Glass strategy: Hanford’s enhanced waste glass program
The mission of the Department of Energy’s Office of River Protection (ORP) is to complete the safe cleanup of waste resulting from decades of nuclear weapons development. One of the most technologically challenging responsibilities is the safe disposition of approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive waste historically stored in 177 tanks at the Hanford Site in Washington state.
ORP has a clear incentive to reduce the overall mission duration and cost. One pathway is to develop and deploy innovative technical solutions that can advance baseline flow sheets toward higher efficiency operations while reducing identified risks without compromising safety. Vitrification is the baseline process that will convert both high-level and low-level radioactive waste at Hanford into a stable glass waste form for long-term storage and disposal.
Although vitrification is a mature technology, there are key areas where technology can further reduce operational risks, advance baseline processes to maximize waste throughput, and provide the underpinning to enhance operational flexibility; all steps in reducing mission duration and cost.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) created the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) in 2009 to consolidate university support under one program. NEUP plays a key role in helping DOE-NE accomplish its mission of leading the nation’s investment in the development and exploration of advanced nuclear science and technology by funding nuclear energy research at U.S. colleges and universities and providing student education support through the Integrated University Program (IUP).
