Expression of Interest for the Grouting and Disposal of Mixed Low-Level Waste from Hanford Tanks

The Department of Energy Hanford (hereafter termed the Department or DOE) (through Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS)), is seeking industry input on options available to implement a recommendation made by a team of subject matter experts from a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) on implementing alternative treatment methods for the Hanford tank’s low-activity waste (LAW). To that end, the Department seeks to better understand the capabilities of industry to provide Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) treatment, grout, and dispose of a mixed low-level waste (MLLW) separated from pretreated Hanford tank waste. This EOI describes the process by which the Department will interact with identified interested parties and provide said parties with the information they require to assess their capabilities to meet the stated need. Based upon the information received, DOE may host an Industry Day event in the future where interested commercial parties can present their strategies for providing LDR treatment, grouting, and disposing of this MLLW. This information may also be used in the development of an acquisition strategy for the commercial treatment, grouting, and disposal of the subject waste stream.
