Non-Radiological TSDF Audits WRPS utilizes one off-site, non-radiological TSDF vendor for tank farm, 222-S laboratory and contracted WTP hazardous wastes WRPS has conducted its own audit of this vendor The vendor sends waste to several different facilities Some of these facilities are audited by DOECAP WRPS utilizes one off-site, non-radiological TSDF vendor for tank farm, 222-S laboratory and contracted WTP hazardous wastes WRPS has conducted its own audit of this vendor The vendor sends waste to several different facilities Some of these facilities are audited by DOECAP
27
Radiological TSDF WRPS utilizes one off-site radiological TSDF vendor with four different facilities All four facilities are audited by DOECAP WRPS participates annually in the DOECAP audit of the local facility in Washington state WRPS utilizes one off-site radiological TSDF vendor with four different facilities All four facilities are audited by DOECAP WRPS participates annually in the DOECAP audit of the local facility in Washington state
