The 224-T Transuranic Waste Storage and Assay Facility (224-T TRUSAF) began waste management operations in September
of 1985. This unit is a RCRA-ctanpliant container storage unit located within the 224-T building (refer to attached
drawings).
Facility.
The 224-T Building is located southeast of the T Plant Cortplex in the 200 West Area of the Hanford
This building consists of two sections. The weste rn two-thirds of the building are used for the
RCRA-compliant storage of containerized transuranic mixed waste and low-level mixed waste. The eastern one-third of
the building consists of six radfatogically-contaminated process cells that contain equipment that was flushed when
the process was terminated. These process calls were sealed from the rest of the building in 1975. It is unknown
whether any regulated material remains within the process cells.
SOl
The 224-T TRUSAF provides a centralized storage unit for storage of containerized transuranic mixed waste and
low-level mixed waste from various Hanford Facility operations and from other U.S. Department of Energy and
U.S. Department of Defense facilities. The transuranic mixed waste will be transferred to an onsite treatment,
storage, aril/or disposal (TSD) unit or oflefte TSD facility to be prepared for transfer to, and disposal at, the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico or at other approved disposal site(s). The 224-T TRUSAF
also will store retrieved containers of transuranic mixed waste from the low-Level Burial Grounds (LLBG). Before
storage at the 224-T TRUSAF, the LLBG transuranic mixed waste will be retrieved for characterization and
reprocessing at an onsite 7SD unit or offsite TSD facility. Assay of the retrieved waste will consist of
nondestructive testing to conffrm the fissile isotope content and to confirn the absence of prohibited items before
shipment to the WIPP or to other approved,disposal site(s). The total process design capacity for storage at the
224-T TRUSAF is approximately 416,395 liters (110,000 gallons).
