This document outlines the Maintenance Implementation Plan (MIP) for the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP) located on the Hanford Site at Richland, Washington. This MIP addresses the maintenance program at PFP as it relates to US Department of Energy (DOE) DOE Order 4330.4A (DOE 1990a). In addition to contrasting the PFP Maintenance program to the DOE order, the MIP lays out the key actions to be undertaken to mare closely meet the requirements of the order in an effort to develop a more cost-effective and efficient maintenance program.The PFP operates to purify plutonium from scrap metal and nitrate solutions. The PFP Maintenance strategy is to provide the facility with systems and equipment that will be able to sustain the scheduled operation of the PRF section of the PFP. This operating run is scheduled to last two years. Activities following the stabilization operation will involve completing an environmental impact statement (EIS) to detemine future plant activities. This strategy also includes long term maintenance of the facility for safe occupancy and material storage. The major improvement activities identified in this MIP are in the areas of organization and administration, personnel training and qualification, and maintenance procedures. Other key focuses will be in the measuring and test equipment (M TE) area, planning and scheduling, and in management involvement.
