Mission Need Statement: Calcine Disposition Project. Major Systems Acquisition Project. Idaho Cleanup Project
This document identifies the need to establish the Calcine Disposition Project to determine and implement the final disposition of calcine including characterization, retrieval, treatment (if necessary), packaging, loading, onsite interim storage pending shipment to a repository or interim storage facility, and disposition of related facilities. A summary of the need is simply stated as follows: As a result of past spent nuclear fuel reprocessing activities at the Idaho Nuclear Technology Engineering Center (INTEC) on the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site, approximately 4400 cubic meters (155,000 cubic feet or 1.2 million gallons) of granular-solid high level waste (HLW) calcine was generated and is stored in six bin sets which overlie the Snake River Plain Aquifer, designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as a Sole Source Aquifer. The Idaho Settlement Agreement requires that the Department of Energy put calcine in a form suitable for shipment from Idaho by a target date of 2035. Interim milestones require a National Environmental Policy Act Record of Decision (ROD) by December 31, 2009, to identify the methods that will be used to dispose of calcine including treatment (if necessary) and submission of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit application for the selected treatment by December 1, 2012. As a result, Environmental Management (EM) has identified a need to establish the Calcine Disposition Project to determine and implement the final disposition of calcine including characterization, retrieval, treatment, if necessary, packaging, loading, onsite interim storage pending shipment to a repository or interim storage facility. Initiation of the Calcine Disposition Project is a subproject of the Idaho Cleanup Project with responsibility to manage, store, treat as necessary and dispose of the high-level waste calcine stored at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center.
