Measure 1 -
The plutonium materials stabilization is considered complete when:
| Expectation 1a: |
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 moisture content,
of less than 0.5%), and are packaged and placed in vault
storage.
Plutonium metal and metal alloys are considered stabilized
when it has been brushed to remove surface oxide and has been
packaged and placed in vault storage. The brushed oxide must be
treated as described above. Plutonium metal and metal alloys may
be stabilized via oxidation and the oxide created stabilized as
described above.
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, moisture content of less than 0.5% has been measured),
and the stabilized material is packaged and placed in vault
storage.
Other nuclear material items (see items definition) may be
counted toward the stretch portion of expectation 1a and are
considered stabilized when they have been sent to another site
for treatment or disposition. Other materials removed from the
PFP inventories through other means (e.g., sent to tank farms,
packaged as waste) shall also be considered dispositioned. |
| Expectation 1b: |
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, moisture
content of less than 0.5% has been measured), and the stabilized
material is packaged and placed in vault storage. |
| Expectation 1c: |
Plutonium residues are considered stabilized when they are
treated (if required) and placed in a drum/pipe, and meet the
Hanford Site Waste Acceptance Criteria which incorporates the
current WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) requirements.
Residues shall be packaged as appropriate to meet Hanford Site
Solid Waste Acceptance Criteria (HNF-0063) and WIPP WAC
requirements. |
| Expectation 2: |
For purposes of this measure, the plutonium is considered
packaged when the material and packaging meet the requirements
of the DOE-STD-3013 and placed into vault storage. |
NOTE: For purposes of both Expectation 1 (a, b, and c) and 2,
plutonium oxides, metal, polycubes, 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 94-1/2000-1 inventories through other means
(e.g., sent to the Hanford Tank Farms) shall also be considered
stabilized.
| Expectation 3: |
Milestones: Complete brushing and
repackaging of metal inventory: 3/31/01 (Metal in inner BTS
containers by 3/31/01. Corrosion products will be in inner BTS cans
by 4/30/01 and all material in outer 3013 containers by 8/1/01).
Ship aluminum alloys to SRS or package for disposition to WIPP.
Brush and package remaining alloys at PFP: 6/30/01.
Completion of the DNFSB milestone is considered met when all
material of a category identified in the DOE Implementation Plan
for Recommendation from 94-1/2000-1 has been stabilized and/or
dispositional in accordance with the criteria established by 1a,
1b, and 1c above. |
DEFINITIONS: (define terms)
| Balance of RFETS Ash |
All remaining Rocky Flats Ash inventory stored at PFP as of
10/1/2000 (nominally 300 kg bulk weight) except those items
required to be held back for later WIPP analysis and for use as
NDA standards. |
| BTS |
Bagless Transfer System. |
| HCC |
Hanford Convenience Can. |
| Items |
For purposes of calculating oxides/metal/alloys/polycubes, an
item is assumed to be Foodpack cans. One foodpack can of Polycubes
is counted as three items toward completion of the measure. For
the items of metal requiring oxidation above the 10% of inventory
assumed in the baseline plan for oxidation will count as four
items toward completion of the measure. However, this shall not
change the method of reporting MYWP and EM performance metrics.
Also, the nuclear material dispositioned may be counted toward the
oxides/metal/polycubes stretch quantities at the following rates:
- Other Pu isotopes - One for One. - HEU - One for One. -
Source material (LEU, NU, DU & Thorium) - One Quarter for One. -
Other materials (Americium, Berkelium, Californium, Neptunium,
Curium, - Deuterium, Lithium and tritium - One for One.
|
| Kg Bulk |
Gross Weight documented by nuclear material inventory records. |
| 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 containing 8 liters is considered to contain 10
liters of solution). |
| Moisture Content Measurement |
A test to determine product moisture content using Loss On
Ignition (or approved substitute, i.e., Super Critical Fluid
Extraction or Neutron Moderation). |
| Vault Storage |
DOE-STD-3013 compliant container placed into one of the
following vaults for storage 234-5Z, 2736-ZB, 2736Z or an RL
approved alternate storage. |
| WIPP |
Waste Isolation Pilot Project. |

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).
-
The WIPP waste acceptance criteria (WAC) currently being used to
develop the Hanford Site Solid Waste Acceptance Program will be
used to develop the Plutonium residues disposition path forward at
PFP. If changes to the WIPP WAC and Hanford Site Solid Waste
Acceptance Criteria place additional requirements on PFP, this PI
will be revisited.
-
LOI and SFE 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 this PI will be revisited.
-
This PI is based on a funding level of $96,617,000 (FH-2000-003)
and the currently approved PFP Basis of Estimate.
