Results for “Annual Review” — Page 3

An internal audit was performed in ALAB to ISO 17025:2017; EPA LQST and AIHA requirements using the current AIHA Checklist. The scope of the internal audit was the annual review of AIHA-accredited industrial hygiene methods performer in both ALAB and NIF HPL. The Internal audit resulted in 3 deficiencies and 3 comments.

Maintenance Plan for the Composite Analysis of the Hanford Site, Southeast Washington

The objective of this document is to provide a maintenance plan (MP) that supports the Hanford Site composite analysis (CA). Maintenance consists of four activities: compliance and performance monitoring; research and development; planned reviews and analysis; and revisions to the CA. This MP will be reviewed annually by the site and updated as needed to address priorities based upon new information or proposed changes, the status of any disposal authorization statement (DAS) conditions/limitations and Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG) issues. This revision supersedes Revision 4.

Performance Assessment for the Disposal of Low Level Waste in the 200 East Area Burial Grounds (FY2019 Annual Status Report)

This annual review provides the projected dose estimates of radionuclide inventories disposed in the 200 East Area Low-Level Waste Burial Grounds (LLBGs) since September 26, 1988. These estimates are calculated using the original dose methodology developed in the performance assessment (PA) analysis (WHC-SD-WM-TI-730) and are compared with U.S. Department of Energy requirements (DOE O 435.1 and performance objectives defined in companion documents DOE M 435.1 and DOE-STD-5002-2017). All performance objectives are currently satisfied, and operational waste acceptance criteria (HNF-EP-0063) and waste acceptance practices continue to be sufficient to maintain compliance with performance objectives. Inventory estimates and associated dose estimates from future waste disposal actions are unchanged from previous years’ evaluations, indicating that potential impacts are well below performance objectives; therefore, future compliance with DOE O 435.1 is expected. A new PA study has been initiated in this fiscal year (FY) 2019 for evaluation of active disposal sites within the 200 West and East Areas (Trenches 31 and 34 in 200 West; Trench 94 in 200 East) because extended time has elapsed between the current annual status report and the original PA (WHC-SD-WM-TI-370) for the active disposal sites. The new PA for the active disposal sites is expected to be completed in FY 2021.

Annual Status Report (FY 2020): Performance Assessment for the Disposal of Low Level Waste in the 200 East Area Burial Grounds

This annual review provides the projected dose estimates of radionuclide inventories disposed in the 200 East Area Low-Level Waste Burial Grounds (LLBGs) since September 26, 1988. These estimates are calculated using the original dose methodology developed in the performance assessment (PA) analysis (WHC-SD-WM-TI-730). The estimates are compared with requirements of DOE O 435.1 Chg 1 and performance objectives defined in companion documents DOE M 435.1-1 Chg 1and DOE-STD-5002-2017). All performance objectives are currently satisfied, and operational waste acceptance criteria (HNF-EP-0063) and waste acceptance practices continue to be sufficient to maintain compliance with performance objectives. Inventory estimates and associated dose estimates from future waste disposal actions are unchanged from previous years’ evaluations that indicate potential impacts well below performance objectives; therefore, future compliance with DOE O 435.1 Chg 1 is expected. A new PA study was initiated in fiscal year (FY) 2019 for evaluation of active disposal sites within the 200 East and 200 West Areas (Trench 94 in 200 East; Trenches 31 and 34 in 200 West) due to extended time elapsing between the current annual status report and the original PA for the active disposal sites. The new PA for the active disposal sites is expected to be completed in FY 2021. Within the active burial grounds in the 200 East Area, low-level waste and mixed low-level waste will continue to be disposed of in the dedicated U.S. Navy reactor compartment trench at the 218-E-12B Burial Ground (Trench 94). During this reporting period (FY 2020, from October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020), two reactor compartments were disposed in Trench 94. Results from sorption experiments are summarized for this reporting period to quantify the efficacy of concrete waste forms in retaining key radionuclides (e.g., technetium-99 and iodine-129). The test durations ranged from 1 to 3 months. Continued groundwater monitoring of the 200 East Area LLBGs indicates no groundwater contamination due to LLBG waste. Current assumptions about future land use at the Hanford Site are consistent with PA analysis1 assumptions of a post-closure facility that will not be degraded by human activity. The LLBGs are located in an area identified for waste management and containment of residual contamination. This area will remain after final environmental remediation and the proposed shrinkage of Hanford Site boundaries to small sections within the 200 East and 200 West Areas in the Central Plateau (DOE/EIS-0391). The current closure plan for the LLBGs (DOE/RL-2000-707) estimates that the 200 East LLBGs will be closed in the 2050 timeframe. The Disposal Authorization Statement, other technical basis documents, and the radioactive waste management basis are of continued adequacy to meet the performance objectives of DOE O 435.1 Chg 1. Overall, there are no substantive changes to primary PA assumptions nor the PA analysis conclusion; therefore, compliance with DOE O 435.1 Chg 1 and the Disposal Authorization Statement is maintained.
