The FSAR Safety Analysis made the following assumptions dealing with the location
and quantity of wooden LLW containers:
No wooden crates (LLW or non-radioactive waste) are permitted in internal
waste container storage areas (not applicable to Building 984);
No more than 50 wooden LLW crates may be stored in the West Dock Canopy
waste container storage area (does not include empty containers); and
[implied assumption] Wooden LLW crates are stored in areas with automatic
sprinkler system coverage (not applicable to Building 984).
Limits on the quantity and location of wooden LLW crates are credited in the
evaluation of postulated facility fire accident scenarios. Some of the requirements
resulting from the evaluation of wooden LLW crates fires are not separable from
combustible material loading requirements due to the combustible load presented by
the wooden crates. For example, it is assumed that the wooden crates will be
compliant with NFPA 231 (Ref. A-6) requirements, in accordance with Fire
Protection Program requirements, dealing with the placement of combustible
materials near facility walls.
In order to assure that wooden LLW crates are within inventory limits in the
BUILDING 991 COMPLEX, a weekly verification of the number of wooden LLW
crates in the BUILDING991 COMPLEX is specified. In addition, a general
verification of the location of wooden LLW crates is specified for identification of
misplaced crates during facility operations and tours. This latter verification is only
expected to observe containers while personnel pass through the facilities or perform
activities in the facilities.
The term “infracted container” will be used in the following discussion to signify
SNM, POC, and waste containers that are non-compliant with this AOL. This AOL
applies to SNM, POC, and waste containers that are to be stored or staged in the
BUILDING 991 COMPLEX.
The FSAR Safety Analysis made the following assumption dealing with TRU waste
containers:
Contain no more than 200 grams (fissile material) in metal drums.
The FSAR Safety Analysis made the following assumption dealing with POC and
waste containers:
Designed and used in a manner to preclude a criticality as long as the containers
remains intact.
