Description
Texas Utilities Comanche Peak Station has developed an effective program to reduce hazardous waste generation and reduce the potential to generate mixed low-level waste. A small group task team was chartered to streamline the process for evaluating all chemical and consumable products used at Comanche Peak. By identifying hazardous waste producing chemical and consumable products before they arrive on site, use strategies, disposal information, and other restrictions are developed to reduce the likelihood that a mixed waste will be created. Some hazardous waste producing products are no longer allowed into the radiation controlled areas, thus eliminating the potential for creating a mixed waste from those products. Distinctive labels supply basic usage restrictions to plant workers
