Nelson, J L

The objective of this plan is to identify the basic steps, activities, interactions, milestones, proposed schedule, and cost estimates needed to ensure that the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP) defense high-level waste glass product will be acceptable for disposal in the candidate geologic repository. This plan covers activities required for the qualification of vitrified Neutralized Current Acid Waste (NCAW) and provides a schedule of activities leading up to the vitrification of Complexed Concentrate (CC) and Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP) wastes. Future revisions of the Waste Form Qualification (WFQ) Plan will address other Hanford Site wastes expected to be vitrified at the HWVP. The scope of the plan encompasses interaction with the following sites: the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) at Savannah River, South Carolina and the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) at West Valley, New York; and the candidate repository site in Nevada. Precedents set by the WFQ activities at the DWPF have been considered in the development of this plan. Future revisions to this plan will reflect the determination of common HWVP and DWPF activities as technical exchanges between HWVP and DWPF continue. For activities already identified as common between the DWPF and HWP, this qualification plan utilizes information directly from the DWPF Waste Form Compliance Plan (WCP), as mandated by the HWVP technology development charter. 12 refs., 2 figs., 6 tabs.
