3T10 - LLW Dry Active Wastes
Dry Active Wastes (DAW) comprise the combustible and non-combustible LLW generated through routine and maintenance operations in HPC nuclear island and consist of contaminated personal protection equipment, monitoring swabs, plastic, clothing, contaminated tools, segregated pieces of metal, glassware and other process consumables. These wastes mainly arise during outages.

3T11 - LLW Oils and Solvents
Oils used in the reactor coolant pumps and in the lubrication of various components such as process pumps has the potential to become radiologically contaminated during normal service. Contaminated liquids such as chemical cleaning solutions, used liquid scintillation cocktails from laboratory sampling and solvents used as decontamination agents also arise and will be included within this waste stream where appropriate to do so.

3T12 - LLW Metallic Waste
During maintenance operations a variety of metals wastes can be generated, arising from the replacement of engineering components. The redundant metal components or equipment used during the maintenance operations in the Nuclear Island may become contaminated and require disposal as radioactive waste.
