Hanford Site Waste Management Area C Performance Assessment
The Meeting Summaries for Development of the Hanford Site C Tank Farm Performance Assessment cover informal discussions between representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Tribal Nations, State of Oregon, Hanford Advisory Board, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support DOE’s preparation of a new performance assessment (PA) for the Hanford Site C Tank Farm (CTF). These discussions have included the underlying assumptions, input parameters, and modeling approaches to be taken in developing this assessment. These technical discussions are intended to facilitate preparation of a final performance assessment. Once completed, the CTF PA document will undergo review by the NRC, Ecology, and EPA. DOE prepares a summary of each of the informal technical meetings.
DOE O 435.1 requirements and guidance (including DOE G 435.1-1, “Content and Format of a DOE Performance Assessment) will be the primary driver in the development of the CTF PA. Additionally, these tanks will be closed in coordination with Ecology and EPA in accordance with the Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order.
Currently, the Department of Energy-Hanford Site (DOE-ORP) is drafting a PA for their CTF. The CTF PA encompasses the closure of the entire CTF and will not be finalized until late spring? of 201?.
