Regulatory inspection of the provision of disposability assessment and waste packaging advice in the UK to provide confidence that higher activity waste stored on licensed sites will be suitable for safe handling, transport and disposal - 15088

Radioactive Waste Management Limited (RWM), the developer and future operator of a geological disposal facility (GDF) in the United Kingdom, operates a disposability assessment process to minimise the risk that current conditioning and packaging of higher activity wastes (HAW) will result in packages incompatible with geological disposal in the future. Specialists in nuclear and environmental safety from the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and the Environment Agency (EA) in 2013/14 completed an inspection of the RWM's process of disposability assessment. The inspection gave the regulators confidence that RWM has in place a systematic process to provide an important means of reducing risks associated with waste packaging in advance of an operational GDF and that the process of disposability assessment is providing the necessary information for licensees to assure future HAW disposal to the GDF. This work forms part of our continuing programme to review RWM's work related to geological disposal of higher activity radioactive waste (HAW). (authors)

SORTIE DB - Source term integrated environmental management disposal facility database - 15249

The Environmental Management Disposal Facility (EMDF) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is a proposed U.S. Department of Energy low-level Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) waste disposal facility with an operational start in the early 2020's. As a DOE low-level waste disposal facility, it is subject to DOE Order 435.1, requiring a composite analysis and possibly a performance assessment. The Source Term Integrated EMDF Data Base - SORTIE DB - provides source term estimates used in these assessments. An Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) Federal and Contractor team developed this state-of-the-art descriptive analytics and visualization schema. DOE OREM senior management has recognized complementary beneficial uses of SORTIE DB in decisions for accelerating clean-up progress, dealing with conflicting sequencing and budget priorities, and enhancing stakeholder and regulatory interfaces. SORTIE DB is designated as an OREM planning tool. SORTIE DB contains estimated forecast waste volumes and masses for over 800 Decontamination and Decommissioning (D and D) and Remedial Action (RA) sequenced baseline packages over the next 25+ years. Available characterization data, radionuclide identification and concentrations, and data from safety basis and emergency management documents are incorporated into SORTIE DB. (authors)

H-Canyon facility remains a national asset after finding innovative solution to funding issues - 15278

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of missions for the H-Canyon facility at the Savannah River Site, as its capabilities are being recognized as an increasingly important asset for the Department of Energy (U.S. DOE). The sustainability of that asset was called into question in 2011, when funding from U.S. DOE's Environmental Management (EM) program became insufficient to sustain processing. Through the acquisition of new customers, funding was restored and H Canyon missions have seen new life. (authors)
