12. 12Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy 77 waste shipments to off-site TSDFs Zero shipment issues during transport or acceptance at the disposal endpoint. Waste Management software change over from commercial to ORNL developed software. April 8, 2011… First use of “item level certification” FY11… Implemented waste chargeback model [Treatment and Disposal (T&D) cost]. Effective and efficient management of waste inventory. Full waste shipments, small amount of waste in storage. RCRA Permitted Waste Storage Facility at ORNL Provide capability for ORNL to store waste for longer than 90 days (up to 1 year). Improve lab packing efficiency; combine items from different onsite generators into same labpack thereby reducing disposal costs. FY 2014 Waste Management Highlights
