GOALTo develop a long-range corporate strategy to
manage LLW/MLLW
![Page 3: LLW/MLLW National Disposition Strategy Gary R. Peterson, P.E. U.S. Dept. of Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f2b5503460f94c46863/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Specifically the LLW/MLLW National Disposition Strategy will:
Integrate site waste disposition plans. Examine MLLW streams without a current treatment
or disposal path, i.e. “orphan” waste streams. Ascertain any bottlenecks and/or gaps in
LLW/MLLW treatment or disposal. Assess DOE and commercial disposal options. Possibly recommend a corporate LLW/MLLW data
system.

Phases The LLW/MLLW National Disposition
Strategy will be developed in two phases.
Phase I will examine selected DOE sites with a significant quantity of EM LLW/MLLW
Phase II will examine those DOE sites not included in Phase I.

Phase I Sites
Oak Ridge
Savannah River Site
Idaho National Lab
Hanford (to include the Office of River Protection)
Fernald Closure Project
Miamisburg Closure Project
Portsmouth Project
Paducah Site
![Page 6: LLW/MLLW National Disposition Strategy Gary R. Peterson, P.E. U.S. Dept. of Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f2b5503460f94c46863/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Current Status Developed a draft Waste Breakdown
Structure (WBS) to categorize LLW/MLLW streams.
Collected LLW/MLLW data from Phase I sites.
Data was collected from each site “as is”. No effort was made to correlate waste data.
![Page 7: LLW/MLLW National Disposition Strategy Gary R. Peterson, P.E. U.S. Dept. of Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f2b5503460f94c46863/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Current Status (Continued) Listed MLLW orphan waste streams from
each Phase I site.
Developed a preliminary draft of the Phase I National Disposition Strategy Report and distributed for comment.

Waste Information Management System (WIMS)
WIMS was developed by the Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology, Florida International University, under DOE sponsorship.
We are considering the use of WIMS as part
of the corporate LLW/MLLW data collection system.

Draft Waste Breakdown Structure
(WBS)
![Page 11: LLW/MLLW National Disposition Strategy Gary R. Peterson, P.E. U.S. Dept. of Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f2b5503460f94c46863/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Waste Breakdown Structure (WBS) The WBS categorizes LLW/MLLW streams
by site, waste stream, treatment and disposal site.
The purpose is to provide a consistent basis for comparing LLW/MLLW streams from various sites.
Currently in draft.

Notes
• For the Treatment Site and Disposal Site levels (5 & 6), we will also include an R or T designator to indicate rail or truck transport mode.

Next Steps Gather data, per the WBS, on off-site LLW/MLLW
streams from the Phase I sites.
Map the off-site waste streams in an integrated schedule. (WIMS?)
Conduct a gap analysis on the Phase I waste streams.
Consider the possibility of a centralized LLW/MLLW database.
