Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of River Protection (ORP) is reassessing overconservatism in the Hanford Site River Protection Project (RPP) tank farms Authorization Basis. Reassessment of overconservatism in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) accident analyses and associated controls is currently underway in the following areas: (a) Major potentially public affecting accident scenarios of historic concern; (b) Additional accident analysis bases and scenarios having broad potential impacts on operations; (c) Identification and elimination of unnecessary overly conservative safety-class and safety-significant structures, systems and components (SSC); and (d) Removal of unnecessary and costly Authorization Basis based constraints on operations.

Authorization basis supporting documentation for plutonium finishing plant

Technical Report

The identification and definition of the authorization basis for the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP) facility and operations are essential for compliance to DOE Order 5480.21, Unreviewed Safety Questions. The authorization basis, as defined in the Order, consists of those aspects of the facility design basis, i.e., the structures, systems and components (SSCS) and the operational requirements that are considered to be important to the safety of operations and are relied upon by DOE to authorize operation of the facility. These facility design features and their function in various accident scenarios are described in WHC-SD-CP-SAR-021, Plutonium Finishing Plant Final Safety Analysismore »« less

The Office of River Protection (DOE-ORP) Past Present and Future

Conference WODRICH, D

The US. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection (ORP) manages the River Protection Project (RPP) at the Hanford Site in Washington State. ORP is responsible fur safe storage, retrieval, treatment, and disposal of the 200,000 cubic meters (53 million gallons) of highly toxic, high-level radioactive waste stored in 177 large underground tanks located within 7 miles of the Columbia River. Most of these tanks are decades beyond their design life and more than one-third have leaked, resulting in an estimated 3800 cubic meters of waste into the soil. For the past decade the major effort was to improve tankmore »« less

Hazard Analysis for In Tank Spray Leaks

Technical Report GRAMS, W

The River Protection Project (RPP) Authorization Basis (AB) contains controls that address spray leaks in tanks. However, there are no hazardous conditions in the Hazards Database that specifically identify in-tank spray leak scenarios. The purpose of this Hazards Evaluation is to develop hazardous conditions related to in-tank spray leaks for the Hazards Database and to provide more complete coverage of Tank Farm facilities. Currently, the in-tank spray leak is part of the ''Spray Leak in Structures or From Waste Transfer Lines'' accidents in Section 3.4.2.9 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) (CHG, 2000a). The accident analysis for the ''Spraymore »« less

Office of River Protection (ORP) Monthly Performance Report for September 2000

Technical Report WAGNILD, K

CH2M Hill Hanford Group, Inc. (CHG) had an outstanding year. The most significant accomplishments that occurred throughout fiscal year (FY) 2000 include the following: On April 24,2000, DOE ORP received BNFL Inc. B-1 deliverables and CHG completed Phase 1 Part B-2 Readiness-to-Proceed (RTP), to demonstrate the ability to provide waste feed to be treated/stored in a long-term disposal facility. The RTP consisted of key enabling assumptions, critical risks, waste handling actions, financial and schedule risk analysis, staffing plans, a project execution plan, and a resource loaded schedule. The Department determined that the BNFL Inc. proposal was unacceptable in many areasmore »« less

HEPA Filter Vulnerability Assessment

Technical Report GUSTAVSON, R

This assessment of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter vulnerability was requested by the USDOE Office of River Protection (ORP) to satisfy a DOE-HQ directive to evaluate the effect of filter degradation on the facility authorization basis assumptions. Within the scope of this assessment are ventilation system HEPA filters that are classified as Safety-Class (SC) or Safety-Significant (SS) components that perform an accident mitigation function. The objective of the assessment is to verify whether HEPA filters that perform a safety function during an accident are likely to perform as intended to limit release of hazardous or radioactive materials, considering factorsmore »« less
