Tank Waste Disposal Program redefinition

High-level waste inventory, characteristics, generation, and facility assessment for treatment, storage, and disposal alternatives considered in the US Department of Energy eenvironmental management programmatic environmental impact statement

“…The pretreatment option to be used at Hanford has yet to be defined. Depending upon the pretreatment option(s) chosen, the capital cost may be increased by anywhere from $1.5 billion to over $3 billion (1991 dollars) (Grygiel 1991); the latest estimate is $1.7 billion for pretreatment of the DST waste using advanced actinide separation . This puts the total capital cost of the HWVP (including pretreatment facilities) from $2.7 billion to over $4.2 billion.…”

Public values related to decisions in the Tank Waste Remediation System Program

“…"TWRS New Technical Strategyu(') Tank Waste Disposal Program Redefinition (Grygiel et al 1991) Tank Waste Technical Options Report (Boomer et al 1993)…”

“…Previous TWRS-related studies have made such efforts by going out into the community and by interviewing representatives of many different organizations concerned with TWRS decisions. For example, as part of the Tank Waste Disposal Program Redejinition (Grygiel et al 1991), selected groups were interviewed to elicit their values and concerns regarding the redefinition alternatives. These groups included the Washington Department of Ecology, the Oregon Department of Environment, the Washington State Governor's Office, Westinghouse Hanford Company, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Richland Operations Office, and DOE Headquarters.…”

Testing and development strategy for the tank waste remediation system

“…The tank waste disposal program was redefined in 1991 (Grygiel 1991). TWRS came into being in January 1992.…”
