The WTP is a one-of-a-kind nuclear waste treatment facility being designed and constructed for the DOE by Bechtel National, Inc. (BNI) and principal subcontractor URS-AECOM, to process and vitrify radioactive waste stored in underground tanks at the Hanford Site. The Tank Operations Contractor (TOC), Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), has the responsibility to retrieve, stage, pretreat, and deliver the pretreated feed directly to the WTP Low-Activity Waste Vitrification Facility, scope referred to as Direct Feed Low Activity Waste (DFLAW). Extensive planning is in progress under the auspices of One System, an effort with joint participation by WTP and TOC personnel. To support an integrated approach to readiness for the DFLAW Program, an Integrated Operational Readiness Committee (IORC) was established to contribute to a safe and effective operational readiness of the WTP. The IORC, an advisory committee, comprising representatives from BNI, WRPS, and the Hanford interfacing partners for WTP operations, Mission Support Alliance (MSA) and CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC). In addition, an Operational Readiness (OR) workshop was conducted with several objectives accomplished to support an integrated approach to readiness with specific focus on the management of interfaces between the various contractors and facilities. This culminated in the development of a readiness strategy document called the Operational Readiness Support Plan (ORSP). This ORSP describes the joint approach to WTP startup operating in the DFLAW configuration. (authors)
