  1. Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant Project Presented at the National Spent Nuclear Fuel Program District of Columbia 15 April 2009 Albert A. Kruger

  2. Las Vegas

  3. Outline • Background • Waste Generation at Hanford • Waste Storage & Feed Delivery • Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) Project • Update • Next Steps

  4. Generation of Hanford Tank Wastes Tank Farms (1944 - present) 9 Reactors; 4 Fuel Reprocessing Flowsheets; 100,000 MT Fuel Processed

  5. Hanford’s B Reactor, as it stood in 1945

  6. Hanford Tank Waste Cleanup Challenge Total Number of Gallons in Waste Tanks at DOE Sites: Idaho 1.4 Million (1.6%) Hanford has: • 63% of DOE tanks; 80% of DOE single-shell tanks • 58% of DOE total tank waste • ~194 million curies of radioactivity • ~190,000 tons of chemicals Hanford 53 Million (58%) Savannah River 36.5 Million (40%) Oak Ridge 0.4 Million (0.4%)

  7. Waste Treatment Plant (WTP) The world’s largest radioactive waste treatment plant Major Facilities • Pretreatment (PT) Facility • Low Activity Waste (LAW) Vitrification Facility • High Level Waste (HLW) Vitrification Facility • Analytical Laboratory • Balance of Facilities HLW Facility Commodities Concrete 88,000 CY Structural Steel 9,600 Ton Pipe 160,000 ft HVAC 571 Ton Cable Tray 45 miles Cable 293 miles

  8. SUPERNATANT SLUDGE WTP Flow Sheet – Key Process Flows LAW Vitrification (90+% of waste mass) Maximize Mass Pretreatment (solid/liquid separation – Cs, Sr, TRU removal) HLW Vitrification (90+% of waste activity) Maximize Activity Hanford Tank Waste

  9. How is the Vitrified Waste Dispositioned? • High Level Waste Canisters • 4.5 x 0.61 m (2’ x 14.77’) • 6,600 pounds of glass • 480 canisters to be produced/year • Storage at Hanford until a final disposal baseline is identified • Low Activity Waste Containers • 4’ x 7.5’ • 13,000 pounds of glass • 1,300 containers to be produced/year • Disposed on Hanford Site

  17. Road Map to Support Acceptance of WTP IHLW Product

  18. Plan for Quality Assurance Surveillances of DOE/ORP and BNI HLW Programs • Phase 1(8-11 September 2008) • Address and support elements of the compliance based audit to take place in Phase 3 • Conclusion: Phase 2 of the qualification process for the BNI program is to be initiated based on the results of Phase 1 surveillances which demonstrated that BNI has established an acceptable HLW QA program. (“The surveillance team determined that there was tremendous progress in developing technical compliance documentation since the assessments conducted in early 2007 by ORP and HQ.”) • Phase 2 • Document review and RW acceptance of the initial QARD Requirements Matrix and implementing procedures in conjunction with a technical review and RW concurrence of the HLW technical baseline documents. • Phase 3 • Initial compliance-based audit of the ORP and BNI QA programs to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of their QAPs implementation for QARD compliance…
