Deficient Oversight of Hanford Waste Treatment Plant Suppliers
Bechtel National agreed to pay a $170,000 to settle a Department of Energy (DOE) investigation into Bechtel National’s oversight of its vendors’ implementation of their commercial grade dedication programs during the construction of the Hanford, Washington Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. Deficiencies identified by DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security’s Office of Enforcement included inadequacy in determining the critical characteristics of materials and components, sampling techniques and lot formation that were not properly conducted, and methods used for material and component acceptance and acceptance testing that were not clearly defined. The deficiencies did not result in the receipt or installation of materials or components that did not meet established requirements and specifications.
