1 1 2001: WTP Construction Began

2 2 WTP in 2015 Pretreatment Facility High-Level Waste Facility Low-Activity Waste Facility Analytical Lab

3 33 Pretreatment Facility World’s largest radioactive chemical separations facility  540 ft X 215 ft x 120 ft tall  114,000 cu.yds. concrete  17,000 tons of structural steel  540,000 ft. piping  1.5 million ft. electrical cable  1.8 million lbs. heating and ventilation ductwork Confirming and improving reliability and flexibility in black cells –In-service inspection –Mitigation of potential events

4 44 High-Level Waste Vitrification Facility Turns high-level waste into glass with two 90-ton melters  440 ft X 275 ft x 95 ft tall  88,000 cu.yds. concrete  11,500 tons of structural steel  165,000 ft. piping  1.6 million ft. electrical cable  1.1 million lbs. heating and ventilation ductwork Construction and design work continues in areas where technical decisions have been made

5 55 Low-Activity Waste Vitrification Facility Turns low-activity waste into glass in two 300-ton melters  330 ft X 240 ft x 90 ft tall  28,500 cu.yds. concrete  6,200 tons of structural steel  103,000 ft. piping  840,000 ft. electrical cable  945,000 lbs. heating and ventilation ductwork Priority is to complete Low-Activity Waste Vitrification Facility first to enable acceptance of direct-feed low-activity waste until the Pretreatment Facility is completed

6 66 Analytical Laboratory Ensures glass meets regulatory requirements 10,000 samples each year  320 ft X 180 ft x 45 ft tall  12,000 cu.yds. concrete  1,800 tons of structural steel  35,000 ft. piping  172,000 ft. electrical cable  314,500 lbs. heating and ventilation ductwork Priority is to complete Lab to provide laboratory sampling of direct-feed low-activity waste and glass product

7 77 Balance of Facilities Vast infrastructure to support operations  Steam plant  Chiller compressor facility  Electrical substation & switchgear  Water treatment facility  Glass former storage  Emergency power facility  Cooling tower  Underground waste transfer systems Priority is to complete Balance of Facilities to provide the infrastructure need to produce low-activity glass

8 8 Direct Feed LAW–phased approach to start-up Provides operations experience Allows waste treatment as soon as practicable

9 9 WTP is an Iconic Project 263,000 cubic yards Concrete 41,000 tons Structural steel 930,000 feet Piping 2,090 tons Ductwork 5,100,000 feet Electrical cable

10 10 Continue construction in HLW Focus on completing Lab, LAW, and infrastructure to support Direct Feed LAW Provide data to support decision to resume design, procurement and construction on PT Integrate work between Tank Farm/WTP via the One System Integrated Project Team Planned work in 2015

11 11 Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant WTP is the solution to Hanford’s tank waste 11
