The DOE Standard, Stabilization, Packaging, and Storage of Plutonium-Bearing Materials, DOE-STD-3013-1994 — i.e., the 3013 Standard — was issued in December 1994, by the DOE weapons complex for the stabilization, packaging and safe storage of excess plutonium-bearing metal and oxides. Based on the 3013 Standard, the BNFL container was designed and developed to remove excess plutonium material from the Hanford and Rocky Flats Sites. The BNFL 3013 containers were put into certified transportation packages and sent to the Savannah River Site for storage and later disposition.
