facility. This includes the management of past and future disposals, emplacement strategies, design of the disposal vaults, and the closure engineering for the site. The Site Development Plan also covers the period of active institutional control, when disposals at the site have ceased, but it is still under active management, and plans for the long-term sustainable use of the site. We have a practical approach to optimisation based on recorded judgements and realistic assessments of practicable options framed within the demands of UK policy for LLW management and the characteristics the LLWR site and existing elements of the facility. The final performance assessments undertaken for the ESC were based on the Site Development Plan. The ESC will be used as a tool to inform future decision-making concerning the repository design, operation and the acceptance of wastes, as set out in the evolving Site Development Plan. Maintaining the ESC is thus essential to ensure that the Site Development Plan takes account of an up-to-date understanding and analysis of environmental performance, and that the Plan continues to be optimised.

FY2020 performance assessment annual review for the E-area low-level waste facility

The Savannah River Site (SRS) E-Area Low-Level Waste Facility (ELLWF) consists of six types of disposal units described in the Performance Assessment (PA) (WSRC, 2008): Low Activity Waste Vault (LAWV), Intermediate Level Vault (ILV), Trenches [Slit Trenches (STs), Engineered Trenches (ETs), and Component-in-Grout (CIG) Trenches], and Naval Reactor Component Disposal Areas (NRCDAs). The ELLWF is a part of the Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF). SWMF is managed and operated by the SRS Management and Operations prime contractor, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS). Within SRNS, the Solid Waste Management (SWM) organization is responsible for operating the SWMF, and the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is the technical agency responsible for preparing and maintaining the PA. SWMF operations have been performed at SRS since 1952. The mission of the SWMF is to provide storage, processing, disposal, and shipment of radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste. The SWMF is committed to treat, store, and dispose of these waste products in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of the facility worker, the co-located worker, and the offsite general public. Wastes handled in the SWMF include low level waste, transuranic waste, hazardous waste, Toxic Substances Control Act waste, and mixed waste (containing both hazardous and radioactive constituents). The FY2020 PA Annual Review for the ELLWF affirms that the disposal facility continued to operate within the bounds of the current PA and Composite Analysis (CA) baseline and the subsequent SA’s and satisfied all the requirements, conditions, and limitations identified in the 2008 DAS (DOE 2008a), RWMB SRNL_STI-2020-00588 Revision 0 vi (McGill, 2020), and ELLWF Low-Level Waste Acceptance Criteria (SRS-1S, 2014). This annual review affirms that the supporting studies performed in FY2020 do not alter the conclusions of the ELLWF PA (WSRC, 2008) and that there is a reasonable expectation that the ELLWF will meet the performance objectives delineated in DOE Manual 435.1-1 (DOE 2011)

Preliminary Safety Design Report for Remote Handled Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility

A new onsite, remote-handled low-level waste disposal facility has been identified as the highest ranked alternative for providing continued, uninterrupted remote-handled low-level waste disposal for remote-handled low-level waste from the Idaho National Laboratory and for nuclear fuel processing activities at the Naval Reactors Facility. Historically, this type of waste has been disposed of at the Radioactive Waste Management Complex. Disposal of remote-handled low-level waste in concrete disposal vaults at the Radioactive Waste Management Complex will continue until the facility is full or until it must be closed in preparation for final remediation of the Subsurface Disposal Area (approximately at the end of Fiscal Year 2017). This preliminary safety design report supports the design of a proposed onsite remote-handled low-level waste disposal facility by providing an initial nuclear facility hazard categorization, by discussing site characteristics that impact accident analysis, by providing the facility and process information necessary to support the hazard analysis, by identifying and evaluating potential hazards for processes associated with onsite handling and disposal of remote-handled low-level waste, and by discussing the need for safety features that will become part of the facility design.

Sampling Low-Level Waste - Building a Program - 16101

Low level radioactive waste is routinely sampled and analyzed to demonstrate compliance with Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 61. The sample results are frequently used to create scaling factors to relate the activity of hard to detect (HDT) radionuclides to gamma emitting activity if there is a correlation between the key and scaled radionuclide pair. The activity of gamma emitters can be used with these scaling factors to calculate activity of the low level waste generated in the plant. Another method is to use the sample results directly and scale the total activity to the volume or weight of the waste in the container. Either method assumes that the sample results are representative of the total waste in the container. This requires that the waste streams be accurately defined and that the samples contain radionuclides at ratios that are representative of the bulk waste. This is not always the case and deviations between the sample results and the actual radionuclide concentrations in the waste can lead to miss-classification of the waste resulting in regulatory non-compliance, increased waste disposal costs or both. A deliberate sampling methodology that considers the context of the waste generation and the inherent limitations in practical sampling methodologies will enhance the licensee's ability to demonstrate the analytical results from the sample are representative and defendable. A good sampling program starts with the establishment of waste streams that are consistent with both production mechanisms and plant systems. Once waste streams have been established, data quality objectives can be determined and then the methods for obtaining an appropriate sample can be developed along with the identification of sample points and sample schedules. Sometimes it may not be practical or even possible to obtain a truly representative sample in which case the results from the measurement of the sample must be evaluated within the context of the expected values and the factors inhibiting the collection of a truly representative sample. This paper will explore objectives of a sampling program in relation to the regulations and identify methods that can be used to obtain and evaluate sample data that can be defended as 'representative'.

E- Area Low-Level Waste Facility Multitiered Groundwater and Intruder Radionuclide Screening

Solid Waste Management (SWM) operates the E- Area Low-Level Waste Facility (ELLWF) where low level on-site and off-site solid waste streams are buried. The facility has been in operation since late 1994 and is currently projected to remain in operation until 2065. This facility can accommodate a broad range of waste forms resulting from the six different types of disposal unit (DU) options (i.e., varying degrees of engineered barriers → trenches to concrete vaults). This facility is currently operating under a Performance Assessment (PA)issued back in 2008, along with several subsequent supporting Special Analyses (SA).

Modeling Interfaces to Support Low-Level Waste Disposal System Performance Assessments - 20366

In low-level waste (LLW) disposal sites, interfaces between cementitious materials, used as waste forms and/or engineered barriers, and the surrounding soil or backfill material are often encountered. Reactions across these interfaces may lead to chemical and structural alteration of the cementitious and backfill materials that may ultimately affect long-term performance. For example, the ingress of carbon dioxide from soil gas into a waste tank concrete shell at the Hanford Site or Savannah River Site (SRS) or a low-level waste disposal vault at SRS leads to carbonation of cement hydration products (e.g. portlandite, calcium-silicate hydrate or C-S-H, and ettringite). The result of carbonation is a decrease in pH in the cement paste portion of the tank wall or vault concrete structure that could ultimately lead to de-passivation of the embedded structural steel and, eventually, to cracking. Cracking can lead to increased ingress of water into the structure, corresponding increased release of constituents of concern, and to subsequent increased transport of these constituents to the surrounding environment. The mobility of trace constituents (e.g., radionuclides of concern) in waste forms may increase in response to changes in pH, pore structure, and mineralogical gradients. Depletion of portlandite results in subsequent decalcification of C-S-H that leads to changes in the cement strength and may lead to structural failure. At the boundary between waste forms and concrete vaults, the migration of sulfate ions from the salt waste form (e.g., the saltstone waste form used for LLW disposal at the Savannah River Site in Saltstone Disposal Units, or SDUs) into the barrier or vault concrete has been predicted to result in expansive mineral phase formation (or 'sulfate attack'). Expansive mineral formation could result in cracking and potential loss of structural integrity in the vault concrete. In the performance assessment (PA) for the SRS SDUs, prediction of both the carbonation and sulfate attack fronts are critical to assessing the long-term performance of these LLW disposal vaults. A general purpose geochemical reactive transport model has been developed in LeachXS/ORCHESTRA to evaluate typical interfaces for LLW disposal environments, including SDUs at SRS. The model may be used to predict the long-term performance of interfaces between cementitious materials and saltstone or backfill materials with respect to primary phases by considering mass transport, cement chemistry, geochemical speciation, and multi-ionic diffusion over interfaces between different materials. The present study compares the performance and interactions between vault concrete and saltstone waste form for a representative SDU scenario. The materials were characterized using pH-dependence leaching test (EPA 1313) and semi-dynamic transport tests (EPA 1315) with test results used to parameterize the interface model. The development of a credible inter model provides an important basis for supporting future PAs where carbonation and sulfate attack are important aging and degradation mechanisms. (authors)

E-Area Low-Level Waste Facility Multitiered Groundwater and Intruder Radionuclide Screening

Solid Waste Management (SWM) operates the E-Area Low-Level Waste Facility (ELLWF) where low level on-site and off-site solid waste streams are buried. The facility has been in operation since late 1994 and is currently projected to remain in operation until 2065. This facility can accommodate a broad range of waste forms resulting from the six different types of disposal unit (DU) options (i.e., varying degrees of engineered barriers → trenches to concrete vaults). This facility is currently operating under a Performance Assessment (PA) issued back in 2008 (WSRC 2008), along with several subsequent supporting Special Analyses (SAs). The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) developed the prior PAs and SAs and was tasked to update the facility’s upcoming PA, most likely to be issued during FY2023. For operating the E-Area facility, a Consolidated Waste Tracking System (CWTS) is actively employed by waste generators where every radionuclide entering the facility, to be buried in one of its many DUs1, must be either directly or indirectly tracked. Since there are many radionuclides in existence (>3,000), the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), specially ICRP Publication 107, has provided guidance on the subset of radionuclides requiring further assessment in landfills such as the ELLWF. The ICRP 107 publication provides critical radiological information on 1,252 radionuclides consisting of 97 elements. This database, along with the current dose coefficients that have been developed for these radionuclides in DOE-STD-1196-2011 (DOE 2011), is the critical starting point for developing a consistent inventory limit system.

Development of the Waste Acceptance Criteria for the Idaho National Laboratory Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility - 19143

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste (RH LLW) Disposal Facility has been constructed, has received operational approval from the Department of Energy (DOE), and is expected to receive its first waste shipment in FY 2019. The RH LLW Disposal Facility will support the needs of INL and the Naval Reactors Facility (NRF). RH LLW destined for the facility includes waste currently in storage from previous programs and projects conducted at INL; newly generated waste from programs and projects conducted at INL; and waste from NRF spent fuel processing activities. This new facility supports RH LLW disposal needs for the ongoing mission of INL and NRF. Waste to be disposed of at the RH LLW Disposal Facility may exhibit dose rates that range from 0.002 Sv/hr to 600 Sv/hr. Waste types include resins and activated metals as well as surface-contaminated debris generated from existing and new missions. The total number of canisters currently planned for disposal at the RH LLW Disposal Facility is 939 with the possibility of future expansion. The projected waste volume to be disposed of is 3,100 m{sup 3}. The RH LLW Disposal Facility will receive a wide variety of RH LLW and is in preparations to receive its first canisters in FY 2019. Waste acceptance criteria (WAC) and the radioactive waste management basis have been developed and implemented in accordance with the applicable DOE Order. In order to ensure that DOE requirements and guidance were appropriately implemented in the RH LLW Disposal Facility WAC, the project worked closely with the DOE Low Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG) representatives and followed the applicable DOE standard. This paper provides an overview of the development of the WAC, including waste and waste generator certification requirements, for the RH LLW Disposal Facility. The paper illustrates the importance of maintaining strong ties to the development and revision of the RH LLW Disposal Facility Performance Assessment (PA), Documented Safety Analysis, Facility Procedures, Readiness Reviews, DOE Order, and applicable Technical Standards. The paper also provides an overview of the RH LLW Disposal Facility, WAC generator certification requirements, distinctive challenges to acceptance of legacy waste, and the unique approach the RH LLW Disposal Facility has taken to ensure compliance with PA driven limits.
