The Waste Receiving and Processing Facility, Module 1 (WRAP-1) is currently under construction at the Hanford Nuclear Site in south-central Washington State. The facility is scheduled to begin operation in 1996. Designed as a joint venture by Raytheon Engineers and Constructors and British Nuclear Fuels, Ltd (BNFL), its mission is to annually receive more than 6,800 55-gallon drums of both newly generated and retrieved contact-handled solid waste and prepare them for certification and disposal. While 3,800 drums will require only waste acceptance criteria certification using the WRAP-1 NDA/NDE functions, 3,000 drums also will need to be repackaged. The WRAP-1 Facility will use two separate glovebox lines to annually repackage more than 1,500 drums each of transuranic (TRU) and low-level waste (LLW) to meet current disposal guidelines. When complete, WRAP-1 will be the first facility of its kind to perform these tasks on a production scale. Completing this challenging task is made possible by using large-container (drum) bagless transfer technology and state-of-the-art glovebox design.
