SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

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

FY2000 baseline work scope must be completed before any FY2001 fee may be earned. These are included in the regular numbers in Section 3; i.e., 1b Pu Solutions.

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 2001.

DEFINE COMPLETION: (Specify Performance Elements and describe indicators of success (quality/progress). Include baseline documentation/data against which completion documentation should be compared).

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.

COMPLETION DOCUMENTS LIST: (In addition to the Completion Notice the document(s) that should be submitted/data that should be available/actions to be taken by evaluator, to determine actual performance to the requirements stated above).

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

(The documents listed below may be classified, and the document record number will be referenced in the Completion Package).

Measure 1 -

1a:

For plutonium oxides (PU, PU+U), a table providing each original container number, the run number it was processed in, the moisture content sample results for that run (including sample number), and current vault storage container number shall be provided.

For plutonium metal brushed, a table providing the original item container number for each metal piece dispositioned, the original metal weight per established records, the new metal weight after brushing, the current vault storage container number, the date of brushing and the date of stabilization of the brushed oxide, moisture content data for the brushed oxide, and the current vault storage container number for the brushed oxide.

For plutonium metal oxidized, a table providing the original container number for each metal piece dispositioned, the run number it was processed in, the moisture content sample results for that run (including sample number), and current vault storage container number shall be provided.

For polycubes, a table providing each original container number, the run number(s) it was processed in, the moisture content sample results for those runs (including sample number), and current vault storage container number shall be provided.

For other materials dispositioned, a table providing each original container number, and documentation of the disposition path.

1b:

For plutonium solutions, the bottle numbers associated with each batch, the furnace run numbers for the resulting precipitate treatment (or prototype calciner or other labs run number), moisture content data for those runs, and current vault storage container numbers. Note: It is recognized that there will likely be some mixing of solution between runs as the result of heels. It is not expected that this be accounted for in the data provided for this Performance Incentive.

1c:

For plutonium residues, a table providing each original container number and its bulk weight, the treatment/repackaging run number, the can number of the material after treatment/repackaging, and the WIPP drum or pipe number it was placed in and the approved Waste Profile Sheets for each container. A list of Ash items (container numbers and gross weight) held back pending WIPP analysis and for use as NDA standards, including a justification for the number of items required to meet the WIPP analysis and NDA standards.

2.

For stabilized plutonium packaged into DOE-STD-3013 compliant containers, a table providing the current vault storage container number, leak check results and a crosswalk to the items stabilized in FY99 and FY00 and placed in foodpack cans.

3.

For milestone completion, a letter shall be transmitted to RL documenting the milestone completion.

Records shall be available that can be used to verify the data in the table provided.

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).

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. This PI is based on a funding level of $96,617,000 (FH-2000-003) and the currently approved PFP Basis of Estimate.
