Hanford Burial Grounds
The overall objective of this project is to develop and/or identify technologies needed for a state-of-the-art, turnkey system for in-situ identification, containment, retrieval, separation, packaging, and final certification (WIPP or onsite) of waste in the Hanford 618-10 and 11 burial grounds.
In Phase I, the team provided concept generation, evaluation, and selection criteria for specific technologies, processes, plans, methods, and procedures documented in a final recommendation report. A preliminary documented safety analysis to support Phase II and III was also developed.
- Research and development for three removal configurations; trenches, caissons and pipes
- Concept Design Development
- Preliminary/Bench Testing and Simulations
- Coordination and Planning
- Detailed and Recommendations Report
The following tasks were accomplished in Phase I:
