The Committee will provide advice to 

the Associate Director of the Office of 

Science for Nuclear Physics (DOE), and 

the Assistant Director, Directorate for 

Mathematical and Physical Sciences 

(NSF), on scientific priorities within the 

field of basic nuclear science research. 

The Secretary of Energy has determined 

that renewal of the Committee is 

essential to conduct business of the 

Department of Energy and the National 

Science Foundation and is in the public 

interest in connection with the 

performance of duties imposed by law 

upon the Department of Energy. The 

Committee will continue to operate in

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of Environmental Management; 

Notice of Availability of Draft Section 

3116 Determination Concerning 

Disposal of Residual Tank Wastes in 

Tanks 18 and 19 at the Savannah River 

Site 

AGENCY: Office of Environmental 

Management, Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) announces the availability of a 

draft determination concerning the 

permanent, in-situ disposal of residual 

tank wastes (including tank structure 

and equipment) in liquid radioactive 

waste tanks 18 and 19 at the F-Tank 

Farm (FTF) at the Savannah River Site 

(SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina. DOE 

prepared the draft determination 

pursuant to Section 3116 of the Ronald 

W. Reagan National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, 

which authorizes the Secretary of 

Energy, in consultation with the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, to determine 

that certain waste from reprocessing is 

not high-level waste (HLW) if the 

provisions set forth in section 3116 are 

satisfied. Although not required by the 

Act, DOE is making the draft 

determination available for public 

review and comment. 

DATES: The comment period will end on 

November 21, 2005. Comments received 

after this date will be considered to the 

extent practicable. 

ADDRESSES: The draft waste 

determination is available on the 

Internet at http://apps.em.doe.gov/swd, 

and is publicly available for review at 

the following locations: U.S. 

Department of Energy, Public Reading 

Room, 1000 Independence Avenue, 

SW., Washington, DC 20585, Phone: 

(202) 586–5955, or Fax: (202) 586–0575; 

and U.S. Department of Energy, 

Savannah River Operations Office, 

Public Reading Room, 171 University 

Parkway, Aiken, SC 29801, Phone: (803) 

641–3320, or Fax: (803) 641–3302. 

Written comments should be addressed 

to: Mr. Matthew Duchesne, U.S. 

Department of Energy, Office of 

Environmental Management, EM–2, 

1000 Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585. Alternatively, 

comments can be filed electronically by 

e-mail to 

matthew.duchesne@em.doe.gov, or by 

Fax at (202) 586–4314. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 

1954, SRS Tank Farms F and H have 

received over 140 million gallons (Mgal) 

of waste from SRS nuclear material 

processing facilities. Much of this waste 

resulted from the reprocessing of spent 

nuclear fuel for defense purposes, 

which has been commingled with nonreprocessing waste. The waste tanks 

contain two distinct types of radioactive 

waste material, approximately 3 Mgal of 

radioactive sludge and approximately 

34 Mgal of salt waste. DOE’s plans call 

for stabilizing and disposing of retrieved 

sludge in a deep geologic repository for 

spent nuclear fuel and high-level 

radioactive waste. Regarding the salt 

waste, DOE contemplates removing 

fission products and actinides from 

these materials using a variety of 

technologies and solidifying the 

remaining low-activity salt stream into a 

grout matrix, known as saltstone grout, 

suitable for disposal in vaults at the 

Saltstone Disposal Waste Determination. 

This Determination addresses only 

the permanent disposal of the residual 

materials contaminating Tank 18 and 

Tank 19, as well as the structure of the 

tanks themselves and ancillary 

equipment. Both tanks have a nominal 

operating capacity of 1.3 Mgal. Waste 

removal operations for Tank 18 were 

initiated in 1985 and completed in 

2003. Tank 18 now holds approximately 

4.3 thousand gallons (Kgal) of residual 

material. Waste removal operations for 

Tank 19 were initiated in 1981 and 

completed in 2001, and it now holds 

approximately 15.1 Kgal of residual 

material. DOE plans to fill both tanks 

with a reducing grout designed to 

stabilize and solidify the residual 

material. This method was chosen as the 

least hazardous and most 

environmentally preferable alternative. 

It will reduce migration of contaminants 

into the environment; prevent 

inadvertent intrusion; minimize freestanding liquids; and minimize void 

spaces in the tank. After final pouring 

of the stabilizing grout, a layer of higherstrength grout will be poured into the 

tanks to further discourage human/ 

animal inadvertent intrusion. In 

addition, institutional controls (access 

restriction and groundwater monitoring) 

will be implemented and maintained in 

accordance with Federal and State 

agreements. 

Final Determination: Section 3116 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy, in 

consultation with the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC), to 

determine that certain waste from 

reprocessing is not HLW if the 

provisions set forth in Section 3116 are 

satisfied. DOE will issue a final waste 

determination for Tanks 18 and 19 

following the completion of 

consultation with the NRC, and 

consideration of any public comments. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 3, 

2005.

Deputy Assistant, Secretary for 

Environmental Cleanup and Acceleration.
