Waste Management’s Role in Safely Consolidating, Accelerating, and Delivering the Idaho Cleanup Project Core Mission Bruno Zovi, AMWTP LLW/MLLW Program Manager GV20060702005.ppt

Fluor Idaho Team Assumed ICP Core contract on June 1, 2016 Quick consolidation of incumbent workforces (and 1,663 employees ) under single, streamlined organization The company was organized to focus on critical work scope

Consolidation of Work Scope Combine all waste operations under Waste Ops director Provides strong continuity for achieving Idaho Settlement Agreement milestones Phased approach Early engagement with unions and workers Create collaborative and mutually beneficial work arrangement Worker involvement in assessment and optimization to implement “best of best” procedures, systems, and tools Business and program management system consolidation Adopt and adapt best practices of both CWI and ITG systems where practical

Challenges Breaking down barriers, both physical and perceived A fence between connecting facilities was removed to signify a united workforce “Them versus us” mentality had to be broken down Union interface Early on there were disagreements over which union was responsible for specific work We drafted memorandums of understanding allowing unions to do similar work as long as it didn’t impact jurisdictional boundaries Training Since Waste Management personnel support all Fluor Idaho-managed facilities, we had to implement a uniform training system This effort is continuing

Low-level Waste Successes/Capabilities Assumed contract June 1, 2016; released 1st shipment of mixed low-level waste June 8, 2016 364 low-level/mixed low-level waste shipments completed 3,774 m3 low-level/mixed low-level waste shipped Met all contractual milestones for low-level/mixed low-level waste disposition for both FY16 and FY17 EnergySolutions, Perma Fix, DSSI, WCS and NNSS assisted Fluor Idaho with the disposition of problematic waste GV20060702005.ppt

Low-level Waste Successes/Capabilities (cont’d) Received DOE approval to use new 8-120B cask for shipment of remote-handled low-level wastes to offsite disposal facilities, increasing allowable fissile gram equivalent from 325 to 2,200 This allows us to ship as many as eight containers versus the previous cask’s one Continuing to utilize our onsite low-level waste landfill for disposal of a host of CERCLA-generated cleanup wastes GV20060702005.ppt

Low-level Waste Successes/Capabilities (cont’d) Continuing to use real-time radiography and gamma spectrometry equipment at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project to characterize waste, segregating low-level waste from the transuranic waste inventory and shipping to offsite facilities for permanent disposal Using a macroencapsulation process for mixed low-level waste shipments to an offsite disposal facility has resulted in significant savings.

Other Waste Management Successes/Capabilities Retrieval of Above-Ground Waste All remaining boxes and barrels of radioactive and hazardous waste from an inventory of 65,000 cubic meters were retrieved in February 2017, six months early Shipments to WIPP resumed in April As of mid-October, Fluor Idaho has completed nearly 60 shipments The Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project is a one-stop shop for characterizing, treating, certifying, and shipping waste offsite It is being considered for additional DOE Complex TRU waste processing GV20060702005.ppt

Other Waste Management Successes/Capabilities (cont’d) Exhumation of Buried Waste Completed the exhumation and packaging of a combined 7,485 cubic meters of radioactive and hazardous wastes in September last year – a key provision of the 2008 record of decision 1 acre left to remediate under Fluor Idaho’s contract Approximately two years ahead of schedule GV20060702005.ppt

Other Waste Management Successes/Capabilities (cont’d) Other Waste Disposition Two hot cells at the INTEC facility are being used to treat/repackage remote-handled transuranic waste One of the hot cells was highly modified this summer to allow for larger waste containers Three unique sodium-treatment methods are being deployed to treat the RH-TRU waste Spritzing Immersion Distillation This treated material will ultimately be shipped to WIPP GV20060702005.ppt

Summary The transition to a single cleanup contract at Idaho was challenging but manageable Some activities, such as the creation of a uniform training system, are ongoing We are leveraging existing industry practices as well as unique processes to characterize and disposition our mixed low-level wastes The Waste Management program is using one-of-a-kind technologies to treat and disposition other waste types Some of our Waste Management facilities have the capability to treat other DOE Complex wastes, which is being considered
