Environmental, health, safety and socioeconomic activities for fluidized-bed combustion

Technical Report · Thu Jun 18 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:5186534

An overview is provided of environmental, safety and health, and socioeconomic (EHS and S ) activity with regard to the US Department of Energy (DOE) fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) program managed through the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC). Included are the following: descriptions of and schedules for the 11 atmospheric and pressurized FBC units for which DOE FE has management responsibility; descriptions of EHS and S activities required for compliance or otherwise recommemded as best practice at these units; and schedules and estimated costs for accomplishing these activities. The methodology for identifying EHS and S activities, applicable to any specific project, is presented. A brief discussion of the DOE structure for managing these activities is also provided. Costs for accomplishing EHS and S activities were estimated for FY's 1982 through 1987. The cost information for required EHS and S activities provides a baseline from which to project overall program expenditures for these activities. The information on compliance activities and recommended practices presented here can be integrated with plans and cost estimates for FBC EHS and S R and D efforts to form a program plan for resolving EHS and S issues.
