To treat the remaining portion of the LAW while keeping the HLW treatment on track, DOE-EM wants to increase LAW treatment capacity by building an additional facility for "supplemental treatment." As currently envisioned, the supplemental low-activity waste (SLAW) would be similar in composition to the WTP's LAW stream.

Also, the committee received briefings and publicly available presentation slides from the FFRDC team during the first introductory meeting on December 12-13, 2017, in Washington, DC.2 The webcast videos of these two public meetings are archived and available for viewing.3 Moreover, the committee has reviewed a set of draft working documents, which in this review report will be called the "FFRDC's draft report," which is dated February 14, 2018, and has been made publicly available.4 Table 1-1 lists the contents of the draft report; when referencing information in the draft 1 For clarity, to the extent possible, this review report uses the nomenclature of team for the FFRDC's investigators, the committee for the National Academies committee, the draft report for the FFRDC team's work, and the review or review report for the committee's work. 2 For this public meeting's presentations, see http://dels.nas.edu/Past-Events/Meeting-Supplemental-Treatment/ DELS-NRSB-17-02/9656.

To perform its peer review task, the committee is composed of 14 experts whose expertise spans the issues relevant for reviewing the FFRDC's analysis, including risk assessments, cost estimation, cost-benefit analysis, waste processing, supplemental treatment approaches, legal and regulatory requirements, and large scale nuclear construction projects. A majority of the members have prior experience in studying cleanup activities at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, as well as other DOE-EM sites.
