  5. Saltstone Processing • Processed 3.7M gallons of salt solution total • Processed 1.4M gallons since start of current campaign in March 2007 • Processing Rate – 120K gallons / wk • Vault 2 Under Construction

  6. Salt Waste Processing Facility • 98M Gallons Salt Solution to be processed • Full Construction Authorization (CD-3) • Transition to Radioactive Operation - May 2013

  7. Salt Disposition Integration Project • Prepare initial macrobatch feed for SWPF • Ready to feed SWPF by a rate of: • 3.75M gallons / yr – first year • 6M gallons / yr – normal rate • Ready to process 220K gal/wk from SWPF to Saltstone • Ready to process Strip Effluent and MST Sludge Solids from SWPF to DWPF

  8. HLW Processing Overview • 2696 Canisters Produced (thru March 31) • 2.82 M Gallons transferred from HTF • 97 Canisters – FY 09 (thru March 31) • Processing Sludge Batch 5 thru May 2010 • Melter 2 – Operational Since March 2003 • Melter 3 – Ready as Spare • Melter 4 - Vessel and Frame contract awarded • K3 Refractory – Manufacturing In progress • Components – Under construction • Assembly completion date – November 2013

  9. Issues and Challenges • Tank Closure • Canister Fissile Loading – Processing limitations • 897 g/m3 • Sludge Batch 5 limited to 33 wt % waste loading • Construction and Startup of SWPF • Total Canister Production • Availability of Federal Repository
