Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advanced Mixed Treatment Project (AMWTP) privatized contract was awarded to BNFL Inc. in December 1996 and construction of the main facility commenced in August 2000. The purpose of the advanced mixed waste treatment facility is to safely treat plutonium contaminated waste, currently stored in drums and boxes, for final disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The plant is being built at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Construction was completed in 28 months, to satisfy the Settlement Agreement milestone of December 2002. Commissioning of the related retrieval and characterization facilities is currently underway. The first shipment of pre-characterized waste is scheduled for March 2003, with AMWTP characterized and certified waste shipments from June 2003. To accommodate these challenging delivery targets BNFL adopted a systematic and focused construction program that included the use of a temporary structure to allow winter working, proven design and engineering principles and international procurement policies to help achieve quality and schedule. The technology involved in achieving the AMWTP functional requirements is primarily based upon a BNFL established pedigree of plant and equipment; applied in a manner that suits the process and waste. This technology includes the use of remotely controlled floor mounted and overhead power manipulators, a high power shredder and a 2000-ton force supercompactor with the attendant glove box suite, interconnections and automated material handling. The characterization equipment includes real-time radiography (RTR) units, drum and box assay measurement systems, drum head space gas sampling / analysis and drum venting, drum coring and sampling capabilities. The project adopted a particularly stringent and intensive pre-installation testing philosophy to ensure that equipment would work safely and reliably at the required throughput. This testing included the complete off site integration of functional components or glove boxes, with the attendant integrated control system and undertaking continuous, non-stop, operational effectiveness proof tests. This paper describes the process, plant and technology used within the AMWTP and provides an outline of the associated design, procurement, fabrication, testing and construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AMWTP Final EIS assesses the potential environmental impacts associated with alternatives related to the construction and operation of a proposed waste treatment facility at the INEEL. The alternatives analyzed were: the No Action Alternative, the Proposed Action, the Non-Thermal Treatment Alternative, and the Treatment and Storage Alternative. The Proposed Action is the Preferred Alternative. Under the Proposed Action/Preferred Alternative, the AMWTP facility would treat transuranic waste, alpha-contaminated low-level mixed waste, and low-level mixed waste in preparation for disposal. After treatment, transuranic waste would be disposed of at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. Low-level mixed waste would be disposed of at an approved disposal facility depending on decisions to be based on DOE's Final Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Evaluation of impacts on land use, socioeconomics, cultural resources, aesthetic and scenic resources, geology, air resources, water resources, ecological resources, noise, traffic and transportation, occupational and public health and safety, INEEL services, and environmental justice were included in the assessment.

Book excerpt: This paper provides an overview of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP) located at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and operated by Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC(BBWI) It describes the results to date in meeting the 6,000-cubic-meter Idaho Settlement Agreement milestone that was due December 31, 2005. The paper further describes lessons that have been learned from the project in the area of transuranic (TRU) waste processing and waste certification. Information contained within this paper would be beneficial to others who manage TRU waste for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

This book was released on 2000 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 50 years, the Department of Energy (DOE) has produced nuclear materials for weapons. As a result of that effort, large quantities of radiological and hazardous wastes now contaminate the nation's nuclear production facilities. DOE's Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), located in eastern Idaho, has a large concentration of "mixed" waste-that is, a combination of radiological contaminants (such as plutonium) and hazardous but nonradiological contaminants (such as degreasing agents or acids). This mixed waste, which takes such forms as contaminated paper, cloth, and other materials (some of it saturated with liquids), is currently stored in metal drums and wooden boxes in a facility intended for temporary storage. Cleaning it up is important to both DOE and the state of Idaho. DOE has committed to having this waste treated and moved out of Idaho and to a disposal facility no later than December 31, 2018. To treat the mixed waste and prepare it for disposal, DOE awarded a fixed price contract for the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project to BNFL Inc. effective January 1997.1 BNFL plans to construct a treatment facility at INEEL near where the waste is being stored. BNFL's initial plan was to use the treatment facility to characterize the waste containers to determine their contents and radioactivity; separate the waste into different treatment paths; treat the waste primarily by using incineration to reduce its volume and stabilizing the waste by either converting it into a glass-like material or adding a cement-like material; package the waste; and certify it for shipment for off-site disposal. Stabilizing the waste in glass or cement was planned primarily as a backup strategy in case DOE's off-site disposal location was not available, and therefore, temporary on-site storage was required after treatment. Treating the waste will not reduce its radioactivity but will prepare the waste for disposal or long-term storage.
