Decontamination and decommissioning of a small surplus facility
The Idaho chemical Processing Plant (ICPP), located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), has been in operation for over forty years. As the plant operations have changed and been improved, some of the equipment and facilities have been taken out of service and let in place. Westinghouse Idaho Nuclear Company (WINCO), the operating contractor for the ICPP, is currently in the process of decontaminating and decommissioning surplus facilities as part of the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Restoration Decontamination and Decommissioning (D D) Program. There currently eight contaminated, surplus facilities that have been identified as requiring decommissioning at the ICPP, and additional facilities will be added to this list in future years. One of the first facilities that is being decontaminated and decommissioned at the ICPP as part of this program is the Chloride Removal System (CRS). This facility was shut down in 1981 and and is no longer required. In 1991 it was decided to remove the equipment and make the room available for other, non- radioactive uses. This project is intended to be the first step in a larger effort to decontaminate and decommission other surplus facilities at the ICPP. This document details the studies and planning involved in this project.
