Collaboration in Long-Term Stewardship at DOE’s Hanford Site - • Abstract # 13019 • *Rick Moren, PG, *David Brown, **Ella Fiest, ***Keith Grindstaff, PMP, • ***Jamie Zeisloft • *Mission Support Alliance, LLC, Richland, WA • **Washington Closure Hanford, LLC, Richland WA • ***US Department of Energy, Richland Operations, Richland WA February 24 – February 28, 2013 ♦ Phoenix, Arizona Session #110
Background/History • Hanford Site • 1943-1987 Pu Production • 1989 Placed on NPL • 1998 Initial discussions of LTS • 2010 DOE/RL LTS Program • 2011 First land to LTS • 2013 First reactor to LTS
LTS Today • 3 DOE Programs • 3 Contractors • 3 Periods of Performance • 3 Incentives
Contractors • Mission Support Alliance (MSA) LLC (Services) • Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) (River Corridor Closure) • CH2MHill Plateau Remediation Company (PRC) (Central Plateau Cleanup)
Collaboration Elements • Integrated Project Team • DOE SMEs Technical and Contracts • Contractor SMEs • Meet Bi-weekly • Bias toward action – personal accountability • Builds relationships and working trust • Issues solved at lowest appropriate level • Collaborative innovation • Risk management
Collaboration • Transition package prepared by all three contractors • Differing performance incentives/contract • Change from one transition to 14 transitions w/o significant REA • Allowed more efficient transition • New discovery process tested in first transition
Transition Schedule YEAR # 2011 1 2012 2 2013 2 2014 4 2015 5 14 • Schedule is accelerating into 2015 • New ideas to speed the process • ISS reactor transition • Combine parcels
LTS Progress 3 transitions 98 mi2to date 1 cocooned reactor in 2013 >149 Waste Sites Institutional Controls Vegetation Monitoring Remedy Assessments
ISS Reactor Transition • Transition 5 cocooned reactors in 2013 • 2 years early • Reschedule S&M activities • cost savings and efficiency 105-DR, 105-D 2015 105-C 2014 105-H 2015 105-N 2015
Benefits of Collaboration • High performing team • Multiple transitions promotes efficient closeout for WCH and DOE • Closure documentation on a manageable scale • MSA directly supports cleanup mission and RL site vision
Conclusions • Collaboration is essential for effective progress • Transparency and open communication drive collaboration • Strong team relationships and individual accountability result in long term progress • Strong DOE leadership
