Amended Record of Decision for Offsite Secondary Waste Treatment and Disposal From the Hanford Site, Washington
This is an amendment to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) 2013 Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final Tank Closure and Waste Management Environmental Impact Statement for the Hanford Site, Richland, Washington (DOE/EIS-0391, December 2012) (TC&WM EIS). In accordance with DOE's implementing procedures for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), DOE prepared a supplement analysis (DOE/EIS-0391-SA-03; SA), which evaluated DOE's proposal to transport and treat certain solid and liquid secondary wastes at licensed and permitted commercial treatment facilities off the Hanford Site. DOE also proposes to potentially dispose of some of these secondary wastes (after treatment) offsite at a licensed and permitted commercial disposal facility. This action would be implemented on an interim basis until such time as an enhanced onsite treatment capability is available for Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) operations (estimated to be approximately 10 years). This amended ROD addresses the differences in the planned management of secondary wastes from that addressed by the 2013 TC&WM EIS ROD document.
Notice of Availability of Final Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Evaluation for Vitrified Low Activity Waste and Secondary Wastes at the Hanford Site, Washington and Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Determination
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of the Final Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Evaluation for Vitrified Low-Activity Waste and Secondary Wastes at the Hanford Site, Washington (Final WIR Evaluation) and associated Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Determination for Vitrified Low-Activity Waste and Secondary Wastes at the Hanford Site, Washington (WIR Determination). The WIR Determination documents DOE's determination that vitrified low-activity waste (VLAW) and secondary wastes generated by, or derived from, such vitrification using the direct feed low-activity waste (DFLAW) approach are wastes that are incidental to the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, are not high-level radioactive waste (HLW), and are to be managed as low-level radioactive waste (LLW), pursuant to DOE Order 435.1, Radioactive Waste Management, and DOE Manual 435.1-1, Radioactive Waste Management Manual. DOE consulted with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and considered comments from States, Tribal Nations, stakeholders and the public before preparing the Final WIR Evaluation and WIR Determination.
