Performance Specifications for the K Basin Sludge Transportation System Project A-16

The purpose of this performance specification is to document the necessary requirements and criteria for procurement of the Hanford K East Basin Sludge Transportation System, for use by the Fluor Hanford Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project. The Sludge Transportation System shall be used for the onsite shipment of Hanford K Basin sludge to T Plant for subsequent storage. Fundamentally, the system shall consist of a shielded shipping cask (packaging), transportation trailer, and inner sludge containers (container). The scope of this specification includes a description of the system payload and facility handling interfaces, and the performance requirements for the packaging (Cask), Trailer, Large Containers, Process Shield Plate, and associated Devices. This specification also provides the safety criteria required for the development of a Hanford onsite Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SAW), which shall document the technical justification for US. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office (RL) approval of the transport of the sludge packaging on the Hanford site. However, the development of the onsite SARP is not part of the scope of this procurement
