*Idaho Cleanup Project*

## Overall EM Complex Progress

*Productivity Improvements:*
*Reduced $50B from $192B to $142B (in unescalated dollars)*
*Accelerated the completion date by 35 years to 2035*
*Risk to Workers and Environment have been significantly reduced*
*Total Reportable Case Rate (TRCR) and Lost Workday Case Rate (LWCR) have been reduced by 42% and 38% respectively*

## Overall EM Complex Progress (cont)

*Getting Work Accomplished (FY03 Complex-wide results)*
*Exceeded Transuranic (TRU) waste to Waste Isolated Pilot Plant (WIPP) goal by 41% (6372m3)*
*Exceeded Mixed Low Level Waste (MLLW) disposal goal by 58% (118,361m3)*
*Exceeded Facility Demolitions by 133% (135 facilities)*
*Exceeded Remediation Completions by 21% (260 sites)*

## Strategic Vision of Idaho Completion Project

*Clearly Define End States and Focus on Risk Reduction*
*Convert to Focused Contract for Cleanup*
*Build on Recent Productivity Successes and Accomplishments*
*Continue to Focus on Safely Performing Work*
*Eliminate Legacy of Past Missions and Create Opportunity for New*

**Notes:**
This Research and Development was incentivized through PEMP 2.2.2.1 ”Field-test nonintrusive surface and probe-hole-deployed characterization and imaging technology” for an award fee of $159K
Performance Requirements from PEMP
Define Completion:
The deployment of two new probe-hole-deployed characterization instruments, a PFN probe and a PCNAA probe, from probeholes into the pits and trenches at the INEEL Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC), including pit 9, to verify and map the inventory of waste disposed and into monitoring wells in the INEEL vadose zone and aquifer to map the distribution of mobile contaminants by in situ measurements to facilitate the development of cost effective remedial solutions to the remediation of the INEEL site.
Justification:
The development and delivery of the new technologies are required to support programmatic milestones and enable key cleanup objectives to be met in the remediation of the INEEL site.
Assumptions: 
Deployment into the Snake River aquifer will be via an existing well.
Baseline:
The funding for this activity is part of BBWI's FY2001 Validation and Verification budget as documented in the approved FY 2001 Detailed Work Plan.

## Recent ICP Performance:	

*Productivity Improvement – since FY02 the ICP has:*
*Reduced $10.1B from $25.7B to $15.6B (in unescalated dollars)*
*The ICP completion date is accelerated 35 years *
*Getting more work done safely*
*Getting Work Accomplished (FY02 – 6/30/04)*
*Eliminated 270,000 sq. ft. of the remaining EM footprint*
*Packaged and shipped 40% of remaining EM-managed Special Nuclear Material (SNM) off-site*

## Eliminated 80% of backlog MLLW and over 1000m3 of newly generated mixed waste
Remove all spent fuel from INEEL’s last three aging basins
Emptied and cleaned five 300,000 gal. And four 30,000 gal. tanks
Completed the Glovebox Excavator Method Project (GEM) and remediated Waste Area Group (WAG) 4
