The purpose of this Annual Transuranic Waste Inventory Report – 2016 (ATWIR-2016), using a cutoff date of December 31, 2015, is to document the updated inventory estimate of transuranic (TRU) waste reported by the TRU waste generator sites in the Annual Transuranic Waste Inventory Report – 2015 (ATWIR-2015) (DOE 2015a) that had a cutoff date of December 31, 2014. This updated inventory information is provided to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) and is available to the DOE TRU waste complex, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) stakeholders, and regulators. The TRU waste inventory information is used for strategic planning, and supports DOE/CBFO’s input into documents (e.g., WIPP Documented Safety Analysis and National Environmental Policy Act analyses), the development of new containers or shipping packages, planned change requests, and other design changes that may take place in the repository. Furthermore, if requested by DOE/CBFO, this report will provide the basis for the Performance Assessment Inventory Report for performance assessment (PA) modeling. This report focuses on the TRU waste stored or projected to be generated (up through calendar year [CY] 2050) at the TRU waste generator sites.
