operational practices important to the effective management of each of the

waste types, such as waste segregation.

9.4.2

Waste Sources and Characteristics

This section summarizes how and where the waste is generated (i.e., waste

streams) and how it enters the appropriate waste handling or treatment system.

For each waste type (i.e., radioactive, mixed, or hazardous) discuss by

characteristics, composition, and waste material form (i.e., gaseous, liquid, or

solid) the effluent discharges, emission limits, and permitting.

9.4.3

Waste Handling or Treatment Systems

This section summarizes the processes to treat different waste types and forms

produced in the facility. This brief summary should include system function,

and basic chemical or physical operating principles (e.g., sedimentation, ion

exchange, decanting). Also include or reference simplified process flow

diagrams that show the location of equipment and instrumentation (including

monitoring equipment).
