Decontamination of Cells 6 and 7, Building 3019, Following Plutonium- Release Incident

Description: As a result of the evaporation explosion in the Radiochemical Processing Pilot Plant on Nov. 20, 1959, two cells were contaminated with plutonium to a transferable level of 10/sup 8/ d/m/100 sq cm. The area involved measures 40 by 20 by 27 ft high with a total surface area, including equipment, of 10,000 sq ft. The cells were decontaminated by a factor of 1000 in five months by removing loose equipment, debris, and shielding blocks and flushing with 430,600 liters of various decontaminating rea… more

Project CGC-897--Title I design, fission product storage in B-Plant

Description: A previous study described proposed facilities at B-Plant which integrate future fission product and waste calcination activities. However, in the reactivation of B-Plant in accordance with this study, heavy expenditures, above budgeted funds, would be required at an early date for Phase 1 process changes coupled with general rehabilitation work and facilities for updating of radiological control. Since waste calcination activities in B-Plant are not scheduled until Fiscal Year 1966, the expens… more
