Plutonium Metal or Oxide packaged for long-term storage (number of
containers): Number of certified DOE
storage/treatment/disposal (STD) 3013 containers (or equivalent) of plutonium
metal or oxide packaged ready for long-term storage.
Enriched Uranium packaged for long-term storage (number of containers):
Number of certified containers packaged ready for long-term storage.
Plutonium or Uranium Residues packaged for disposition (kg of bulk material):
Kilograms residue material packaged ready for
disposition/disposal.
Depleted and other Uranium packaged for disposition (metric tons):
Number of metric tons of depleted and natural uranium packaged in a form
suitable for disposition.
Liquid Waste in Inventory eliminated (millions of gallons):
Radioactive liquid tank waste (and other forms such as sludge and saltcake)
volume is counted when the inventory is reduced. This measure refers to waste
traditionally called "high-level" waste, such as waste in the 177 tanks at
Hanford. The radioactive liquid tanks waste inventory should not reflect any
volume changes due to processing.
Liquid Waste Tanks closed (number of tanks): Tanks are
counted when they reach the point of closure; closure is any endpoint as
defined in a final, approved record of decision, and may include clean closure
or in-place closure for the wastes described in the previous measure.
High-Level Waste packaged for final disposition (number of containers):
Containers/canisters ready for disposal.
Spent Nuclear Fuel packaged for final disposition (metric tons of heavy
metal [MTHM]): Heavy metal mass of spent nuclear fuel ready
for final disposition. Packaging for transport is not included unless no
further packaging is required after transport.
Transuranic Waste shipped for disposal (cubic meters): Number
of cubic meters transuranic (TRU)/TRU-mixed shipped for disposal at the Waste
Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).
Low-Level and Mixed Low-Level Waste disposed (cubic meters):
Number of cubic meters of low-level and mixed low-level waste disposed.
Disposal quantities should include onsite disposal of a site's own waste, waste
shipped to a commercial facility for disposal, and waste shipped to another DOE
site for disposal. Waste generated from ongoing processing operations should be
included in this measure; remediation waste should not be included in this
measure.
Category 1 Facilities eliminated (number of areas):
Number of facilities for the storage and handling quantities of Special Nuclear Material are
defined as described in DOE O 470.4-2 and DOE O 470.4-7 eliminated, such
that DOE-required Category 1 Facility security and safeguard standards
are no longer required.
Nuclear Facility Completions (number of facilities): Number
of nuclear facilities that have reached their end state within the EM program.
This endpoint should correspond to one of the following: decommissioning,
deactivation, dismantlement, demolishment, or responsibility for the facility
is transferred to another program or owner. Facilities should not be reported
more than once. If a facility is included in the radioactive or industrial
facility measures, it should not be reported in the nuclear facility
measure.
Radioactive Facility Completions (number of facilities):
Number of radioactive facilities that have reached their end state within the
EM program. This endpoint should correspond to one of the following:
decommissioning, deactivation, dismantlement, demolishment, or responsibility
for the facility is transferred to another program or owner. Facilities should
not be reported more than once. If a facility is included in the nuclear or
industrial facility measures, it should not be reported in the radioactive
facility measure.
Industrial Facility Completions (number of facilities):
Number of industrial facilities that have reached their end state within the EM
program. This endpoint should correspond to one of the following:
decommissioning, deactivation, dismantlement, demolishment, or responsibility
for the facility is transferred to another program or owner. Facilities should
not be reported more than once. If a facility is included in the nuclear or
radioactive facility measures, it should not be reported in the industrial
facility measure.
Remediation Complete (number of release sites: A
release site is considered complete after regulatory approval is obtained and
no additional EM resources are required except for long-term stewardship. This
will occur after an assessment or evaluation (i.e., no action decision), or
after active remediation is complete.
Geographic Sites eliminated (number of sites): A
site in its entirety (e.g., Fernald) is "complete" when active remediation has
been completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of cleanup
agreements (e.g., records of decision, permits). Stewardship or non-EM
activities may be on going after site completion.
