This Process Knowledge Summary Report summarizes information collected to satisfy the transportation and waste acceptance requirements for the transfer of one drum containing contact-handled transuranic (TRU) actinide standards generated by the Idaho National Laboratory at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Complex to the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP) for storage and subsequent shipment to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant for final disposal. The drum (i.e., Integrated Waste Tracking System Bar Code Number TRA010029) is currently stored at the Materials and Fuels Complex. The information collected includes documentation that addresses the requirements for AMWTP and applicable sections of their Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permits for receipt and disposal of this TRU waste generated from ATR. This Process Knowledge Summary Report includes information regarding, but not limited to, the generation process, the physical form, radiological characteristics, and chemical contaminants of the TRU waste, prohibited items, and packaging configuration. This report, along with the referenced supporting documents, will create a defensible and auditable record for this TRU waste originating from ATR.

This report identifies and compares on-site and off-site disposal options for the disposal of contact-handled and remote-handled low-level waste generated by the Idaho National Laboratory and its tenants. Potential disposal options are screened for viability by waste type resulting in a short list of options for further consideration. The most credible options are selected after a systematic consideration of cost, schedule constraints, and risk.In order to holistically address the approach for low-level waste disposal, options are compiled into comprehensive disposal schemes, that is, alternative scenarios. Each alternative scenario addresses the disposal path for all low-level waste types over the period of interest. The alternative scenarios are compared and ranked using cost, risk and complexity to arrive at the recommended approach. Schedule alignment with disposal needs is addressed to ensure that all waste types are managed appropriately.The recommended alternative scenario for the disposal of low-level waste based on this analysis is to build a disposal facility at the Idaho National Laboratory Site.iii iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report addresses low-level radioactive waste (LLW) that is currently generated and disposed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA) manages the INL Site for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The bulk of the INL Site's LLW is currently disposed at the Subsurface Disposal Area (SDA) located at the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC). BEA's contract includes responsibility to develop a detailed plan that describes the steps necessary for ensuring disposal capability will be available for contact-handled (CH) and remote-handled (RH) low-level waste ( This report presents an analysis of options for disposal of CH and RH LLW generated by the INL and its tenants, specifically Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP), the Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP), as well as the Naval Reactors Facility (NRF). While the bulk of the CH LLW can be disposed off-site, RH LLW, particularly activated metals, have certain radionuclides and high radiation levels that result in increased costs and risks for off-site transportation and disposal.This report first discusses the options for off-site disposal of CH LLW and RH LLW. For on-site disposal options, the schedule and costs for a new facility are presented for both CH and RH LLW. The various options for disposal of each waste stream are combined into credible alternative scenarios and described in Section 5. This section forms the basis for the recommended alternative scenario that achieves disposal of all of the INL Site's predicted LLW to be generated through 2035, when the INL Site is to complete its cleanup mission under a settlement agreement with the State of Idaho.The alternative scenarios are presented in the report:Alternative Scenario 1-All LLW disposed on-site in a new facility Alternative Scenario 2-All LLW disposed off-site at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) Alternative Scenario 3-CH LLW, RH LLW...

This Process Knowledge Summary Report summarizes the information collected to satisfy the transportation and waste acceptance requirements for the transfer of transuranic (TRU) waste between the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) and the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP). The information collected includes documentation that addresses the requirements for AMWTP (23) and the applicable portion of their Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permits for receipt and treatment of TRU debris waste in AMWTP.
