Examples include decontamination acid bath solutions andrinse waters, high-efficiency particulate air filters, personnel protective clothing and equipment, and sludges from thepretreatment and main radioactive liquid waste treatment processes.cApproximately 127 kilograms of the chemical wastes are construction and demolition debris (previously identified inthe yearbook as industrial solid wastes) resulting from cleanup following the Cerro Grande Fire. Construction anddemolition debris is nonhazardous, may be disposed of in county landfills, and does not represent a threat to localenvirons.dApproximately 68,584 kilograms of the chemical waste were generated as a result of replacement of storage tanks andsome associated plumbing at TA-50. The waste consisted of soil piles and asphalt associated with the pad the oldtanks were sitting on.eTo comply with the water quality standard of 20 picocuries, wastewater from tritium experimentsis occasionally sent to the Evaporation Basins at TA-53. During CY 2001, approximately 380 cubic meters of waterwere transferred to TA-53.fRCRA-listed hazardous chemicals were not projected to be used in RLWTF, and secondary mixed wastes weretherefore not projected to be generated.gThe first number shown in the “SWEIS ROD” column is the actual employee count representing CY 1999 (the yearthe SWEIS ROD was published). The second number shown in the “SWEIS ROD” column is the index numberrepresenting CY1999 (the year the SWEIS ROD was published). The number of employees for CY 1998 throughCY 2002 operations cannot be directly compared to numbers projected by the SWEIS ROD. The employee numbersprojected by the SWEIS ROD represent total workforce size and include PTLA, JCNNM, and other subcontractorpersonnel. The number of employees for 1998 through 2002 operations is routinely collected information and representsonly UC employees (regular full-time and part-time). Because the two sets of numbers (SWEIS ROD versus the newindex) do not represent the same entity, a direct comparison to numbers projected by the SWEIS ROD (see Section 3.6,Socioeconomics) is not appropriate. However, because this index is going to be used in each subsequent Yearbook,selecting CY 1999 as the base year establishes an index that can be compared over the ten-year window represented bythe SWEIS ROD.2-150SWEIS Yearbook—2002
2.15 Solid Radioactive and Chemical Waste Facilities (TA-50 and TA-54)The Solid Radioactive and Chemical Waste Key Facilities are located at TA-50 and TA-54. Activitiesare all related to the management (packaging, characterization, receipt, transport, storage, and disposal) ofradioactive and chemical wastes generated at other LANL facilities.It is important to note that LANL’s waste management operation captures and tracks data for wastestreams (whether or not they go through the Solid Radioactive and Chemical Waste Facilities), regardless oftheir points of generation or disposal. This includes information on the waste generating process; quantity;chemical and physical characteristics of the waste; regulatory status of the waste; applicable treatment anddisposal standards; and the final disposition of the waste. The data are ultimately used to assess operationalefficiency, help ensure environmental protection, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.There are three Category 3 nuclear buildings within this Key Facility: the Radioactive Materials ResearchOperations and Demonstration (RAMROD) Facility (Building 50-37); the Waste Characterization, Reduction,and Repackaging (WCRR) facility (Building 50-69), and the Radioactive Assay and Nondestructive TestFacility (RANT; Building 54-38). In addition, there are also several Category 2 nuclear facilities/operations;the LLW disposal cells, shafts, and trenches and fabric domes and buildings within Area G; the TransuranicWaste Inspection Project (TWISP) for the retrieval of TRU wastes, including storage domes 226 and 229–232; and outdoor operations at the WCRR facility. In addition to the nuclear facilities, has a radiologicalfacility. The Decontamination and Volume Reduction System (DVRS), TA-54-412, was added to theradiological facility list in 2002 (LANL 2002b).As shown in Table 2.15-1, the SWEIS recognized 19 structures as having Category 2 nuclear classification(Area G was recognized as a whole and then individual buildings and structures were also recognized).RAMROD was only a potential nuclear facility in the SWEIS, but subsequently was characterized by DOE.The WCRR facility was identified as a Category 2 in the SWEIS, but because of inventories and the newerguidelines, it was downgraded to a Category 3. Area G has remained a Category 2 facility when taken as awhole.2.15.1 Construction and Modifications at the Solid Radioactive and Chemical Waste FacilitiesProjected: The SWEIS ROD projected two construction activities for this Key Facility: the constructionof four additional fabric domes for the storage of TRU wastes retrieved from earth-covered pads and theexpansion of Area G.Actual: Only one of the two construction activities projected by the SWEIS ROD has been completed. Theconstruction of four additional fabric domes for the storage of TRU wastes retrieved from earth-covered padswas completed in 1998. Although expansion of Area G has not yet begun, the possibility exists for initiationof radioactive and mixed waste storage and disposal operations in Zone 4 within the next one to two years.Planning for the new facility previously intended for construction over Pad 4 to house high-activity drumswas stopped after Title I design.Construction of the DVRS began in 1999 and was completed in 2002. This is a high-bay metal buildingwith 13,000 square feet under roof. The DVRS is designed to segregate, decontaminate, and volume-reducefiberglass-reinforced plywood crates of TRU waste retrieved from the TWISP storage pads. A major fractionof the resulting segregated wastes is anticipated to be decontaminated to LLW, which will both (a) allow thesewastes to be disposed of at Area G and (b) decrease the volume of wastes that must be shipped to WIPP fordisposal. DVRS (TA-54-412) is now on the Radiological Facilities list (DOE 2002b). Although constructionof the DVRS was not projected by the SWEIS ROD, NEPA coverage was provided through an environmentalassessment (DOE 1999f) and subsequent Finding of No Significant Impact in June 1999.SWEIS Yearbook—2002 2-151
