March 20, 2023Test Bed Initiative Demonstration; Washington
DOE’s Office of Environmental Management is proposing to proceed with the engineering-scale Test Bed Initiative Demonstration, which would separate and pretreat approximately 2,000 gallons of Hanford low-activity tank waste, which would then be treated and solidified (grouted) at an offsite, permitted, commercial facility and disposed of at an offsite, permitted and licensed, mixed low-level radioactive waste (MLLW) disposal facility. Based on the analysis in the EA (DOE/EA-2086), DOE prepared a finding of no significant impact.
