Navarro-ATL’s mission is to provide analytical services for the tank waste mission along with integrated and cost-effective support of Hanford Site contractors.
Navarro-ATL’s approach to operating and maintaining the 222-S Laboratory to meet the following objectives:
- Operate the 222-S Laboratory (a Hazard Category 3 nuclear facility) in a safe, compliant, effective, and efficient manner
- Maintain the facilities and equipment efficiently to provide increased reliability to meet mission needs
- Complete all client and customer requests in a timely, responsive, and effective manner—meeting or exceeding all client analytical and quality requirements
- Identify and implement efficiencies, and streamlining and operational improvement opportunities
- Demonstrate readiness to support enhanced operations to meet the needs of Direct Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) and continued Tank Farm mission sample analysis requirements
Our approach provides DOE with the capability, capacity, and reliability to effectively implement enhanced operations, reduce overall risk and cost, and maintain safety and compliance. For this, Navarro-ATL has identified innovations/efficiencies that improve reliability and capacity, reduce risk, and enhance safety of analytical and facility operations. These innovations include but are not limited to manipulator upgrades, replacement of the Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), and shift optimization.
In addition to historical Tank Farm operations support, Navarro-ATL will be prepared to fully support DFLAW operations with enhanced operations, including:
- Tank Farms and the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) technical support
- Tank waste pre-treatment and initial delivery to the Low-Activity Waste Vitrification facility
- Full DFLAW operations with 24/7 operations
