19.1 The WMWG Packaging & Transportation Subgroup will collect and compile relevant waste transportation incidents and issues r to produce a summary of lessons learned. Inputs will be collected by P&T members as well as through soliciting inputs from CTMA, the TMC, HQ Occurrence Reports, and from NNSS waste generators. Emphasis will be placed upon highlighting recent transportation activities that have resulted in corrective actions by waste generators – resulting in development of a lessons learned summary that is applicable to multiple sites and generators. The expected benefit will be to generate a summary of recent lessons learned that can be used in planning waste transportation activities while ensuring that those activities meet all applicable DOT and DOE requirements. Implementing consistent and compliant methodologies, techniques, procedures, and documentation should result in reduction in delays from and cost savings due to their avoidance. 19.1.1 Expect to initiate collection of relevant transportation incident/issues data - with data compilation and Lessons Learned Summary to be posted by December 2017. 20.0 20.1 In accordance with DOE O 435.1, assist the DOE Office of Waste Disposal (EM 4.22) with their macro assessment of DOE’s LLW/MLLW management activities. Identify potential issues and opportunities for integration. The initial activity requested is to survey all major sites and submit survey results to HQ. To ensure that DOE HQ is of potential programmatic issues with disposition of wastes (e.g., onsite disposal site development, D&D waste generation); ability to disposition problematic waste streams; understand if new technologies are needed to address disposition; and, ensure there is information sharing for disposition of consistent waste streams across the complex. The initial effort involved generating a survey that be distributed to major sites and a few minor sites. Surveys were sent to prime contractors – UCOR, CHPRC, Fluor Paducah, Fluor Portsmouth, SRNS, LANS, CHBWV, and Fluor Idaho. 100% of surveyed sites provided responses by June 2017, which were submitted to DOE HQ. The WMWG provided an analysis of the survey responses at the National Cleanup Workshop in Sept. 2017. As a result, the EFCOG Director Sponsor recommended and DOE agreed that one or more workshops should be conducted with the sites selecting the 1 or 2 most problematic waste streams or issues for review and analysis. The subject matter experts on theses wastes or issues should be present to discuss and design a path forward for each one.
