The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Decontamination and Decommissioning (D D) Program is part of the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Restoration D D Program and has continued to provide surveillance and maintenance (S M) support for 34 surplus facilities. The objectives are (1) to ensure adequate containment of residual radioactive materials remaining in the facilities, (2) to provide safety and security controls to minimize the potential hazards to on-site personnel and to the general public, and (3) to manage the facilities in the most cost-effective manner while awaiting decommissioning. This support has included work in three principal areas: (1) S M planning, (2) routine S M, and (3) special projects designed to correct serious facility deficiencies beyond the scope of routine maintenance.
