Inspection Reocrt Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Site 300 Inspection date - October 28 and 29, 2003 subject to my inspection. I observed that the 90 -day storage containers were managed with all lids closed and all of them had hazardous waste labels. The labels had all of the required information on them. Mr. Shin and I reviewed the inspection log for this area. For results of documents reviewed see Section IV of this report. I observed no violations in this area. BLDG. 851: I then went on to one of the generator locations, Bldg. 851. We were introduced to Mr. White who is the facility manager for Bldg. 851. Bldg. 851 is one of three firing tables with a SAA. The wastes generated are low level radioactive waste and photographic waste. We were given a briefing on the safety guidelines to follow while in this building. At my request, Mr. White explained that the photographic waste is generated in Room 108, the x-ray dark room, and in Room 116, the photo processing room. Inside Room 108 1 observed a 55 -gallon drum which had a hazardous waste label. The label had all of the required information. The accumulation start date was March 18, 2003. Inside Room 116, the film developing area, I observed a 55 - gallon drum which was closed, and had a hazardous waste label. The label had all the required information. The accumulation start date was October 2, 2003. 1 also observed emergency response, and spill equipment as well as a decon station. I did not test the function of the decon station. Next I observed the permitted open detonation treatment facility identified in the Part B as Bldg. 845-A OD. When we arrived at Bldg. 845-A, the permitted OD unit, we were met by Mr. Adams, Explosives Technician for EWTF. Mr. Adams has responsibilities for treatment operations in this area and for hazardous waste storage. At my request Mr. Adams gave a briefing on hazardous waste management activities and treatment activities. There is one WAA at this location. Mr. Adams took us inside the control room and explained how they use the monitoring equipment. The monitoring equipment consisted of remote cameras and viewing monitors. Mr. Adams explained that during a burn or detonation, the treatment activities may be monitored visually from the control room. He explained that during open burn activities the cameras are set up to allow them to monitor the outside of the burn cage and the burn pan which are located at Bldg. 845-B OB. He explained that ignition of the burn is controlled from the control room. He also explained how they control the ignition of the open detonation, which takes place here at Bldg. 845-A. He added that they have cameras set up to monitor the detonation pad.
