Defense High-Level Waste: Quality assurance program descriptions
This document describes the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Defense Waste and Transportation Management (DWTM) Quality Assurance Program for Defense High-Level Waste Processing. This program is being implemented to ensure the acceptability of high-level radioactive canistered waste forms for disposal in a licensed Federal Repository. The unprocessed waste has resulted from national defense programs and is presently being stored in DOE facilities at Savannah River, Hanford, and Idaho. Defense high-level waste at each DOE site will ultimately be processed into a canistered waste form suitable for repository disposal. The production of this waste at each DOE site into acceptable canistered waste forms is the responsibility of DOE. A waste form producer organization will be established at each of the sites currently storing defense waste. Each of these organizations is a composite of DOE organizations and their contractors. The composite waste form producer organization will normally consist of the following major participants: DOE Headquarters; DOE Operations Office; DOE Projects Office (If separate from an operations office); and Operating Contractors. 7 refs.
