Decontamination and decommissioning of plutonium-contaminated facilities at the Hanford site

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5806216

A decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) program is being performed by Rockwell Hanford Operations to: provide surveillance and maintenance of the Rockwell controlled surplus contaminated facilities prior to D and D; formulate long-range plans and schedules for the surveillance and maintenance and subsequent D and D of these facilities; develop a broad-based planning system for application to all DOE D and D projects; develop new technology to increase the safety and/or efficiency of D and D operations; evaluate D and D technology through field testing and analysis; develop and standardize detailed work procedures and execute D and D operations on the basis of an identified long-range plan and schedule; and demonstrate the above objectives on a relatively small plutonium-separation process facility at Rockwell which is grossly contaminated.
