Office of River Protection 2012 Hanford Site Status Report Jeff Cheadle, ORP ASP 2012 Workshop 17-20 September, 2012 Idaho Falls, Idaho
DOE ORP Mission Statement Our mission is to retrieve and treat Hanford’s tank waste and close the tank farms to protect the Columbia River.
DOE ORP Prime Contractors • Bechtel National, Inc. (BNI) • Advanced Technologies and Laboratories International, Inc. (ATL) • Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS)
BNI Off-Site Commercial Laboratories • BNI utilizes two non-DOECAP laboratories for industrial hygiene analyses • BNI utilizes a laboratory for glass formulation research which is not a DOECAP participant
BNI Off-Site TSDF • BNI does not utilize an off-site TSDF • BNI has contracted WRPS to dispose of hazardous industrial wastes
222-S Analytical Laboratory • ATL provides routine analytical services for day to day tank farms operations (AIHA and WSDOE accredited) • WRPS performs analytical process development and administers 222-S complex operations (AIHA accredited)
Hanford QA Standards • For off-site laboratories, ORP accepts the DOECAP QSAS as the quality assurance requirements • For DOE labs which service the Hanford site (222-S, WSCF, 325-S, future WTP lab), the Hanford Analytical Services Quality Assurance Requirements Documents (HASQARD) is the preferred set of requirements
Varied Analytical Needs • Industrial Hygiene Vapor Analysis • General Process Chemistry • Aluminum Dissolution (gibbsite, garnet) • Separation, Stabilization and/or Treatment of Selected Waste Streams • Tank Corrosion Studies • Analytical Support for Waste Tank Retrieval • Solids Analysis
Issues with Commercial Laboratories • Limited number of vapor analyte services • Few laboratories can accept potentially radioactive vapor samples • Turnaround time • Laboratory stability
WRPS Off-Site Commercial Laboratories • WRPS utilizes four DOECAP laboratories for industrial hygiene or environmental sample analyses • WRPS contracts laboratories which are not DOECAP participants for specialty industrial hygiene and vapor analyses
Qualified DOECAP Laboratory Auditors • WRPS provides three DOECAP laboratory auditors • One WRPS auditor lead qualified
Future DOECAP Laboratory Participation • Provide audit support for laboratories used by ORP contractors • Provide support for revision of the QSAS and checklists
DOECAP Laboratory Points of Contact • Jeff Cheadle, DOE ORP • Glen Clark, WRPS
Non-Radiological TSDF Audits • WRPS utilizes off-site, non-radiological TSDFs for tank farm, 222-S laboratory and contracted WTP hazardous wastes • WRPS has a documented audit program to assess off-site TSDFs
Radiological TSDF • WRPS utilizes Perma-Fix Northwest as an off-site radiological TSDF • WRPS participates in DOECAP audits of Perma-Fix Northwest
Qualified DOECAP TSDF Auditors • WRPS provides one DOECAP TSDF auditors • WRPS provides one DOECAP auditor for TSDF analytical services
DOECAP TSDF Points of Contact • Jeff Cheadle, DOE ORP
