Title: Fire hazard analysis for leachate tank enclosure 200 West Area/218-W-5 burial ground

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10194794

This document provides an analysis of potential fire and explosion hazards associated with enclosing the leachate tank of W-025 mixed waste trench. It addresses the requirements of DOE Order 5480.7A for fire hazards analysis. Fire potential was shown to be minimal. Organics and hydrogen generation in the leachate are of little or no concern. The maximum possible fire loss is concluded to be less than $5,000 and involve no radioactive material. The analysis recommended applying for a waiver to the requirement to install sprinkler systems.
