Abstract

Long-term stewardship (LTS) at the Hanford Site begins at the completion of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Environmental Management (EM) cleanup mission and is the management of the risks (human health and environmental) associated with any residual contamination and the management of the Site's cultural, biological, and natural resources that remain after the Site is reduced to its post-cleanup-mission size. This document describes the anticipated post-cleanup LTS program, the preparations planned to facilitate the safe and timely transition from the completion of the cleanup program to a future LTS program, and when LTS is complete. Although the completion of cleanup remains several decades away, actions are being taken now to ensure the following: DOE's commitment to meet its long-term, post-cleanup obligations is reaffirmed and that its planning efforts to comply with those obligations are visible; The interface between the cleanup program and the LTS program will be clearly defined; Cleanup decisions will include careful and well-documented consideration of their long-term ramifications (e.g., long-term effectiveness and costs) and Potential impediments to a safe and timely turnover from cleanup to LTS are anticipated and a risk management approach is developed and implemented.

Unforeseen Events Alter Stewardship Strategies at the Decommissioned BONUS Reactor in Puerto Rico - 19572

Conference Carpenter, Cliff; Miller, Michele; Berrios Santos, Ruperto; ...

The decommissioned Boiling Nuclear Superheater (BONUS) reactor northwest of Rincon, Puerto Rico, was developed as a prototype nuclear power plant to investigate the feasibility of the integral boiling superheating concept. Through a combined effort of the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Puerto Rico Water Resources Authority (PRWRA), the reactor first achieved a controlled nuclear chain reaction in 1964 and remained operational until June 1968. It was the eighth nuclear reactor constructed in the world and one of only two boiling-water superheater reactors ever developed in the United States. Following its decommissioning in 1970, AEC, the predecessor to themore »« less
Long-Term Stewardship Baseline Report and Transition Guidance

Technical Report Kristofferson, Keith

Long-term stewardship consists of those actions necessary to maintain and demonstrate continued protection of human health and the environment after facility cleanup is complete. As the Department of Energy’s (DOE) lead laboratory for environmental management programs, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) administers DOE’s long-term stewardship science and technology efforts. The INEEL provides DOE with technical, and scientific expertise needed to oversee its long-term environmental management obligations complexwide. Long-term stewardship is administered and overseen by the Environmental Management Office of Science and Technology. The INEEL Long-Term Stewardship Program is currently developing the management structures and plans to completemore »« less

Long-Term Stewardship at Hanford - 17023

Conference Moren, Rick

The Hanford Site's Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) Program is responsible for 220 square miles of the Site's River Corridor, which includes 1,527 waste sites, 6 Manhattan Project Era production reactors that have been placed in interim safe storage, and 46 miles of Columbia River shoreline. More than 24,000 cleanup and historic documents have been identified, indexed, and tagged in the LTS records and document libraries. The LTS program, operated by the Mission Support Alliance, LLC (MSA) manages and provides surveillance and maintenance of facilities and institutional controls and all associated monitoring to ensure continued protectiveness of human health and the environment.more »« less
Long-Term Stewardship: Institutional Controls on Department of Energy Sites. Development and Management of Institutional Controls at U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management Sites

Conference Schiesswohl, S; Bahrke, C; Deyo, Y; ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has managed the Long Term Stewardship and Maintenance activities at DOE sites since 1988. DOE's Office of Legacy Management (LM) was established in December 2003, and its specific mission is to manage the DOE's post-closure responsibilities and ensure the future protection of human health and the environment. LM has control and custody for legacy land, structures, and facilities and is responsible for maintaining them at levels suitable for their long-term use. LM uses DOE Policy 454.1: Use of Institutional Controls (ICs) and Associated Guidance. Many major Federal laws, Executive Orders, regulations, and various othermore »« less
Strategic Program Planning Lessons Learned In Developing The Long-Term Stewardship Science and Technology Roadmap

Conference Dixon, B; Hanson, D; Matthern, G

Technology roadmapping is a strategic planning method used by companies to identify and plan the development of technologies necessary for new products. The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management has used this same method to refine requirements and identify knowledge and tools needed for completion of defined missions. This paper describes the process of applying roadmapping to clarify mission requirements and identify enhancing technologies for the Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) of polluted sites after site cleanup has been completed. The nature of some contamination problems is such that full cleanup is not achievable with current technologies and some residualmore »« less
