PREVIOUS YEAR’S GATEWAY: Describe
previous year’s gateway (if applicable) that must be completed
before fee can be paid under this performance measure. The
requirements listed below are the gateway only requirements for this
Performance Measure. (N/A in FY 2000)
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: In order to earn
incentive fee under this Performance Incentive, the Contractor shall:
| 1. |
Meet the specific
completion criteria and expectations set forth in this Performance
Incentive; and
|
| 2. |
Not incur any
unfavorable cost variance [(BCWP-ACWP)/BCWP] greater than 5.0
percent, or incur any unfavorable schedule variance
[(BCWP-BCWS)/BCWS] greater than 7.5 percent, measured at the Project
Baseline Summary level at the end of FY 2000. |
DEFINE COMPLETION: (Specify
Performance Elements and describe indicators of success
(quality/progress). Include baseline documentation/data against which
completion documentation should be compared).
The plutonium materials stabilization is considered
complete when:
| |
1.a. |
Plutonium oxides are considered stabilized when
they have met the DOE-STD-3013 stabilization criteria (thermally
stabilized at 950 degrees C for two hours, have a measured LOI of
less than 0.5%), and are packaged and placed in vault storage.
Plutonium metal is considered stabilized when
it has been brushed to remove surface oxide and has been packaged
in a BTS container and placed in vault storage. The brushed oxide
must be treated as described above except for the one item
required to meet the stretch performance measure 1.d. For the
special case in which plutonium metal must be stabilized in
accordance with the criteria established by the enhanced metal
surveillance plan, prior to the availability of the BTS, that
Plutonium metal may be stabilized via oxidation and the oxide
created stabilized in accordance with the paragraph immediately
preceding.
Polycubes are considered stabilized when they
have been treated to eliminate the organic constituents, the
residue of that process has been thermally stabilized to meet the
DOE-STD-3013 stabilization criteria (950 degrees C for two hours,
an LOI of less than 0.5% has been measured), and the stabilized
material is packaged and placed in vault storage. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.b. |
Plutonium solution is considered stabilized
when the plutonium has been separated from the solution, the
plutonium residue has been thermally stabilized to meet the
DOE-STD-3013 stabilization criteria (950 degrees C for two hours,
an LOI of less than 0.5% has been measured), and the stabilized
material is packaged and placed in vault storage. |
| |
|
|
|
1.c. |
Plutonium residues are considered stabilized
when they are treated (if required) and placed in a drum/pipe, and
meet the Hanford Site Waste Acceptance Program criteria which
incorporates the current WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC)
requirements. |
| |
|
|
|
1.d. |
For purposes of this measure, the plutonium is
considered packaged when the material and packaging meet the
requirements of the DOE-STD-3013 “inner can” and routine
inner packaging operations are initiated
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Plutonium oxides, metal, alloys, solutions and
residues are also considered stabilized when they have been sent
to another site for treatment or disposition. Plutonium materials
(Pu, Pu + U) removed from the Hanford DNFSB 94-1 inventories
through other means (e.g., sent to tank farms) shall also be
considered stabilized.
All packaging shall be in DOE-STD-3013
compliant container except as follows:
HCC or facility approved (e.g., food pack)
container may be used as package containers until the BTS/3013 is
available (in full operations).
Metal shall be packaged in the BTS inner can.
Residues shall be packaged as appropriate to
meet Hanford Site Waste Program and WIPP WAC requirements.

Liters |
For
purposes of calculating liters processed, it is assumed that each
solution bottle contains the full volume of solutions (e.g. A 10
liter bottle contains 10 liters of solution). |
|
Furnace Days |
The
number of thermal stabilization muffle furnaces installed and
planned for process operation of a thermal stabilization activity
(oxides processing, polycube processing, solutions processing, and
metals processing as examples) times the number of work days in a
particular period of interest. |
|
Items |
For
purposes of calculating oxides/metal/polycubes, an item is assumed
to be foodpack cans. One foodpack can of Polycubes is counted as two
items toward completion of the measure. However, credit toward
completion of the measure shall not change the method of reporting
MYWP and EM performance metrics.
For the special case where
Plutonium metal items must be stabilized in accordance with the
criteria established by the enhanced metal surveillance plan, prior
to the availability of the BTS, the metal items converted to oxide
and stabilized are counted on an equivalency basis calculated from
the quantity of oxides stabilized during a period of four calendar
weeks beginning July 17, 2000. The equivalency is as follows:
Pu
metal items oxidized and stabilized, packaged and placed into vault
storage will be credited towards the oxides stabilization criteria
at a rate calculated based upon work performed during the four
calendar weeks (a minimum of the 18 regularly scheduled work days).
For the regularly scheduled workdays, five furnaces shall be
considered planned and for any additional workdays only the actual
furnaces in operation will be considered. The actual equivalency
will be calculated by establishing the number of oxide items
stabilized during the period and dividing that by the number of
furnace days for the period. That yields the number of items per
furnace day produced. That number is then compared with the actual
experience of stabilization of those metal items (46 furnace days
for 7 metal items) that must be stabilized prior to the availability
of the BTS.
For example, the four calendar week period
starting July 17 contains 18 work days. Multiplied by 5 furnaces
yields 90 furnace days. If 180 oxide items are stabilized during the
same period that yields 2 oxide items per furnace day. Taking that
to the number of furnace days expended stabilizing the metals 46,
gives 92 oxide items that would have been stabilized during the
period and yields an equivalency of 92/7=13.1 oxide items per metal
item. |
|
Routine Packaging
|
Consecutive
containers are processed/welded and moved to, or staged for, the
next processing step. Minor adjustments and maintenance is allowed.
Excessive delay (greater than 7 days) due to ATP/OTP oversights for
the bagless transfer equipment and directly supporting facility
systems will invalidate initiation of routine packaging. |

documentation which must be readily available and an item crosswalk
document provided to demonstrate completion of this Performance
Incentive:

ASSUMPTIONS/TECHNICAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
AND REMEDY STATED: (For reasonably foreseeable impacts to
performance which are not covered under the Contract. If the
assumption or condition proves false the remedy shall be in
effect. If remedy is not possible the next step is
renegotiations).
WIPP waste acceptance requirements (WAC)
currently being used to develop the Hanford Site Solid Waste
Acceptance Program and used to develop the Plutonium residues
disposition path forward at PFP. If changes to the WIPP WAC and
Hanford certification place additional requirements on PFP this PI
will be revisited.
LOI will remain an acceptable method for
measuring moisture content of the material covered by this PI to
demonstrate meeting the DOE-STD-3013 stabilization standard. If
the standard is updated requiring a different method to be
performed this PI will be revisited.
The bagless transfer equipment provided by
Savannah River Site (SRS) will be delivered in accordance with the
memorandum of Understanding established between Hanford and SR.
DOE guarantees delivery (to Hanford) of bagless transfer equipment
provided by Savannah River Site (SRS) within 22 weeks of FDH
delivery (at SRS) of Hanford supplied glovebox. If DOE fails to
meet this commitment this PI will be renegotiated. |
