Defense decontamination and decommissioning program
In the United States Department of Energy (DOE) established the Surplus Facilities Management Program (SFMP) to ensure the safe caretaking and decommissioning of both Civilian and Defense orphan'' (no longer part of any currently funded program) surplus facilities. The inventory of the SFMP includes approximately 300 facilities requiring remedial action. The facilities include production and test reactors, chemical processing plants, waste treatment disposal systems, laboratories, and various support facilities. The remedial actions planned for these facilities range from the decontamination of facilities with the potential for reuse, to the complete dismantlement of structures and site restoration to allow unrestricted use. This overview presentation is on the SFMP Defense Decontamination and Decommissioning (D D) Program, which includes only shutdown DOE-owned facilities used in national defense programs. Included in this presentation are descriptions of the seven Defense D D program sites, and descriptions of some of their activities. 46 figs.
