The KE/KW Fuel Encapsulation Task is one of two tasks comprising the KE/KW Operations Standardization and Water System Upgrades Program defined in the program plan. The purpose of this plan is to define the subject task and state how it will be managed. The plan includes: a definition of the tasks objectives and scope; a review of the task background; a description of the activities required to accomplish the task objectives; a description of the organization, projected cost and schedule, controls, reporting and records required to accomplish the task; a discussion of the potential risks associated with performing the task; and identification of the quality assurance, environmental and safety controls to be applied to the task. The task will consist of two phases. Phase I includes the performance of several tasks required to be completed prior to the start of the fuel encapsulation, including: general KE basin upgrades; design, procurement, fabrication, installation and verification of the KE/KW encapsulation assemblies; start of the procurement of additional canisters; preparation of the KE/KW facilities' hazardous classification letter (HCL), criticality safety evaluation report (CSER), safety analysis report (SAR), operational safety requirements (OSR) and environmental documentation; preparing/revising Process Standards documentation as needed; decontamination of the KE basin; preparation of ALARA plans; performance of SAR and OSR reviews by the Safety and Environmental Advisory Council (SEAC); and performance of start-up reviews by the Readiness Review Board (RRB). Phase II includes encapsulation of the fuel stored in 3659 open canisters in the KE basin, re-encapsulation of the fuel stored in 1806 MK I canisters in the KW basin, and preparation of the open and MK I canisters for disposal.
