The action described in this memorandum is the decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) of the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR) at the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois (ANL-IL) site. This action will accomplish the removal of all radioactive material associated with the facility from the Laboratory site and permit the release of the EBWR containment building for unrestricted use. The D and D of EBWR will be conducted in four phases. It will start with a detailed planning process followed by the removal of the secondary and auxiliary reactor systems and components, then the dismantling of the reactor vessel itself and, finally, the decontamination and restoration of the facility structure.
