C.3 Hanford Occupational Medical 27

Program 28

Background 29

(a) The 580-square-mile Hanford Site is located 30 along the Columbia River in southeastern 31 Washington State (Figure C-1). A plutonium 32 production complex with nine nuclear reactors 33 and associated processing facilities, Hanford 34 played a pivotal role in the nation's defense for 35 more than 40 years, beginning in the 1940s with 36 the Manhattan Project. Today, under the 37 direction of the DOE, Hanford is engaged in the 38 world's largest environmental cleanup project, 39 with a number of overlapping technical, political, 40 regulatory, financial, and cultural issues. 41 Figure C-1.

HANFORD OCCUPATIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES CONTRACT SECTION C SOLICITATION NO. DE-SOL-0009553

C-3

(b) Operations at Hanford during World War II and the Cold War left a legacy of cleanup challenges: 1 approximately 53 million gallons of radioactive and chemically hazardous waste in 177 underground 2 storage tanks (16 of which have been emptied); approximately 2,300 tons (2,100 metric tons) of spent 3 nuclear fuel (which has been placed in storage); approximately 20 tons (18 metric tons) of plutonium 4 material in various forms in the Site’s main plutonium plant (the material has been stabilized, 5 packaged, and transported off the Hanford Site); more than 25 million cubic feet (750,000 cubic 6 meters) of buried or stored solid waste; groundwater contaminated above drinking water standards 7 spread out over more than 80 square miles (208 square kilometers); approximately 2,000 waste sites 8 (with about 1,300 remediated to date); and approximately 1,700 facilities, including about 400 that 9 were contaminated (880 total facilities have been remediated). 10

(c) In May 1989, DOE, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the State of Washington 11 Department of Ecology signed the landmark Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order, 12 commonly known as the Tri-Party Agreement (TPA). The TPA outlines legally enforceable 13 milestones for Hanford cleanup over the next several decades. Additionally, there are three Consent 14 Decrees establishing schedules for DOE to complete retrieval of 19 single-shell tanks at the tank 15 farms; these Consent Decrees must be consulted in determining DOE’s compliance requirements for 16 the Tank Farms, along with the three companion Consent Decrees between DOE and Oregon that 17 address reporting and notification obligations. 18

(d) DOE has two Federal offices at Hanford overseeing environmental cleanup, the DOE Richland 19 Operations Office and the DOE Office of River Protection. DOE’s mission is nuclear waste and 20 facility cleanup; the treatment, storage, and disposal of radioactive and hazardous waste; the 21 monitoring and treatment of contaminated groundwater; and site services that are part of overall 22 management of the Hanford Site. DOE’s mission is to retrieve and treat Hanford’s tank waste and 23 close the tank farms to protect the Columbia River. For purposes of this Contract, the land, facilities, 24 property, projects, and work performed and overseen by DOE constitute the "Hanford Site." 25

(e) Another DOE Office (PNSO), a component of the DOE Office of Science, oversees the science and 26 technology mission performed by the Contractor-operated PNNL. PNNL is an Office of Science 27 multi-program laboratory that conducts research and development activities, including technology 28 programs related to the Hanford cleanup mission. 29

(f) In addition to the cleanup mission, DOE leases Hanford land to non-DOE entities, such as the Laser 30 Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, and the State of Washington, which in turn leases the 31 land to US Ecology, Inc., a private firm that operates the Hanford Site burial grounds for commercial 32 low-level waste. DOE also leases land to Energy Northwest (a consortium of public utility 33 companies) that oversees the Northwest’s only operating commercial nuclear power reactor. 34 These operations are not associated with the Federal cleanup work at Hanford. 35

Contract Transition – Firm-Fixed-Price 36

Background 37

(a) The overriding objectives of transition are to complete a safe, effective, and efficient transfer of 38 responsibility for execution of the PWS, resulting in the Contractor assuming full responsibility for 39 the Contract and workforce with no disruption to ongoing operations. The main goal of the transition 40 process is to ensure that terms and conditions of the Contract are fully understood by the Contractor 41 prior to assumption of full responsibility for execution of the Contract. 42
