This book was released on 1994 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an alternative evaluation document that records the evaluation process and justification for choosing the alternative recommended for the decontamination and decommissioning (D & D) of the 3506 and 3515 buildings at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The alternatives for the D & D of the two buildings were: (1) no action (continued surveillance and maintenance), (2) decontamination for free release, (3) entombment in place, (4) partial dismantlement, and (5) complete dismantlement. Soil remediation is not included in any of the alternatives. The recommended alternative for the D & D of Building 3506 is partial dismantlement at an estimated cost of $936, 000 in escalated dollars. The cost estimate for complete dismantlement is $1,384,000. The recommended alternative for the D & D of Building 3515 is complete dismantlement at an estimated cost of $3,733,000 in escalated dollars. This alternative is recommended, because the soils below the foundation of the 3515 building are highly contaminated, and removing the foundation in the D & D project results in lower overall worker risk, costs, and improved post-D & D site conditions. A further recommendation is to revise these cost estimates after the conclusion of the ongoing characterization study. The results of the characterization of the two buildings is expected to change some of the assumptions and resolve some of the uncertainties in the development of these estimates.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings 3506, the Waste Evaporator Facility, and 3515, the Fission Product Pilot Plant, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), are scheduled for decontamination and decommissioning (D & D). This Site Characterization Plan (SCP) presents the strategy and techniques to be used to characterize Buildings 3506/3515 for the purpose of planning D & D activities. The elements of the site characterization for Buildings 3506/3515 are planning and preparation, field investigation, and characterization reporting. Other level of effort activities will include management and oversight, project controls, meetings, and progress reporting. The objective of the site characterization is to determine the nature and extent of radioactive and hazardous materials and other industrial hazards in and around the buildings. This information will be used in subsequent planning to develop a detailed approach for final decommissioning of the facilities: (1) to evaluate decommissioning alternatives and design the most cost-effective D & D approach; (2) to determine the level and type of protection necessary for D & D workers; and (3) to estimate the types and volumes of wastes generated during D & D activities. The current D & D characterization scope includes the entire building, including the foundation and equipment or materials within the building. To estimate potential worker exposure from the soil during D & D, some subfoundation soil sample collection is planned. Buildings 3506/3515 are located in the ORNL main plant area, to the west and east, respectively, of the South Tank Farm. Building 3506 was built in 1949 to house a liquid waste evaporator and was subsequently used for an incinerator experiment. Partial D & D was done prior to abandonment, and most equipment has been removed. Building 3515 was built in 1948 to house fission product separation equipment. In about 1960, all entrances were sealed with concrete block and mortar. Building 3515 is expected to be highly contaminated.

Download or read book D and D Alternatives Risk Assessment for Building 3515 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge Tennessee written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the Level 3 Decontamination and Decommissioning (D and D) Alternatives Risk Assessment (DARA) performed on Building 3515 located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The goal of the risk evaluation process is to provide risk information necessary to assist decision making for Environmental Restoration (ER) Program D and D facilities. This risk information is developed in the baseline risk assessment (BRA) and in the DARA. The BRA provides risk information necessary for determining whether or not a facility represents an unacceptable risk and requires remediation. In addition, the BRA also provides an estimation of the risks associated with the no-action alternative for use in the DARA. The objective of this Level 3 DARA is to evaluate and document the potential risks to human health, human safety, and the environment associated with the proposed remedial action at Building 3515. A Level 3 assessment is the least rigorous type of DARA. The decision to conduct a Level 3 DARA was based on the fact that characterization data from the facility are limited, and currently only one remedial alternative (complete dismantlement) is being evaluated in addition to the no-action alternative. The results of the DARA along with cost and engineering information may be used by project managers in making decisions regarding the final disposition of Building 3515. This Level 3 assessment meets the requirements of the streamlined risk assessment necessary for an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA).

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the proposed action evaluated in this environmental assessment (EA) is the processing of uranium-233 ([sup 233]U) stored at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and other small quantities of similar material currently stored at other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites in order to render it suitable for safe, long-term, economical storage. The [sup 233]U is stored within Bldg. 3019A, which is part of the Bldg. 3019 Complex. The location of the Bldg. 3019 Complex is shown on Fig. 1.1. Additionally, the proposed action would increase the availability of medical isotopes needed for research and treatment and place the Bldg. 3019 Complex in safe and stable shutdown for transfer to the DOE program for decontamination and decommissioning (D & D). DOE has determined that there is no programmatic use for the [sup 233]U currently in storage at ORNL other than as a possible source of medical isotopes. Since [sup 233]U is a special nuclear material, continued long-term storage of the ORNL inventory in its current configuration represents a significant financial liability for DOE. Continued long-term storage in Bldg. 3019A would require major capital upgrades and retrofits to critical facility systems that have deteriorated due to aging or that may not meet current standards. Storing the material in its current form requires significant annual operating expenses to meet the material-handling requirements and to provide protection against nuclear criticality accidents or theft of the material. The ORNL inventory of [sup 233]U represents most of the readily available source of thorium-229 ([sup 229]Th) in the Western Hemisphere. Actinum-225 ([sup 225]Ac) and its daughter product, bismuth-213 ([sup 213]Bi), are isotopes in the decay chain of [sup 233]U/[sup 229]Th that are showing significant promise for ongoing cancer research, including clinical trials for treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia. These isotopes are also being explored for treatment of other cancers of the lungs, pancreas, and kidneys. Figure 1.2 shows a simplified example of the [sup 233]U decay chain. DOE action is needed to (1) render the [sup 233]U material suitable for safe, long-term, economical storage eliminating the need for safeguards, security and nuclear criticality controls; (2) provide isotopes for medical research for providing treatment for several types of cancer; and (3) remove the [sup 233]U material, allowing the building to be deactivated and transferred to the D & D program, which would reduce DOE's landlord costs and meet the requirements of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) Recommendation 97-1, which addresses the safe storage of [sup 233]U (DNFSB 1997). Recommendation 97-1 describes actions that the DNFSB considers necessary to ensure the safe storage of [sup 233]U-bearing materials in the interim and the longer term.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abandoned facilities were decontaminated and decommissioned in preparation for final remediation of Solid Waste Storage Area (SWSA) 4 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The facilities varied in age from approximately 5 years to more than 40 years, with radiological conditions ranging from clean to highly contaminated with fission products. A fixed-price subcontract (FPSC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Environmental Management (EM) Management and Integration (M & I) contractor for decontamination and decommissioning (D & D) of these facilities. Included in the FPSC scope were the following: preparation of pre-D & D regulatory documentation; demolition of surface structures to slab; stabilization of below-grade structures; waste management and disposal; and preparation of post-D & D regulatory documentation. Using stand-off techniques to the extent possible, building structures and ancillary equipment were prepared for demolition and demolished. A fixative coating system was used in conjunction with continuous water misting to control airborne contamination. Demolition waste consisted of two major streams: clean construction and demolition waste and low-level (radioactive) waste. The debris was size-reduced and packaged, again via remote means. At all times during the D & D, personnel safety, environmental compliance, and as low as reasonably achievable exposure considerations were paramount. Upon completion of D & D activities, each site was inspected and accepted by the M & I contractor. This project is a success story for fixed-price subcontracting of D & D work under DOE's M & I arrangement.

Download or read book Demolition of the Waste Evaporator Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, in conjunction with Allied Technology Group, Inc., successfully executed the decommissioning of a former waste evaporator facility at ONRL. This project was conducted as a non-time critical removal action under CERCLA. The decommissioning alternative selected for the Waste Evaporator Facility was partial dismantlement. This alternative provided for the demolition of all above-grade structures; concrete which did not exceed pre-established radiological levels were eligible for placement in the below-grade portion of the facility. This project demonstrated a coordinated team approach that allowed the successful completion of one of the first full-scale decommissioning projects at ORNL.
