The DOE N-Reactor is one of the plutonium production reactors located on the Hanford Reservation near Richland, Washington. It is graphite moderated, pressurized water reactors that in addition to production of special nuclear materials also provided steam to turbine generators owned by the Washington Public Power Supply System for electric power production. It began op ition in 1 is put into standby status in 1988 and closed because of similarities to Chernobyl.

In addition, previous studies have been conducted that monitored the performance of ET covers. Selected studies include the following integrated test plot experiment in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which monitored both types of ET covers from 1984 to 198786 Hill Air Force Base alternative cover study in Utah, which evaluated three different covers (RCRA Subtitle D, monolithic ET, and capillary barrier ET) over a 4-year period87 and Hanford field lysimeter test facility in Richland, Washington, DC, which monitored ET covers for 6 years.88...

Scott D. Elliott is manager of the Waste and Transportation Services Department for Duratek Federal Services at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, Richland, Washington. Elliott has worked in the fields of nuclear operations, training, and waste treatment for 24 years and has additional experience as a nuclear facility building emergency director. He is presently a nuclear, biological, and chemical operations instructor for the U.S. Army Reserves. 

Hanford and Richland, Washington, was selected for industrial-scale plutonium production and chemical separations facilities on January 16, 1943. This site was named the Hanford Engineer Works (later named the Hanford Site).

In 1998, the CORPEX technology was evaluated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the Hanford facility in Richland, Washington. The process solution cost 60/gal for a 55-gal purchased quantity. The DOE reported that CORPEX appeared to offer substantial cost savings compared with existing baseline technologies (D23002U, p. 2). 

The total proposed costs for a full-scale, 2000-ft ISRM barrier at the 100-D area of the DOE s Hanford Reservation in Richland, Washington, are 5 million. The DOE estimated that the design, construction, materials, and reactive material for the installation would cost approximately 480,000 (D206304, p. 1). 

Based on a cost analysis performed at the U.S. Department of Energy s Hanford site, in Richland, Washington, PSVE was found to be a cost-effective method for remediation of soils containing lower concentrations of volatile contaminants. PSVE used on wells that average 10 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) airflow rates was found to be more cost-effective than active soil vapor extraction for concentrations below 500 parts per million (ppm) by volume of carbon tetrachloride. For wells that average 5 scfm, PSVE is more cost effective below 100 ppm (D14489S, p. iii). For further details of this analysis, refer to Table 1. 

Allied Technology Group (ATG) hired PEAT, Inc., to build a TDR system to treat mixed waste from the DOE s Hanford facility in Richland, Washington. The PEAT system will treat 250 lb of mixed waste per hour (D186838, p. 1). The total value of the DOE contract is 24 million and the TDR contract is worth 4.3 million. This calculates a treatment cost of approximately 4700/m of waste treated. At the other DOE sites, treatment costs for other vitrification technologies are estimated between 5600 and 6400/m (D186838, p. 1 D18248T, p. 55).

In 1995, the total cost to remediate 187,000 m of liquid high-level radioactive waste (HEW) at the Hanford site in Richland, Washington, was estimated to be 6,543 billion. Approximately 163 million was allocated to purchase the resin. The costs of the facilities and operations were estimated at 530 million. The remaining 5,850 billion were associated with the vitrification and disposal of the used resin (D19431U, pp. 5, 11).
