Furthermore, t h e r e was no v i o l a t i o n o f t h e RWP which al lowed lOOmR whole body dose.

    OPERABILITY TEST PROCEDURE FOR THE

    K EAST BASIN CANISTER CLEANING SYSTEM

    1.0 INTRODUCTION

    1.1 BACKGROUND

    The operability testing shall demonstrate the capability of the High Pressure Water Jet System (HPWJS) to. reduce contamination levels and dose rate on empty fuel canisters prior to removal from the basin and subsequent packaging for disposal.

    The HPWJS and the Clean, Remove and Package Empty Canisters Operating Procedures (CC) will be utilized in support of the step-by-step instructions for functionally testing the performance of the specified equipmentlsystem. Facility modifications were completed via the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process for Electrical Services, I X M Discharge Header, and Grating/Handrail to support and provide a workstation for installation of HPWJS skid and canister cleaning equipment.

    The full fuel storage canisters located under the workstation have been moved and relocated to a new area in the basin to provide room for the underwater work table. The basin floor area under the workstation has been vacuumed to remove sludge. The CC equipment has been installed at the workstation located in the center bay of the basin. installed in the rail/truck bay.

    The OTP is normally performed in the order written. (successful or not) of each major section must be signed by the Test Engineer and a test log (Appendix E) entry must be made. Director, some procedure sections may be performed out of order.

    At the discretion of the Test

    Test procedure administrative or editorial changes required during testing may be accommodated as exceptions in the released test report if the changes cannot affect operating facility safety, function or performance and will not compromise test data (WHC-CM-6-1, EP-4.2 Section 2.5).

    4 . 1 TEST DISCREPANCIES

    Test steps that fail t o meet the testing criteria are dispositioned per the instructions listed below,

    Test instructions may be changed using the test discrepancy method or by using the ECN method. preferred due to the ease of implementing the change in the field. It should be noted that the field copy of the OTP (including all discrepancy reports) will be released as an Operational Test Report (DTR); therefore, issuance of an ECN against the original OTP would duplicate the effort involved in releasing the OTR.

    5.2 SYSTEM CRITERIA

    The cleaning fixture and/or water pressure may require adjustment if acceptance is not reached during the first test. Tests may be performed as many times as necessary to reach the expected results. The following items shall be demonstrated successfully for acceptance of this OTP:

    * Clean the surface of at least ten (10) canisters below Category 111, Low Level Waste by reducing the dose rate to less than 100 mrem/hr at contact out of water and less than 20 mrem/hr at one meter.

    Demonstrate a controlled process for the cleaning/decontamination of canisters underwater with minimal water surface disturbance thereby maintaining air quality within the basin limits.

    maintaining a minimum of 12,000 psi at the HPWJS skid during the process.

    Perform the step-by-step operating procedures to accomplish OTP demonstrating the effective combinations of fixture nozzles and associated removal equipment.

    5 . 5 . 6 Position and manipulate the water jet fixture through one full cleaning cycle for both inside and outside of canister using the

    Clean, Remove and Package Empty Canisters Procedure (OP 07-103) completing step-by-step. In addition, the following details were added to procedure steps:

    5'. 5 . 6 . 1 The pre-cleaning survey performed in Section 4 . 2 of OP-07-103, shall be recorded in Appendix A. Similarly, the post cleaning survey in step 14 o f Section 4.3 shall be recorded in Appendix A.

    NOTE: Before removing the canister from the water, the dose rate should be less than 100 mrem/hr at contact. If not, reclean until 400 mrem/hr at contact and record number after each cleaning on data sheet. If after several cleanings the dose rate is still >lo0 mremlhr, contact the P I C before transferring canister to the designated storage area. The PIC will record dose rates and maintain an inventory of the rejected canisters.
