<div><div>
</div><p>The INWM program comprises approximately 50 staff across three departments, supporting Sandia's role as scientific advisor to the Department of Energy's Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Sandia's involvement with WIPP began in the fall of 1974, and our Carlsbad office was established in 1994, reflecting the enduring importance of this work. WIPP, operated by Salado Isolation Mining Contractors, LLC under contract to CBFO, is the world's only licensed and operating deep geologic repository for the disposal of transuranic waste. Its significance to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will only increase with new plutonium pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory, as WIPP remains the nation's sole repository for defense-related nuclear waste. Sandia National Laboratories - Carlsbad provides scientific advice to CBFO in areas such as modifications to the repository's operating permits, periodic recertification, ongoing monitoring of repository performance against regulatory requirements, and optimization of the national transuranic waste complex. The Quality Assurance team oversees the SNL WIPP quality program to ensure that work products meet or exceed customers' needs and expectations. Our work is vital to ensuring the future of nuclear waste management in the United States.</p>
