• FY14 – Contracts under ICPT BOA with several full service laboratories
• All offsite analytical support provided by BOA laboratories LWS; 3 Offsite Labs under Contract w/ Limited Onsite Lab Need For
Special Case Issues (e.g. High Rad; Rad Fecal Coliform, etc.) EPS; 4 Offsite Labs under Contract; More Usage of Onsite Lab Due
To Short Analytical Hold Time Requirement Analyses
• Laboratory selection performed and documented on each sample request (lab justification); dependent upon analytical suite.
• Lab Justification Factors considered: Cost (# Samples, Analytical Suite, TAT, Deliverable Requested) Past performance (MAPEP, DOECAP Audits, QA/QC Issues w/ Data
Reviews, Invoicing; Responsiveness; etc.) Other issues (e.g. Sample Volume, NRC license, Facility Safety
Basis, Meeting TAT)

Sampling Improvements…
Innovative Sampling Ideas:
• HEPA Sampling Glovebag:
Portable; allows for sampling at location; do not need to locate vent hood for sampling.
• Metal Punch for Coupon Sampling:
Easily produce punchout of up to ½” steel for TCLP RCRA Metals sample.

Oak Ridge National LaboratoryFY14 Decade of Waste Generation*
* Does not include waste from ARRA Funded Projects.
12 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy
• 77 waste shipments to off-site TSDFs
Zero shipment issues during transport or acceptance at the disposal endpoint.
• Waste Management software change over from commercial to ORNL developed software.
• April 8, 2011… First use of “item level certification”
• FY11… Implemented waste chargeback model [Treatment and Disposal (T&D) cost].
• Effective and efficient management of waste inventory.
Full waste shipments, small amount of waste in storage.
• RCRA Permitted Waste Storage Facility at ORNL
Provide capability for ORNL to store waste for longer than 90 days (up to 1 year).
Improve lab packing efficiency; combine items from different onsite generators into same labpack thereby reducing disposal costs.
