Abstract
This document provides the technical basis and recommended alternatives to be included in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for single-shell tank closure at the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington State. In preparing this document the Westinghouse Hanford Company has used systems engineering to provide a balanced approach for solving the complicated problem of single-shell tank closure. This systems engineering study has developed several conclusions that will aid the US Department of Energy in managing the single-shell tank waste. These conclusions include recommended alternatives for closure, characterization requirements, closure schedule, development requirements, facility requirements, and integration of double-shell tank and single-shell tank waste processing. The preferred alternative for single-shell tank closure will be determined in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement based on further evaluation of recommended alternatives.
