This paper concerns the decontamination experience gained during the decontamination and decommissioning (DandD) operations on the Loadout Hood within the 233-S Building. The retired 233-S Building (Plutonium Concentration Facility) is being decommissioned as a demonstration project to develop baseline cost, technology, and operational data for DandD of alpha contaminated facilities. The Loadout Hood within the facility is a plutonium nitrate loadout system highly contaminated with transuranics. The paper consists of a brief description of the facility and Loadout Hood, a summary of the engineering and field work performed, and an evaluation of the technology and methods used.
