Comment:
What is the planned funding level for the retrieval, certification, and shipment of transuranic (TRU) waste from the Hanford Site to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant for fiscal years (FY) 2009, 2010, and out-years? How does this compare to the budget for this work scope for FY 2007 and 2008? This is important work that has shown considerable progress in emptying the Hanford Site burial grounds of waste that has been in place far past the intended 20 years of storage. A percentage of these containers have badly corroded and breached, spilling radioactively contaminated waste and RCRA-regulated chemicals. The continuation of retrieval, certification, and shipment of TRU waste is needed to meet established Tri-Party Agreement milestones. If this work is not planned to be fully funded (i.e., at the same levels as FY 2007 and FY 2008 plus inflation) please explain why.
