  1. Incorporation of HLW Activities Within the NSNFP Philip Wheatley April 13, 2005

  2. History • NSNFP supporting management of DOE SNF • Primarily in the area of disposition • Strategy Meeting traditionally attended by a number of HLW participants • NSNFP coordinates bi-weekly HLW conference calls • NSNFP coordination activities often included HLW • IICD • License application section reviews • YMP requests for HLW information

  3. Transition to RW • Early planning efforts for NSNFP transition to RW • Expanding NSNFP scope • Primary contact for all EM waste forms • Discussions with EM senior management when NSNFP transition was postponed

  4. Recent HQ and YMP Discussions • EM-3, Chief Operating Officer briefing in late 2004 • Follow-on briefing with Deputy Assistant Secretary for Logistics & Waste Disposal Enhancement • EM staff briefings • Discussions with RW staff

  5. NSNFP Capabilities Directly Applicable to HLW Issues • Analytical capabilities • Repository Performance Assessment • Total System Performance Assessment • Geochemistry • Criticality • Material science • Thermal/mechanical • National network of contacts (DOE sites, Navy, Yucca Mountain, etc.) • Established QA program

  6. NSNFP Capable of Supporting HLW Disposal System Needs • Enhanced communication and integration between EM and RW • Repository facility designs affected by waste form assumptions • Technical basis for waste forms • Develop acceptable understanding of methodology for advancing waste form technical basis • TSPA sensitivity analysis in waste form parameters • Analysis of DOE-EM WAPS and DOE-RW WASRD • Waste matrix performance/durability

  7. Summary • Demonstrated significant accomplishments and cost savings for EM and RW • Capable of providing enhanced communication and integration between EM and RW • Capable of addressing HLW disposal system needs • Needed to meet EM accelerated closure objectives • Program supported by RW
