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.
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by Physics Integration

The development and deployment of the VERA suite in the CASL program necessarily integrated a multi-institutional, multi-language set of tools for deployment to the nuclear industry. At the heart of this effort was the software infrastructure team who was charged with integrating these capabilities, ensuring all of the components work together, and packaging up VERA for release using an agile development process. This panel will discuss the various capabilities that have been developed over CASL to support this mission along with the impacts of having this infrastructure on the development teams, university researchers, and industry collaborators
