Waste Tank Safety, Operations, and Remediation Strategic Plan

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5883467

This document describes the Waste Tank Safety, Operations, and Remediation (WT) Organization strategy for safe operation of the Hanford Site Tank Farms. This document discusses the WT Organization mission and vision for the next 10 yr. This includes the challenges, the strategies to meet them, and a descriptive schedule for achieving these goals. An initial work breakdown structure (WBS) is described which will be the strategy implementation tool during fiscal year (FY) 1992 to accomplish the vision. The WT Organization is responsible for the operating and maintenance of the Hanford Site waste tanks and associated support facilities. The WT mission is: Manage the Hanford Site waste tanks in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner in compliance with codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. Through evaluation, mitigation/remediation, and verification ensure that the contents of Hanford's 177 large underground waste storage tanks are safely stored until they can be disposed. The WT Program was created to operate the Hanford Site Tank Farms and to resolve waste tank safety issues in a timely and cost effective manner. Once the safety issues are resolved and mitigation/remediation actions are implemented, the WT Organization will transition itself into a more traditionally operational-based division.
