Smith, D L

This report describes the decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) of the MTR-603 HB-2 cubicle located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The HB-2 cubicle became radioactively contaminated during out-of-pile circulating water loop experiments conducted in the Materials Testing Reactor in the 1950s and 1960s. This report describes work performed to accomplish the D and D objectives of reducing the high radiation fields caused by contamination inside the cubicle, preventing future contamination spread, and making about 1400 ftS of floor space available for reuse. D and D of the HB-2 cubicle consisted of total dismantlement of the cubicle and its contents.
