Identification of Issues to be Considered for Plutonium Finishing Plant Accelerated Closure.

DE2005837634

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Hopkins, A. M.; Lilly, J. T.
Page Count	16
Abstract	This paper describes some of the basic issues identified to date related to the proposed closure of the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP) site. It is to be used as a preliminary planning supplement to enable application of the many guidance documents that are now available to describe the statutory and DOE requirements for closure of a Hanford site contaminated with low levels of plutonium. The major issues identified herein include: (1) Closure barrier performance, life expectancy and design criteria; (2) Public and interest group acceptability of closure approach; (3) Quantity of plutonium that will remain; (4) Void backfilling prior to barrier placement; (5) Identification of closure zone boundary; and (6) Impact of 241Z and 241Z-361 waste unit closure plans on the PFP surface barrier design.
