Title: Implementation plan for Hanford site compliance to DOE Order 5820. 2, radioactive waste management

Abstract

The US Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order 5820.2, Radioactive Waste Management, on February 6, 1984. The order required that, within 6 months of the date of issuance, the Heads of Field Organizations prepare and submit an implementation plan containing schedules and costs for compliance with the requirements in the order. Thereafter, the status of compliance was to be reported in the annual waste management plan. The first Implementation Plan for Hanford Site Compliance to DOE Order 5820.2, Radioactive Waste Management, was issued in 1984. This document was of sufficient size that the updates in 1985, 1986, and this 1987 edition were issued as companion documents to the annual Hanford Waste Management Plan (HWMP). The development of this implementation plan required a point-by-point review of DOE Order 5820.2 from two perspectives: the compliance status of current waste treatment, storage, and handling practices relative to the requirements of the order, and impacts of compliance with the order on proposed activities and planning for future waste disposal operations. Each of the specific requirements of DOE Order 5820.2 is analyzed in this plan from these perspectives. The two primary contractors having waste management responsibilities at Hanford Site have stated their intention to implementmore » the requirements for current compliance and, where possible, have identified the incremental impacts of the order on present plans for final disposal. 38 refs.« less
