An Operational Readiness Review (ORR) was conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Richland Operations Office (RL) to verify that an adequate state of readiness has been achieved for startup of the K East Basin Sludge Water System (SWS) as applied to the North Loadout Pit (NLOP). The DOE ORR was conducted during the period of May 19-26, 2004. The DOE ORR Team has concluded that the K Basins SWS is ready to start operations, subject to completion and verification of identified pre-start findings. The ORR was conducted in accordance with the Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) K Basin Sludge Water System (SWS) Operational Readiness Review (ORR) Plan of Action, December 19, 2003, and the Implementation Plan for the Operational Readiness Review for Startup of the K Basins Sludge Wafer System North Loadout Pit, DOE/RL-2003-21, Rev. 1. Review activities consisted of staff interviews, procedure and document reviews, observations of normal facility operations and operational drills and actual upset conditions that occurred during the ORR. The DOE ORR Team also reviewed and assessed the adequacy of the contractor ORR and the RL Line Management Review. The ORR Team generally concurs with the findings and observations of these previous assessments. Detailed comments regarding these reviews are documented herein.
