LAWPS Hose-in-hose transfer lines permit modification

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is holding a 60-day public comment period on a proposed Class 2 permit modification to the Hanford Dangerous Waste Permit. The Tank-Side Cesium Removal (TSCR) System is the initial demonstration of the Low-Activity Waste Pretreatment System’s (LAWPS) capability to remove radioactive cesium and solids from low-activity, liquid tank waste prior to vitrification, or immobilization in glass, for safe disposal. The TSCR system started treating waste in 2022. Hose-in-hose transfer lines are used to move tank waste within the TSCR system.


The proposed permit modification is required to allow a limited service-life extension of the transfer lines. This will allow continued pretreatment of low-activity tank waste through the TSCR system until 2029 while the follow-on capability of LAWPS is brought online.
