Decommissioning handbook. First quarterly progress report, May 1--August 27, 1978
The objectives for this reporting period were to develop data on facilities and equipment at typical DOE owned/operated sites, and to contact individuals and organizations with decommissioning experience to explore state-of-the-art equipment and methods for decontamination and dismantling. Nuclear Energy Services has scheduled meetings in September at the DOE Richland office to meet with other contractors and discuss D and D methods and equipment available. Also, NES will tour the Hanford facilities to review unique characteristics which may require special treatment or handling. A tour of the West Valley, NY Reprocessing Plant has also been scheduled. During this report period, NES prepared drafts of handbook chapters which will be submitted to DOE. Results of the discussions mentioned above will be factored into the draft handbook chapters on metal cutting equipment, concrete demolition methods, and decontamination processes. Four handbook chapters are ready for submission to DOE. These include: estimation of radioactive inventory; removal of radioactive metals; removal of radioactive concrete; and cost estimating procedure.
