ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of the Draft Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Evaluation for the Test Bed Initiative Demonstration, U.S. Department of Energy (Draft WIR Evaluation). The Draft WIR Evaluation concerns DOE’s proposed Test Bed Initiative (TBI) Demonstration. Under the proposed TBI Demonstration, approximately 2,000 gallons of waste from tank SY–101 at the Hanford Site in Washington will be pretreated to remove most key radionuclides, then solidified (grouted) offsite and subsequently disposed of at a licensed and permitted disposal facility outside of the State of Washington. The Draft WIR Evaluation demonstrates that the pretreated and solidified waste will be incidental to reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, will not be high-level radioactive waste (HLW), and may be managed as low-level radioactive waste (LLW). DOE prepared the Draft WIR Evaluation pursuant to DOE Order 435.1, Radioactive Waste Management, and DOE Manual 435.1–1, chg 3, Radioactive Waste Management Manual. DOE is consulting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) concerning the Draft WIR Evaluation. DOE is also making the Draft WIR Evaluation available for comments from States, Tribal Nations, stakeholders and the public. After consultation with NRC, carefully considering comments SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 received, and performing any necessary revisions of analyses and technical documents, DOE plans to prepare a final WIR Evaluation. Based on the final WIR Evaluation, DOE may determine, in a future WIR Determination, whether the pretreated and solidified waste is incidental to reprocessing, is non-HLW, and may be managed as LLW. DATES: DOE invites comments on the Draft WIR Evaluation during a 90-day comment period beginning November 5, 2021 and ending on February 2, 2022. DOE will consider all comments received by February 2, 2022. A public meeting on the Draft WIR Evaluation will be held on November 18, 2021. Before the meeting, DOE will issue stakeholder and media notifications and publish an additional notice in the local newspaper providing the date, time, and information concerning the public meeting. Information on the public meeting date will be available before the meeting at the website listed in https:// www.hanford.gov/pageAction.cfm/ calendar. The Draft WIR Evaluation is available on the internet at https:// www.hanford.gov/page.cfm/ ReprocessingEvaluationforBedInitiative. Written comments should be submitted to: Ms. Jennifer Colborn, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection, 2440 Stevens Drive, Richland, WA 99354. Alternatively, comments may also be filed electronically by email to: TBIWIR@ rl.gov. ADDRESSES: For further information about this Draft WIR Evaluation, please contact Mr. Richard Valle by mail at U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection, 2440 Stevens Drive, Richland, WA 99354, by phone at (509) 376–7256, or by email at richard_j_valle@orp.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE currently stores radioactive waste in underground tanks at the Hanford Site in the State of Washington. The waste is managed as HLW generated, in part, by the prior reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel for defense-related activities during the Manhattan Project and Cold War eras. Hanford’s current mission focuses on the cleanup and remediation of those wastes and ultimate closure of the site. As part of that mission, DOE is retrieving waste from the Hanford tanks, separating the low-activity waste (LAW) from other waste in the Hanford tanks and vitrifying (immobilizing in a glass matrix) some of the LAW. DOE has not selected a supplemental treatment method for the remaining LAW in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E:\FR\FM\05NON1.SGM 05NON1
