PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) is a complex of radioactive waste treatment processing facilities designed and constructed by Bechtel National, Inc. for the Department of Energy (DOE). The facility will process the Hanford Site tank waste and convert the waste into a stable glass form.

The Project site is located in the 200 East Area of the Hanford Reservation near Richland, Washington, along the Columbia River. The site elevation varies from 662 to 684 feet above mean sea level. Ambient temperature range is -23 degrees F minimum to 113 degrees F maximum, with relative humidity of 5% minimum to 100% maximum. The project design life is 40 years.

SCOPE OF WORK

SUBCONTRACTOR shall perform field Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE) on pipe welds in newly fabricated pipe spools ranging from 0.5" to 26" diameter, to ASME B31.3 Code and other specific site requirements. NDE shall also be performed on structural welds in accordance with the AWS D1.1 and D1.6 Structural Welding Codes. NDE includes, but is not limited to:

Piping and Structural welds:
- UltrasonicThickness Testing (UTT);
- Manual Ultrasonic Testing (MUT);
- Conventional film Radiographic Testing (RT);
Note: RT shall include the ability to use Iridium192, Selenium75 radiation sources, and/or battery
powered pulsed x-ray generator.
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT);
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT);
- Positive Material Identification (PMI) using an X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer (XRF).

SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide all equipment and consumables associated with NDE activities.
NDE will be performed in all WTP facilities, i.e., High-Level Waste (HLW), Low-Activity Waste (LAW), Analytical Laboratory (LAB), Pretreatment Facility (PT), Balance of Facilities (BOF), and potentially the Material Handling Facility, including working outdoors.

QUALITY ASSURANCE (QA) REQUIREMENTS
Programmatic Quality Assurance requirements for subcontracts performed in the WTP Jobsite will be "NP" (non permanent or temporary work, generally no QA Program required), "CM" (commercial quality based the requirements in DOE Order 414.1C), and "QL" (nuclear level quality based on the requirements in ASME NQA-1 2000). Bechtel may require, as an element of bidder pre-qualification, submission of a representative sample QA Program or Table of Contents copy. For QL subcontracts, the successful bidder's QA Program must be approved prior to award of the subcontract.
