Draft Waste Incidental to Reprocessing Evaluation for Test Bed Initiative Demonstration, also known as Low-Level Waste Offsite Disposal Project at the Hanford Site, Washington
The U.S. Department of Energy is holding a 90-day public comment period on its Draft Waste Incidental to Reprocessing (WIR) Evaluation for the Test Bed Initiative (TBI). The Draft WIR Evaluation assesses whether approximately 2,000 gallons of separated, pretreated, and solidified low-activity waste from Tank SY-101 at the Hanford Site is incidental to the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, is not high-level radioactive waste, and may be managed as low-level radioactive waste, under the criteria in Section II.B.(2)(a) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Manual 435.1-1, Radioactive Waste Management Manual.
The comment period runs from Nov. 5, 2021 to Feb. 2, 2022. A virtual public meeting will be held on Nov. 18, 2021, from 1 to 4 p.m. PT. To participate via Microsoft Teams, please follow the instructions below:
