Nuclear Waste: Hanford's Well-Drilling Costs Can Be Reduced

Report Date March 4, 1993
Report No. RCED-93-71
Subject
Summary:

To clean up radioactive and hazardous wastes at its Hanford Site in Washington state, the Department of Energy (DOE) will sink nearly 900 monitoring wells over the next several years at a cost of more than $270 million. The wells are designed to provide information on the nature and the extent of soil and groundwater contamination. Recent studies have suggested that DOE could substantially reduce its costs for sinking the wells by using more efficient drilling methods. Although the Hanford Site contractors have implemented many of the recommended cost-saving measures, other actions could further reduce well-drilling costs. These actions include (1) adopting faster and less expensive well-drilling technologies, (2) using the well-drilling program's work force more efficiently, and (3) centralizing the management of the well-drilling program to improve its effectiveness. DOE and the Hanford contractors, however, have made little effort to take advantage of these opportunities.
