摘要

The DWTF(Decontamination and Waste Treatment Facility)is a facility built in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,a University of California operated,government owned,DOE,(Department of Energy)National Laboratory.The DWTF is a facility built to manage LLW(Low-Level Waste),MLLW (Mixed Low-Level Waste)and TRU(Transuranic Waste).Operations that will be conducted in the facility are numerous including storage,treatment,and preparation for disposal off site(packaging and transportation).No disposal is performed in Livermore National Laboratory for these wastes. The facility will house much of the equipment transferred from other facilities in outdoor storage areas presently in use at Livermore.The DWTF has gone through a phased ORR(Operational Readiness Review)process mandated by DOE.This process includes the contractor getting ready to operate the facility,preparing a self-assessment report,then a readiness review by an independent contractor,with another review by the Department Of Energy.Essentially,all three assessments occur in series and all produce their share of corrective actions. To claim readiness for this type of facility,one needs among other things,to obtain a RCRA(Resource Conservation and Recovery Act)permit to operate a“Treatment Storage and Disposal facility”from the authorized state.Also needed is a PAAA(Price Anderson Amendments Act)safety analysis from DOE to operate Category 2 and Category 3 nuclear facilities.The DWTF permit is based on an eleven-volume permit application,and a chemical health risk assessment that has faced public scrutiny the whole way. The Documented Safety Analysis(DSA)is based on approximately 100 generic accidents and a hybrid of DOE orders and regulations with little uniformity applied throughout the complex. Other technical issues of little importance to formal reviewers included,a need to integrate ventilation, programmable logic control,specify and procure semi-custom equipment,transfer equipment from existing facilities to reduce down-time,or additional operational constraints phase start-up to meet schedule and resolve a punch list having over 700 items all after construction was concluded. Politics helped.Local politicians participated in pushing the process through.Everyone involved in the project gave it a higher priority than before,but it did come at a price.Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is managed through Livermore Site Operations part of the NNSA(National Nuclear Safety Administration).The waste operations at this site are directly funded through EM(Environmental Management)in DOE.EM is due to transfer its operations over to NNSA for Livermore soon.The Organization who operates DWTF for DOE has had to“sit on the fence”between organizations,and at the same time,providing information to the Government Accounting Office for a congressionally mandated audit of the progress in opening of the facility.
