This appendix describes the Hanford Site tank waste and cesium (Cs) and strontium (Sr) capsules and the alternatives that are addressed in this Tank Waste Remediation System (TWRS) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The detailed description of each alternative includes 1) an overview of the alternative; 2) the facilities to be constructed; and 3) the processes involved. Because certain post-remediation activities are common to each alternative, they are discussed in a separate section followed by a discussion of specific applicable technologies that are not now but could be included in the alternatives. The appendix concludes with a compilation of comparison data such as resource requirements, staffing requirements, and emissions data for each alternative.
This appendix provides specific details about the alternatives to supplement the more general discussion in Volume One, Section 3.0 of the EIS. The data used in generating this appendix came from a series of engineering data packages that were compiled separately by Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (WHC 1995a, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, n and Jacobs 1996).
