Hanford Mission Acceleration Initiative: Preliminary Testing Recommendations for Supplemental Treatment

摘要

This document is a re-issue of a previous report, Hanford Mission Acceleration Initiative--Draft Preliminary Testing Recommendations for Supplemental Treatment, PNNL-14005. Since its original issue the report has undergone a national technical review. This report has incorporated the recommendations and comments from that review while keeping the context of the report the same as when originally written. In May 2002 the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) prepared the Performance Management Plan for Accelerated Cleanup of the Hanford Site (DOE 2002). The goal of the accelerated schedule described by DOE is to accelerate tank waste treatment completion by 20 years, accelerate risk reduction, and save $20 billion. To achieve this goal, all tank waste treatment at Hanford must be completed by 2028, which will require a significant increase in the processing rate of the baseline Waste Treatment Plant (WTP).
