K Basin Hazard Analysis
- FH
The 105-K East (KE) and 105-K West (KW) Basins in the 100 K Area of the Hanford Site have been used for storage of irradiated N Reactor and single-pass reactor fuel. Remaining spent fuel is continuing to be stored underwater in racks and canisters in the basins while fuel retrieval activities proceed to remove the fuel from the basins. The Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project is adding equipment to the facility in preparation for removing the fuel and sludge from the basins. In preparing this hazard analysis, a variety of hazard analysis techniques were used by the K Basins hazard analysis teams, including hazard and operability studies, preliminary hazard analyses, and ''what if'' analyses. This document summarizes the hazard analyses performed as part of the safety evaluations for the various modification projects and combines them with the original hazard analyses to create a living hazard analysis document.
