Decision analysis science modeling for application and fielding selection applied to concrete decontamination technologies
- Florida International Univ., Miami, FL (United States)
The study is comprised of two phases. Phase I is partially complete. Field testing, which will complete Phase I, is scheduled to be conducted in July 1996. Phase I focuses on identifying standard and emerging concrete surface removal nuclear decontamination technologies. Nonnuclear industrial technologies will also be reviewed according to baseline technologies to determine their applicability to remediation objectives. The most promising technologies will be assessed at the Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology (HCET) on the campus of Florida International University (FIU). The assessment will provide comparable data related to operations and maintenance, health and safety, and secondary waste management issues. Enhancements and further testing requirements for the commercial as well as the industrial technologies will be considered. The compilation of comparable data in the areas of operations and maintenance, health and safety, and secondary waste management along with site-specific information related to labor rates, disposal costs, equipment and material costs, and schedule constraints will allow multiobjective or multicriteria decision-making techniques (MODM) to be employed, which constitutes Phase II. These MODM techniques will allow determination of the appropriateness of the different techniques used to perform concrete surface removal. Defensible decisions are paramount in serving the multiple goals of the United States Department of Energy`s operating mandate. This review and analysis mechanism will provide for an extension of the decision-making criteria beyond a simple cost-benefit analysis. A discussion of the development of the MODM model is not included in this paper however.
