Annual Transuranic Waste Inventory Report - 2011(Rev. 0)
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) began accepting defense-related transuranic (TRU) waste on March 26, 1999, becoming the nation’s first deep geologic repository for the permanent disposal of defense-generated TRU waste. TRU waste generation has occurred at both large quantity and small quantity sites (LQSs and SQSs) across the country. Many of these sites have emplaced their waste at WIPP, found other disposition pathways for the waste, or transferred the waste to other sites for further disposition. As of December 31, 2010 (the cutoff date for inventory data for this report), there have been 9,207 shipments (8,761 contact-handled [CH] and 446remote-handled [RH]) of TRU waste to WIPP for emplacement since WIPP’s opening(DOE 2011).This Annual Transuranic Waste Inventory Report – 2011 (ATWIR-2011) (hereafter referred to as “this report” or “ATWIR-2011”) reflects the changes that have occurred and provides an update to the defense-related TRU waste inventory data since the last published report, the Annual Transuranic Waste Inventory Report – 2010 (ATWIR-2010)(DOE 2010a).
