The Nuclear Regulatory Commission published Revision 1 of the Branch Technical Position (BTP) on 'Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation' (BTP 2015.) PRI developed an Implementation Guide for applying BTP 2015 to nuclear power plant specific waste streams. This Implementation Guide has been vetted and supported by an EPRI organized working group consisting of industry participants (including utilities subject matter experts, disposal sites, NRC and Agreement State representatives and industry experts) will ensure compliant and consistent application during waste generation, packaging, processing and disposal activities. The Implementation Guide provides for a comparison to previous BTP guidance and provides clarification and common understanding of the key concepts contained within the revised BTP. These include averaging constraints, hot spots, waste streams, waste types, discrete items, blending, solidification, encapsulation and alternative approaches. EPRI published the Implementation Guidance for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Branch Technical Position on 'Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation, Revision 1' (EPRI Report 3002008189) in the September 2016 and it was made available to the public.
