Download or read book Decontamination and Decommissioning Activities Photobriefing Book FY 2000 written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major milestone was reached in Fiscal Year (FY) 2000--the completion of the Chicago Pile-5 (CP-5) D and D Project. CP-5, the first reactor built on the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) site, was a 5-megawatt, heavy water-moderated, enriched uranium-fueled reactor. It was the principal reactor on the Argonne site used to produce neutrons for scientific research from 1954 to 1979. The reactor was shut down and defueled in 1979, and placed in a lay-up condition. In 1990, funding was provided to begin the decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) of this facility, and work began in June 1991. D and D tasks were performed by both ANL-E personnel and subcontractor personnel from Duke Engineering and Services, Marlborough MA, under the management of ANL-E D and D Program personnel. In July 2000, the final project report was presented to the Department of Energy, and the facility was formally decommissioned and transferred to the landlord. Total project duration was 97 months, and total project cost was $29.5M. Also, in FY 2000, work began on the 60 Cyclotron D and D Project. An accelerator used for basic research, this facility produced beams of deuterons, helium ions, singly charged hydrogen molecules, and neutrons of a broad energy spectrum. This machine was built in 1952; operations ended in 1992. Late in FY 1999, MOTA Corporation, Columbia SC, was selected as subcontractor. MOTA used a custom-built 76-inch reciprocating saw manufactured by Reverse Engineering, Columbia SC, to cut the cyclotron's 220-ton steel yoke into blocks that were approximately 17,000 pounds each. This project is scheduled to be completed in March 2001. In addition to a photographic chronology of FY 2000 activities at the CP-5 D and D Project and the 60 Cyclotron D and D Project, brief descriptions of other FY 2000 activities and of projects planned for the future are provided in this photobriefing book.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Photobriefing Book describes the Decontamination and Decommissioning (D and D) Program at the Argonne National Laboratory-East Site (ANL-E) near Lemont, Illinois. This book summarizes current D and D projects, reviews fiscal year (FY) 1996 accomplishments, and outlines FY 1997 goals. A section on D and D Technology Development provides insight on new technologies for D and D developed or demonstrated at ANL-E. Past projects are recapped and upcoming projects are described as Argonne works to accomplish its commitment to, ''Close the Circle on the Splitting of the Atom.'' Finally, a comprehensive review of the status and goals of the D and D Program is provided to give a snap-shot view of the program and the direction it's taking as it moves into FY 1997. The D and D projects completed to date include: Plutonium Fuel Fabrication Facility; East Area Surplus Facilities; Experimental Boiling Water Reactor; M-Wing Hot Cell Facilities; Plutonium Gloveboxes; and Fast Neutron Generator.

Download or read book Decontamination and Decommissioning of the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor at Argonne National Laboratory written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR), located on the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) site, started operations in 1957. The initial rating was 20 MW(t). The rating was eventually increased to 70 MW(t) in 1959 and 100 MW(t) in 1962. The reactor was shut down in 1967 and all of the fuel was removed from the facility. The facility was placed in dry lay-up until 1986. ANL-E personnel started the decontamination and decommissioning (D & D) effort in 1986. Supporting equipment such as the external steam system and some of the upper reactor components, the core riser and the top fuel shroud, were removed at that time. Characterization of the facility was also undertaken. The contract to complete the EBWR D & D Project was issued in December 1993. The initial schedule called for the final effort to be divided into five phases that were to be completed over a four year period. However, this schedule was subsequently consolidated, at the request of ANL-E, to a thirteen month period, with the on-site work to be completed by the end of 1994. The EBWR D & D Project is approximately 88% complete. A small quantity of reactor internals remains to be volume reduced along with the removal of the SFSP water treatment system. Upon completion of this work the facility will be decontaminated and a final survey completed. The planned completion of on-site work is scheduled for July 1995.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago Pile 5 (CP-5) Reactor, the first reactor built on the Argonne National Laboratory-East site, followed a rich history that had begun in 1942 with Enrico Fermi's original pile built under the west stands at the Stagg Field Stadium of The University of Chicago. CP-5 was a 5-megawatt, heavy water-moderated, enriched uranium-fueled reactor used to produce neutrons for scientific research from 1954--79. The reactor was shut down and defueled in 1979, and placed into a lay-up condition pending funding for decontamination and decommissioning (D and D). In 1990, work was initiated on the D and D of the facility in order to alleviate safety and environmental concerns associated with the site due to the deterioration of the building and its associated support systems. A decision was made in early Fiscal Year (FY) 1999 to direct focus and resources to the completion of the CP-5 Reactor D and D Project. An award of contract was made in December 1998 to Duke Engineering and Services (Marlborough, MA), and a D and D crew was on site in March 1999 to begin work, The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2000. The Laboratory has determined that the building housing the CP-5 facility is surplus to the Laboratory's needs and will be a candidate for demolition. In addition to a photographic chronology of FY 1999 activities at the CP-5 Reactor D and D Project, brief descriptions of other FY 1999 activities and of projects planned for the future are provided in this photobriefing book.
