This Single-Shell Tank Systems Technical Support Program Plan (TSPP) provides documentation of the required technology, resources, equipment, program funding, and plans for closure of the six single-shell tank (SST) operable units (OU). The SST OUs comprise treatment, storage, and disposal units (wastes, tanks, and soil contaminated by leaks) and past practice units (ancillary units and soil contaminated by spills). A systems engineering approach is being used as a management tool to assist in reaching a final disposal decision for the SST OUs. The systems approach is a structured process to define and solve a problem. It is useful for large programs that involve multiple scientific and engineering disciplines and span long time periods. The systems approach ensures that development activities are conducted in an integrated, efficient, thorough, logical, defensible, auditable, and verifiable manner. It will allow the US Department of Energy to meet Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order milestones and develop the technology required for the supplemental environmental impact statement for SST waste. 19 refs., 41 figs., 46 tabs.
