Hanford solid- waste handling facility strategy At least one batching scheme is shown for each of the criteria listed above.« less These criteria were applied to the waste drums currently stored in Trench 4C-04.
The batching criteria identified in this document include the following: waste generator type of process used to generate or package the waste physical waste form content of hazardous/dangerous chemicals in the waste radiochemical type and quantity of waste drum weight and special waste types. The criteria selected for batching the drums of retrieved waste entering WRAP Module 1 are based on the available records for the wastes sent to storage as well as knowledge of the processes that generated these wastes. The reasons for batching wastes for processing in WRAP Module 1 include reducing the exposure of workers and the environment to hazardous material and ionizing radiation maximizing the efficiency of the retrieval, processing, and disposal processes by reducing costs, time, and space throughout the process reducing analytical sampling and analysis and reducing the amount of cleanup and decontamination between process runs. These criteria are then used to generate a batch plan for Phase 1 Retrieval operations, which will retrieve the waste located in Trench 4C-04 of the 200more » West Area burial ground. The purpose of this document is to identify the criteria that can be used to batch suspect TRU waste, currently in retrievable storage, for processing through the WRAP Module 1 facility. Contents of this report are: Generating electric power facts about exposure to radiation handling storage, and transportation techniques description of a proposed monitored retrievable storage facility and benefits to be received by host jurisdiction.īatching alternatives for Phase I retrieval wastes to be processed in WRAP Module 1ĭuring the next two decades, the transuranic (TRU) waste now stored in the 200 Area burial trenches and storage buildings is to be retrieved, processed in the Waste Receiving and Processing (WRAP) Module 1 facility, and shipped to a final disposal facility. The purpose of phase one of this study are: To understand the waste management system and a monitored retrievable storage facility and to determine whether the applicant has real interest in pursuing the feasibility assessment process. Feasibility study: Assess the feasibility of siting a monitored retrievable storage facility.
