| Abstract | The West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Act of 1980 authorized the Department of Energy (DOE) to among other things, solidify the high-level liquid radioactive waste (HLW) present at the West Valley site, along with disposing of the low-level and transuranic (TRU) wastes. Since the completion of HLW solidification in 2002, the WVDP has turned its attention to decontamination and decommissioning of Project facilities and disposing of the wastes generated throughout performance of the Project. The TRU waste generated over the course of the Project has been placed into safe storage and is managed by the West Valley Nuclear Services Company (WVNSO) for the DOE. To address DOE’s goal to accelerate site cleanup and TRU waste disposition, a strategy was developed to gain approval to ship waste to a designated DOE facility which already has the capability to characterize and certify TRU waste. |
