OSTI ID:719161

The DEFENSE WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM has been chartered by the Department of Energy (DOE) to receive, reduce, store, and maintain all radioactive defense waste generated by Hanford and received from offsite DOE contractors in a safe condition and in accordance with DOE and Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) standards. These activities are accomplished through the use of TRU retrievable storage sites, solid waste burial grounds, liquid waste storage tanks, capsule storage pools, and other low-level waste disposal methods. Continuous and/or periodic surveillance is maintained. Through the use of improved packaging methods, evaporator-crystallization and capsule production waste has been and continues to be put in a safe and economic storage condition pending future reprocessing or final disposition. For this Program Plan, the scope of Defense Waste Management programmatic activities has been organized into three general categories. A summary outline of the work covered in each activity is found on the following pages. The Defense Waste Management Program Plan provides the basis for development of detailed planning and performance of the total program scope as well as requirements for long-term planning and budgeting. The plan will be used as a basis for measuring performance by both DOE and WHC. Significant changes to scope, budget, and/or schedules will be processed through the formal Change Management Cycle. Revisions will be incorporated and approvals by DOE and WHC will be dependent on the type of change involved. The Program Plan is based on FY 1988 Hanford financial guidance of $212.5 million.
