The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of River Protection (ORP) is reassessing overconservatism in the Hanford Site River Protection Project (RPP) tank farms Authorization Basis. Reassessment of overconservatism in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) accident analyses and associated controls is currently underway in the following areas: (a) Major potentially public affecting accident scenarios of historic concern; (b) Additional accident analysis bases and scenarios having broad potential impacts on operations; (c) Identification and elimination of unnecessary overly conservative safety-class and safety-significant structures, systems and components (SSC); and (d) Removal of unnecessary and costly Authorization Basis based constraints on operations.
