Corporate Performance Measures Definitions
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 dispositioned.
Legacy and Newly Generated Low-Level and Mixed
Low-Level Waste disposed (cubic meters): Number of cubic meters
of legacy and newly generated 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.
Material Access Areas Eliminated (number of areas):
Number of material access areas (MAAs) eliminated. An MAA is any
location which contains special nuclear material. The objective of the MAA boundary
is to prevent or detect the unauthorized movement of material though it, while allowing
access for authorized personnel, authorized material movement, and emergency evacuation,
as necessary.
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.
