Targeted Assessment of the Low Activity Waste Pretreatment System Preliminary Safety Design Basis at the Hanford Site Tank Farms
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Safety and Environmental Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA), conducted a targeted assessment of the Preliminary Safety Design Report (PSDR) and Preliminary Safety Validation Report (PSVR) for the High-Level Waste Tank Farms Low Activity Waste Pretreatment System (LAWPS) at the Hanford Site. This targeted assessment of the PSDR and PSVR focused on select aspects of the LAWPS processes, hazards, and controls for conformance to the requirements of DOE-STD-1189-2008, Integration of Safety into the Design Process, and DOE Order 420.1C, Facility Safety. This assessment is part of a series of targeted safety basis assessments of nuclear facility construction projects at selected DOE sites.
