3116 Waste Determinations Public Meetings
and Generic Technical Issues Summaries

Below are public meeting summaries, general technical issue summaries and meeting summaries for the development of the Savannah River Site F Area Tank Farm Performance Assessments - all related to 3116 waste determinations.

The 3116 Public Meeting Summaries cover public meetings that the Department of Energy (DOE) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) periodically host to provide the status of activities associated with waste determinations under Section 3116 (a) of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005.

The Generic Technical Issues Summaries cover the informal technical discussions between representatives of the Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and as appropriate State regulatory agencies to discuss the following generic technical topics concerning DOE’s performance assessments: point of compliance, concentration averaging, model support, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, cumulative impacts, estimating waste inventory and waste tank characterization, long term grout performance, and long-term engineered cap performance. These are ongoing technical discussions intended to facilitate the exchange of information between the agencies and foster an enhanced understanding of generic technical approaches and methodologies. The meetings take place in advance of and apart from any specific draft waste determination basis document that may be the subject of consultation with NRC and public review and comment. DOE prepares a summary of the discussions regarding each generic technical issue.

The Meeting Summaries for Development of the Savannah River Site F Area Tank Farm Performance Assessment cover informal discussions between representatives of the Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support DOE’s preparation of a new performance assessment for the Savannah River Site F Area Tank Farm. These discussions have included the underlying assumptions, input parameters, and modeling approaches to be taken in developing this assessment. These technical discussions are intended to facilitate preparation of a final performance assessment. Once completed, the F Area Tank Farm Performance Assessment document will undergo review by the NRC, SCDHEC, and EPA. DOE prepares a summary of each of the informal technical meetings.
