9.1 Develop update to the Tank Integrity Program requirements and guidance to update DOE Order 435.1A in concert with the Tank Waste Corporate Board. Additional work to develop a technical basis for the current program is being explored as well. This is expected to require additional funding. The Tank Integrity Program requirements in the current DOE Order 435.1 are out of date and inconsistent with the current state of the technology. For example, the Hanford Site HLW tank program must inform the State of WA regulators that they are not following the DOE Order requirements because of this inconsistency. This could be of considerable concern for the State and other stakeholders. The WMWG is assisting DOE in updating the requirements and guidance to make them consistent with current technology. Incorporating consistent, state of the art technology in the DOE Order 435.1 Requirements and Guidance for HLW Tank integrity programs will advance the safety of tank systems and strengthen the technical integrity of the DOE required program over the entire complex. 9.1.1 Expect to provide specific recommendations and draft wording for requirements, definitions, and guidance to DOE-EM in FY16. 10.0 10.1 Provide technical support and consultation to the Portsmouth Onsite Disposal Cell PA/CA LFRG Review for Disposal Authorization and future DOE LLW disposal activities at other DOE sites in the future (e.g. Paducah, Oak Ridge, ORP IDF). The LFRG is made up of Federal officials that are responsible to review technical documents required by DOE Order 435.1 to recommend DOE authorization of LLW disposal in a DOE owned LLW disposal facility. By the EFCOG providing technical and regulatory consultation to the LFRG review of DOE authorization of onsite LLW disposal, DOE is able to tap resources that have years of Performance Assessment, Composite Analysis, key technical basis document preparation, and Operational Experience to assist DOE in carrying out their authority to approve the operation of LLW Disposal Facilities. 10.1.1 Expect to provide specific recommendations and draft wording for Disposal Authorization Technical Basis Documents, definitions, and guidance to DOE-Portsmouth and Oak Ridge in FY16. Carry that expertise into the reviews of Paducah, Oak Ridge, and Office of River Protection’s Integrated Disposal Facility (IDF). 11.0
