The Liquid Waste Program (LWP) managed by Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC) is responsible for the treatment and disposal of waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Radioactive waste at SRS is stored and processed at four key facilities – each with their respective functions to store, blend, grout, or vitrify waste. The tank farm, where waste is stored, consists primarily of legacy waste with new material incoming from the Accelerated Basin De-inventory program (ABD), which is managed by Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS). System planning is done by SRNS and SRMC to optimize ABD and LWP operations, respectively.
