7.5.8 The Contractor shall provide the necessary support to permit NNSY to visually inspect any radioactive waste prior to transfer to NNSY. This inspection will, in some instances, require an open-container inspection of the waste to verify first-hand that no unacceptable materials are included with the radioactive waste and to ensure waste is properly identified and inventoried per work document.

7.5.9 Contractor shall provide new or like new containers and/or drums for packing waste. Containers/drums will not be used as a shipping container; instead, these containers will be packed into Sealands for shipment. NNSY may provide Sealands to the contractor to pack radioactive waste directly into if the Contractor request a Sealand container from NNSY. Shipping containers and conveyances supplied to the NNPP sites shall be either new or refurbished and appear in a like new condition on all interior and exterior sides, including the top and bottom sides. All seals on access panels (i.e., doors and removable tops) shall be new or refurbished to be in a like new condition. Latches, door handles, chains and binders located on or attached to the container shall be in proper working order and be new or in a like new condition. The Sealand will remain under NNSY custody during all work evolutions. The Sealand will be used as a shipping container and must meet the requirements of reference (5.1). The Contractor shall not move, lift, or alter the NNSY provided Sealand container. The Contractor shall return the Sealand to NNSY in the same state as received once packing is complete.

7.5.10 Each container of waste turned over to NNSY shall have a detailed inventory list provided. This inventory shall be a breakdown of the waste in the bag as annotated on the Technical Work Document (TWD) or Waste Evaluation Form. Be specific.

(CDRL A003)

7.5.11 For certain pieces of equipment (i.e. vacuum canisters, chip collectors), the bagging requirements of this section are not applicable. However, an inventory shall still be provided. For heavy or large items where hand packing is not practical, block and brace as necessary.

7.5.12 Information on NNSY radiological waste streams are as follows:

a. Common Consumable Material (CCM): Waste destined for incineration at the Vendor. Common Non-Hazardous Trade Waste.

b. Standard Radioactive Waste (SRW): Radioactive waste stream for non-hazardous materials or recyclable metals.

7.6.5 The Contractor shall provide disposal information via technical work document or completing Waste Evaluation Form and forwarding the form to NNSY Code 2380.6, for review and approval prior to transfer of any mixed and/or PCB/radioactive wastes to NNSY CAA. Specific characterization information on the contents of each waste item must be provided to NNSY to support later treatment and disposal of the mixed and/or PCB/radioactive waste. (CDRL A003)

7.6.6 The Contractor shall provide PCB analysis sheets, chemical analysis sheets, etc. for individual mixed and/or PCB/radioactive waste items to verify characterization of the waste. This characterization data may be based on either appropriate process knowledge or sample analysis. This data (analysis sheets, surveys, etc.) is to be attached to the Appendix A associated with the waste items. Characterization information should be provided prior to the date of generation. (CDRL A003)

7.6.7 The Contractor shall package all mixed and/or PCB/radioactive waste to be transferred to NNSY.

7.6.8 The Contractor shall provide the necessary support to permit NNSY to visually inspect any mixed and/or PCB/radioactive waste prior to transfer to NNSY.

7.6.9.5.3 Mixed Waste for Macroencapsulation Treatment (MW2)

EPA Waste Codes: D004, D005, D006, D007, D008, D009, D010, D011 This waste stream consists primarily of lead, leaded alloys, brass and bronze items, cadmium plated equipment and other debris type waste.

Debris means solid material exceeding a 60mm particle size that is intended for disposal and that is: a manufactured object; or plant animal matter; or natural geologic material.

Radioactive Lead Solids include, but are not limited to, all forms of lead shielding and other elemental forms of lead. There are no size criteria for RLS unlike the 60 mm particle size requirement for hazardous debris. As such, smaller forms of RLS such as lead shot or fines require macroencapsulation prior to disposal.

This waste stream may contain asbestos and/or regulated PCBs that are amenable for direct disposal. No free paint chips is authorized for direct disposal.

7.6.9.5.4 Mixed Waste Containing PCBs (MW3)

EPA Waste Codes: D001, D002, D003, D004, D005, D006, D007, D008, D009, D010, D011, F002, F003 and F005 This waste stream consists primarily of PCB contaminated debris, items, particulates, and sediments that may contain asbestos. This waste stream shall contain greater than or equal to 50 ppm PCBs.

7.6.9.5.5 Process knowledge and/or a representative sample analysis of the waste streams identified above shall be based on the minimum sample analyses as identified below. Any sample analysis performed shall meet the requirements of EPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (SW-846) and analyzed for the following constituents per the stated (SW-846) test method. The number of samples for each analysis shall be determined by a contracted organization sampling analysis plan.
