Revision 1
September 199"
In order to restrict non-compliant POC or waste containers that either do not meet the
standard container requirements or have lost integrity from the BUILDING 99 1
COMPLEX, verification of every container brought into the facility for compliance
with the requirement is specified. The compliance verification can occur at time of
receipt or at the container originating facility prior to shipment by examination of
container paperwork and visual examination of container integrity. In addition, a
general verification of container integrity is specified for identification of
non-compliant POC and waste containers during facility operations and tours. Ths
latter verification is only expected to detect gross failures of containers (i.e., large
rust areas, large holes, leakage or spills, bulging, lid loss) and to examine containers
while personnel pass through the waste container storage area or perform activities in
the waste container storage area.
Container segregation means separation of the non-compliant container from other
containers. The separation is expected to be five or more feet, if possible, to prevent
container interaction. If a waste container integrity loss results in an emergency
situation, segregation of the container is subject to the requirements imposed by the
emergency response personnel.
The term "SNM container" will be used in the following discussion to signify
containers that meet Type B shipping container certification (includes meeting the
requirements of procedure 1-W89-HSP-3 1.1 1). This AOL applies to SNM
containers that are to be staged in the BUILDING 991 COMPLEX.
SNM containers are credited in the FSAR Safety Analysis with the followkg
attributes :
Cannot be breached by falls from any heights expected during operation;
Cannot be breached by material handling equipment impacts expected during
operation;
Are unlikely to be breached by structural member impacts;
Cannot be breached by any external flammable gas explosions expected during
operation;
Are extremely unlikely to be breached by forklift tine impacts; and
Cannot be breached by any external fires expected during operation other than
direct torch flame impingement.
