OSTI ID:6925893

This standard supersedes ANS-55.2-1976(N199-1976) and ANS-55.3-1976(N197-1976), and establishes minimum design, construction and performance requirements for the liquid radioactive waste processing system for light water reactor plants. It is applicable for routine operation including design basis fuel leakage and other design basis occurrences. Liquid radioactive waste sources are categorized as to type in terms of their physical and chemical characteristics, including high- and low-purity waste, chemical waste and detergent waste. Sections of the standard cover overall system requirements, equipment requirements, controls and instrumentation, physical arrangement, operation and maintenance, and pre-operational testing and cleaning. Requirements of this standard take precedence over those set forth in ANSI/ANS-52.1-1978, ANS-51.1-1973(N18.2-1973) and ANS-51.8-1975(N18.2a-1975). Radioactive materials in liquid effluents must meet requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Section 50.34a, and limits specified in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20 and Part 50, Appendix A. As a special feature, all statements in this standard which are related to nuclear safety are set off in boxes.
