principal design criteria and their relationship to the performance objectives.
(d) Include a description of the
design basis natural events or phenomena and their relationship to the
principal design criteria.
(e)
Include a description of codes and standards that the applicant has applied to
the design, and will apply to construction of the land disposal facilities.
(f) Include a description of the
construction and operation of the land disposal facility. The description shall
include as a minimum the methods of construction of disposal units; waste
emplacement; the procedures for and areas of waste segregation; types of
intruder barriers; onsite traffic and drainage systems; survey control program;
methods and areas of waste storage; and methods to control surface water and
groundwater access to the wastes. The description shall also include a
description of the methods to be employed in the handling and disposal of
wastes containing chelating agents or other nonradiological substances that might affect meeting
the performance objectives of rule
3701:1-54-08
of the Administrative Code.
(g)
Include a description of the disposal site closure plan, including those design
features which are intended to facilitate disposal site closure and to
eliminate the need for ongoing active maintenance.
(h) Include an identification of the known
natural resources at the disposal site, the exploitation of which could result
in inadvertent intrusion into the wastes after removal of active institutional
control.
(i) Include a description
of the kind, amount, classification and specifications of the radioactive
material proposed to be received, possessed, and disposed of at the land
disposal facility.
(j) Submit a
quality assurance program meeting the requirements in rule
3701:1-54-04 of
the Administrative Code. Include a description of the quality assurance program
for the determination of natural disposal site characteristics and for quality
assurance during the design, construction, operation, and closure of the land
disposal facility and the receipt, handling, and emplacement of waste. Audits
and managerial controls must be included.
(k) Include a description of the radiation
safety program for control and monitoring of (i) radioactive effluents to
ensure compliance with the performance objectives in paragraph (B)(1) of rule
3701:1-54-08
of the Administrative Code,(ii) occupational radiation exposures to ensure
compliance with the requirements of Chapter 3701:1-38 of the Administrative
Code, and (iii) contamination of personnel, vehicles, equipment, buildings, and
the disposal site. Both routine operations and accidents shall be addressed.
The program description must include procedures, instrumentation, facilities,
and equipment.
(l) Include a
description of the environmental monitoring program to provide data to evaluate
potential health and environmental impacts and the plan for taking corrective
measures if migration is indicated.
(m) Include a description of the
administrative procedures that the applicant will apply to control activities
at the land disposal facility.
(n)
Include a description of the facility's record keeping system as required in
rule
3701:1-54-12
of the Administrative Code.
(o)
Include a description of the security and safeguards for radioactive material
as required in paragraph (B)(5) of rule
3701:1-54-08
of the Administrative Code.
(3) The specific technical information shall
also include the following analyses needed to demonstrate that the performance
objectives of rule
3701:1-54-08
of the Administrative Code will be met.
(a)
Pathways analyzed in demonstrating protection of the general population from
releases of radioactivity shall include air, soil, groundwater, surface water,
plant uptake, and exhumation by burrowing animals. The analyses shall clearly
identify and differentiate between the roles performed by the natural disposal
site characteristics and design features in isolating and segregating the
wastes. The analyses shall clearly demonstrate that there is reasonable
assurance that the exposures to humans from the release of radioactivity will
not exceed the limits set forth in paragraph (B)(1) of rule
3701:1-54-08
of the Administrative Code.
(b)
Analyses of the protection of individuals from inadvertent intrusion shall
include demonstration that there is reasonable assurance the waste
classification and segregation requirements will be met and that adequate
barriers to inadvertent intrusion will be provided.
(c) Analyses of the protection of individuals
during operations shall include assessments of expected exposures due to
routine operations and likely accidents during handling, storage, and disposal
of waste. The analyses shall provide reasonable assurance that exposures will
be controlled to meet the requirements of Chapter 3701:1-38 of the
Administrative Code.
(d) Analyses
of the long-term stability of the disposal site and the need for ongoing active
maintenance after closure shall be based upon analyses of active natural
processes such as erosion, mass wasting, slope failure, settlement of wastes
and backfill, infiltration through covers over disposal areas and adjacent
soils, and surface drainage of the disposal site. The analyses shall provide
reasonable assurance that there will not be a need for ongoing active
maintenance of the disposal site following closure.
(4) The financial information shall be
sufficient to demonstrate that the financial qualifications of the applicant
are adequate to carry out the activities for which the license is sought and
meet other financial assurance requirements of rule
3701:1-54-11
