HLW System Plan. Revision 4

This High Level Waste System Plan describes the current operational strategy for the management of the Savannah River Site's High Level Waste System (waste tanks and evaporators, waste removal, new waste transfer facility, F/H interarea line, diversion, sludge processing, in-tank precipitation, F/H effluent treatment, defense waste processing, solid waste incineration). Reason for the revision is to align the Plan with the recently developed FY95 annual operating plan andoutyear funding. The FY95 funding reduction and projected FY96 funding reduction have resulted in a net reduction of about $287 million during the FY95-FY00 planning period. While some of the reduction is planned to be offset by manpower reduction, overall operation of the HLW system will be negatively impacted. Projected DWPF (defense waste processing facility) startup date remains 12/95
