4.1.1 Program Documents (continued)
Waste generator implementing procedures have been issued to provide waste generators
with specific instructions to meet the receiving organization's WAC. These procedures describe,
for example, when and how PK can be used to characterize a waste. They describe the methods
by which generators would properly characterize, segregate, package, and label waste. These
procedures can be accessed on the web at the UT-Battelle WCP Home Page.
" HAZ/MIXED (ORNL-WC-005)
" SLLW (ORNL-WC-006)
" TRU (ORNL-WC-007)
The following guidance documents have been issued to support generators in meeting
characterization requirements and are available on the UT-Battelle WCP Home Page.
Radiological Characterization Plan for Solid Low-Level Waste (ORNL-WC-507)
Guidance on No-Radioactivity-Added Characterization for Hazardous and PCB Waste at
ORNL (WM-SWO-407).
4.1.2 Generator Support Function
The generator support element of the WCP consists of three principal groups:
1) generator interface, 2) waste acceptance and 3) waste handling that provide generator
support (and WCP verification functions), waste data verification, and waste package
field verification.
The generator support element of the WCP provides expert waste management support to
UT-Battelle divisions. This support is provided by a core team consisting of waste management
experts assigned to generator locations. The team members are either LWS generator interface
(GI) staff or assigned divisional staff [referred to as GI equivalents (GIEs)]. Roles and
responsibilities of the GI/GIE are to provide assistance to the waste generators with waste
categorization, characterization, packaging, and request for disposal (RFD) preparation. Waste
types include radioactive, hazardous, mixed, and TSCA (PCB). Sanitary/Industrial waste and
recyclables do not require GI/GIE involvement, but may be included in work scope as requested
by divisions. GI/GIE personnel review the waste data package, perform random verifications of
contents prior to closure, and verify that the waste has been properly characterized, packaged,
and accurately documented, by signing the RFD form. The signature of a GI/GIE is required on
every RFD confirming that the waste meets the applicable WAC. GI/GIE support is required for
preparation of all waste packages. By utilizing a core team (GI/GIE) of waste management
experts, regulatory requirements for accurately characterizing and packaging waste are
efficiently satisfied.-7-
