GAO: Grouting Hanford tank waste could cost more than $1.1B

Grouting Hanford’s low-level radioactive liquid tank waste could cost between $480 million and $1.1 billion, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, which has repeatedly found that grouting (immobilizing waste in a concrete-like mixture) can accelerate cleanup at the Hanford Site and save billions of dollars when compared to mixing the waste with molten glass through the vitrification process.
12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021)
Technical Session|Panel

Session Chair:
Jeffrey C. Joe (INL)
Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
David R. Desaulniers (U.S. NRC)
Staff Producer:
Pat Schroeder (ANS)
This panel session highlights the work to develop consensus and other industry standards relevant to nuclear Instrumentation and Control Systems and Human Factors Engineering. Featured panelists include Richard Wood (IEEE I&C), Wolfgang Krause (IEC Human Factors), Judi See (HFES Human Factors), Prasad Kadambi (ANS I&C), and David Desaulniers (IEEE Human Factors). Panelist will describe their currently active standards, with an emphasis on their relevance and value to the nuclear I&C and human factors communities. Panelist will also highlight new standards under development and what gaps in the existing technical guidance these new standards are intended to fill.
