Storage Project (above-ground storage) and does not acknowledge the unique properties
of newly generated waste to optimize the certification process.
NMT waste management personnel are currently working with FWO, E and CBFO
personnel to eliminate unnecessary and duplicative requirements while maintaining
program integrity and assuring that WAP requirements are met. By streamlining program
requirements and controlling certification program changes, the new certification
requirements, tailored for newly generated waste can be met in an efficient and cost
effective manner with minimal disruption to operations.
Program Description
Actinide operations at LANL's TA-55 Plutonium Facility generate a wide variety of
radioactive, hazardous and mixed waste forms including TRU and mixed TRU. The
NMT-7 Waste Management and Environmental Compliance Group is responsible for
providing guidance to operations personnel to assure that these wastes are disposed of in
a safe, compliant and expedient manner. They make sure that the waste is packaged and
documented properly for acceptance by FWO Division for interim storage and final
assay, real-time radiography and headspace gas analysis. Staging and payload
configuration are completed by E Division personnel prior to TRUPACT-II loading and
shipment of the waste to WIPP, There are approximately 60 personnel in the Group
including an integral quality assurance program and staff
