Trichlorophenol concentration labeled on bottle as 0.28 mg/L. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE WASTE A. Process that generated the waste: This mixed low-level waste (MLLW) material may originate from any of the facilities at the Department of Energy – Oak Ridge Reservation (DOE-ORR) including the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) (which is the former the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant), Y-12 National Security Complex, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The waste is generated as a result of residuals from on-site waste treatment operations; RCRA closures; decontamination and demolition (D&D) activities; and routine maintenance and operations, including chemical storage area cleanouts (Rev. 2) (past and current) at these facilities; and is primarily generated as a result of the cleanout of sumps, basins and similar structures. May also contain miscellaneous sample quantities of material identified from the cleanout of laboratories and facilities. B. Waste material physical composition and characteristics: The waste consists of aqueous liquids, sludges, and solid residue (Rev. 1). A small amount of non- aqueous liquid may be present greater than 1% in any single container (Rev. 7). Some of the sludge may contain bio-mass such as decomposed leaves, algae, etc. The sludge may also contain small quantities of debris (wood, metal, concrete). There may be a very small amount of oil (oily sheen) present in some of the containers. Solid residues may include floor sweeping, epoxy coatings, and other solid materials not meeting the definiition of hazardous waste debris (Rev. 1) including granular coal (Rev. 3) The waste materials are radioactively contaminated as a result of direct or residual contact with various uranium isotopes, their daughter products and several other nuclides present on the DOE- ORR. The liquids and sludges will be packaged typically in 55-gal liquid-rated drums, but may also be in 30-gal liquid-rate drums or overpacked into 85-gal drums or 110-gal drums (Rev. 4). Some waste may be small containers shipped in labpacks (Rev. 2) The waste stream is radioactive and hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and as such is classified as MLLW. It is not regulated by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA. There are land disposal restrictions / prohibitions associated with this waste stream. Post waste generation controls include visual verification, periodic sampling (radioisotope, TSCA and RCRA), and installation of tamper indicating devices, inventory control posted / restricted storage areas and periodic inspections of containers and storage areas. Special waste streams, which are not RCRA hazardous but require disposal in the MLLW landfill (e.g., wastes with chelating agents), may be included in this profile (Rev. 5). The waste does not include Transuranic (TRU) radioisotopes in concentration greater than 100 nCi/g of the waste matrix. The waste does not contain sealed radioactive sources. C. Radiological and chemical characterization method: Characterization of the liquids,sludges and solid residues will be performed through a combination of process knowledge, and sampling and analysis. Depending upon the specific waste stream, samples may be taken prior to the waste being containerized or following containerization. Samples will be analyzed for Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) metals, volatile and semi- volatile organics, pesticides, herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and radionuclides, as applicable based upon process knowledge. Sampling performed on each specific sub-waste stream will determine the applicable codes under 40 CFR 261.21 – 261.24 and Underlying Hazadous Constituents (UHCs). Sampling and analysis will also verify that the waste stream does not contain PCBs requiring treatment and disposal under the provisions of 40 CFR 761.60. Identification of data needs, intended data use and the inclusion of quality requirements is addressed through the implementation of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance on the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process to ensure compliance with the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) of the receiving disposal facility. As applicable, EPA-SW846 methods are used for laboratory analysis. Those analyses requiring laboratories with State of Utah certification are sent to such laboratories. MLLW liquids may also be in the form of small containers of waste, such as samples and waste used and un-used products and chemicals (Rev. 2) PCB Statement Analysis of the liquid and sludge will confirm that any concentration of PCBs in the waste is less than 49 ppm; and PCBs, if present, are not from a PCB source 50 ppm or greater. Radiological characterization Radiological characterization will be performed through laboratory analytical analysis from direct sampling of the subpopulation of waste being shipped, based upon historical sampling, or process knowledge (Rev. 2). The radiological characterization performed on the population will be based on the number of random grab samples and composites required to meet EPA guidance. D. Basis for determining manifested radionuclide concentrations During more than forty years of operations on the DOE-ORR, various radioactive wastes have been generated from the diffusion cascade, reactor research, manufacture and assembly of nuclear weapons components, and chemical processing. The principal radionuclides that are commonly recognized are the uranium isotopes (in oxide form) and their daughter products, transuranic (TRU) radionuclides with moderate half-lives: Np-237, Pu-238, and Pu-239. In addition, fission and activation products are common on the DOE-ORR. The presence of these radionuclides is confirmed routinely through characterization efforts at the individual sites. Laboratory analytical data associated with each subpopulation of liquids, sludges, and solid residues will be used to determine manifested radionuclide concentrations. For populations with both liquid and sludge phases, either a mass balance or the higher analytical result will be used for characterization purposes. Characterization of solid residues may include use of radiological surveys and scaling factors based upon process knowledge of radionuclide distribution for the generating facilitiy or associated waste streams with laboratory analytical data (Rev. 1). In addition, Rev. 1 of the profile increases the radionuclide limit for Tc-99. The waste does not include pure forms of the chemicals likely to increase the reactivity of the matrix. E. Description and amounts of absorbents No absorbents will be added to this waste stream, except for the annular space between the inner drum and outter overpack, if the container is overpacked. (Rev. 4). F. Basis of hazardous waste determination Process knowledge and sampling and analysis will verify that the liquids and sludges are RCRA hazardous. “F” Listed Codes Process knowledge will confirm that the waste stream does not meet requirements for “F” listed codes as applicable for wastes shipped under Revisions 0 to 3 of the profile. Rev. 4 of the profile covers 1 drum of F039 listed purge water, which is listed for barium. Rev. 6 of the profile incldues 2 drums of wastewater that are RCRA hazardous for F039 (and D043). “U” Listed Codes Process knowledge will confirm that the waste stream does not meet requirements for “U” listed codes. “K” Listed Codes Process knowledge will confirm that the waste stream does not meet requirements for “K” listed codes. “P” Listed Codes Process knowledge will confirm that the waste stream does not meet requirements for “P” listed codes. Characteristic “D” Codes Process knowledge and sampling and analysis will confirm the characteristic codes applicable under 40 CFR 261.21 – 261.24. The codes applicable to this waste stream are shown in Section D2 of the waste profile. Rev. 1 of this profile adds D005 (Barium), D010 (Selenium) and D011 (Silver). Rev. 2 adds D002 (corrosivity). Revision 3 adds D009 (low mercury subcategory). Rev. 4 adds D009 high mercury inorganic subcategory and radioactive elemental mercury subcategory for a 55-gal drum of aqueous mercury-contaminated liquids. Rev. 6 of the profile incldues 2 drums of wastewater that are RCRA hazardous for D043 (and F039). Revision 7 of the profile adds EPA codes D023, D026, D027, D030, D032, D033, D034, D036, D037, D038, and D042 and UHCs to support a shipment of 1 drum of 10% oil/90% water, where codes and UHCs have been added because the detection limits are higher than the regulatory limits. Underlying Hazardous Constituents UHCs applicable to this waste stream are shown in Section D3 of the waste profile. Rev. 4 adds lead as UHC. Rev. 6 adds multiple UHCs/F039 constituents of concern. Rev. 7 adds multiple UHCs because detection limits for 1 drums of 10% oil/90% water are higher than regulatory limits. G. Waste classification The radioisotope content of each container will be evaluated to ensure that each meets the requirements of 10 CFR 61.55 for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Burial Class A. Activated metals are not present in this waste. Characterization data will show that C-14, Tc-99, I-129, transuranics, Pu-241, and Cm-242, if present, are at concentrations at or below 0.1% of the Table 1 values. For radionuclides in Table 2, activated metal are not present in this waste. Characterization data will show that Ni-63 and radionuclides with half-lives less than 5 years, if present, are at concentrations less than 0.1% of Table 2, Column 1 values. Concentrations of H-3, Co-60, Sr-90, and Cs-137 will be compared against the values of Table 2, Column 1 for each container of waste. This comparison is made through a spreadsheet calculation which is part of the backup information for each shipment. H. Special Nuclear Material The liquids and sludges to be shipped under this waste profile will typically be homogenous. However, some containers may have both liquids and sludges in which case mass balance calculations will be performed to determine total Special Nuclear Material (SNM) present or conservative assumptions will be used in calculations from analytical results to total SNM quantities. The chemical form of uranium will be U3O8, UO2F2 or other non-soluble forms of uranium oxide. Other chemical forms may exist in trace quantities. Depending upon results of characterization for each subpopulation of this waste stream, there will be a range of uranium concentrations and U-235 enrichment. However, most packages contain less than 15 g U-235. Uranium-235 enrichment typically ranges from <0.5% to 20%, with samples containing lower concentrations of uranium typically showing higher enrichment due to more laboratory uncertainty at the low uranium concentrations. Therefore, each package is specifically evaluated to determine which SNM Exemption condition is applicable. The control and tracking of SNM is conducted in accordance with United Cleanup Oak Ridge, LLC (UCOR) (Rev. 6) procedure PROC-SE-1360, Nuclear Materials Transactions, which implements the requirements of DOE Order 474.1A, Control and Accountability of Nuclear Materials. Shipments are released only after a Nuclear Material Transaction Report (DOE/NRC-741) is issued by UCOR. I. Neutron Moderators Beryllium or other highly effective neutron moderators may be present in negligible concentrations.

License conditions 16.B and 16.C address the waste’s potential to be explosive under normal conditions, explosively reactive with water, or capable of generating toxic gases, vapors, or fumes during the waste management process. As transporting, handling and disposal of the waste does not occur under extreme conditions, the waste in question is analyzed assuming normal environmental conditions (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry [IUPAC] standard temperature and pressure) apply. Waste Stream 9720-36 consists of Mixed Low Level Waste (MLLW) liquids, sludges, and solids for stabilization treatment. The oil waste consists of 1 drum of 10% oil, 90% water being added to the waste profile as Revision 7. The waste was sampled and analyzed and found to be characteristically hazardous for several semi-vol contaminates and UHC’s. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for used oil has been reviewed and the following information obtained. Used Oil The auto ignition temperature for used oil is 500 - 800 deg F dependent upon the amount of volatile components present. The flash point is >350 deg F. Although the flash point is high, it should not be transported next to open flame sources, or subjected to excessively hot conditions. Should it ignite and a fire start, dense, irritating smoke may be generated at the fire-site. Some of the combustion products associated with a fire are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxides of sulfur and phosphorous. It will therefore be important to ensure that transport occurs under normal environmental conditions. The SDS for used oil does not state any incompatibilities with water and it is considered stable under standard conditions. 299 South Main Street Suite 1700 ▪ Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 (801) 649-2000 ▪ www.energysolutions.com All waste containers will remain closed during transport and storage and will only be opened for management within controlled environments where incompatible material will not be present. Based on the SDS information described above, this waste stream is not capable of generating toxic gases, vapors or fumes in quantities that are harmful to persons participating in the transporting, handling, or disposing of this waste under standard temperatures and pressure. It is not considered water reactive, nor does it appear unstable or explosive under standard temperature and pressure.
