Innovative method used for radiological survey at FUSRAP site
- Bechtel National, Inc., Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
A pneumatically deployed membrane system was used to conduct radiological surveys of the pipes and drains at a Department of Energy (DOE) Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) site in Adrian, Michigan. Remedial action consisted of the removal of residual radioactive sludge and oil. The innovative technology was used to transport a high-sensitivity probe specifically designed for this application, through designated pipes and drains. Use of this system made it possible to survey over 1,000 linear ft of underground drain line in one week, with no significant safety hazards. This was the first time this technology had been field tested at a site, resulting in cost savings of more than $1.5 million.
