Conference ·
OSTI ID:5790618
This paper describes the emergency planning structure and experience at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The FFTF is a 400-MW thermal sodium-cooled, three-loop, fast test reactor operated by Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) for the US Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory facilities twelve miles north of Richland, Washington on the Hanford Reservation. The DOE maintains an overview of the emergency situation and manages all off-site interfaces and keeps the option of taking over, if necessary. WHC has responsibility for the management direction, and control of all on-site emergency resources. This responsibility is carried out through the WHC Emergency Control Center (ECC) in the Hanford 300 Area facilities five miles north of Richland.
