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.

Presentations should not have copyrighted material included, because the sessions will be recorded and viewable by meeting attendees at any time. Please email meetings@ans.org if you have any questions or need assistance ahead of time.
All links will be live 30 minutes before the first session starts. Please feel free to add all your sessions to your personalized itinerary. You can also add sessions to your calendar by clicking on "Subscribe to Your Itinerary Calendar." Please note the zoom link for each track will stay live the entire afternoon. If you are switching tracks, or are watching a track that is combining sessions, you may have to open a new zoom link.
Yes, each technical session will have a Knowledge Manager assigned for basic assistance. For any extra assistance or questions, please email meetings@ans.org.
Yes, all attendees need to register to gain access to the platform and access to the technical session links. Register now!
Please speak directly to your Session Organizer for assistance on how your session will be run.
Yes, the PowerPoint Template is available on the Resources page.
Sign in to the ANS website and click this link: “Sessions” in the left menu. Click on add attachments. Please note you need to be registered in order to have access to the meeting site.
We are allowing PDF, PPT, MP4, and links to external (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo) videos (for prerecorded videos).
The sessions will all take place live, but if a presenter cannot make their designated time, there may be part of a session prerecorded.
Yes, please note all sessions will be recorded and made available shortly after on the ANS site. Please contact meetings@ans.org if recording may cause any issues.
Yes, registrants will have access to all sessions. Please give ANS 24 hours after completion of session to post the recordings to the platform.
That is up to the author and the Session organizer. We recommend that each presenter share their screen and run their own presentation. Session Organizers and Knowledge Managers will be ready in case of an internet connection issue, power loss, etc.
The sessions will run in the Zoom Meeting platform. The only option is to “raise your hand”; there will not be a chat or Q&A function.
Please contact meetings@ans.org and they will direct your question to the appropriate staff.
There will be a comments section on each session page of the meeting platform. Please feel free to browse the sessions!
There is no app for this meeting.
Yes! We have several options. Please visit the Resources page to download and for instructions.
Yes, please send a list of all sessions attended live (no recorded sessions) to meetings@ans.org.
