The Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant is being designed to be maintained so that a high plant availability goal can be achieved. The plant is being designed so that equipment disassembly, cleaning, repair, reassembly, and return to service can be conducted in an expeditious manner. The layout of the plant and of individual cells provides adequate accessibility, work clearance, laydown areas, removal paths, and handling areas. Wherever possible, the plant systems have been designed to provide capability for hands-on inspection and maintenance without undue hazard to maintenance personnel. Major sodium system components are removed by special transfer and bag-out techniques and placed in shielded casks when required. Systems and facilities have been provided for removal of sodium and decontamination of components, supported by Radwaste Systems which provide for control and disposition of radioactive wastes generated or released during maintenance.
