Task Order Purpose and Overview
 
The work activities and removal actions initiated through this SOW is regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980.  The primary objective of this Statement of Work is to complete the deactivation, demolition and disposition (D&D) of Building 3026 C/D hot cells, and to remove and disposition legacy material from Buildings 2026 and 3038 in preparation for D&D at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
 
C.2 
INTRODUCTION
 
 
C.2.1 
Task Background
 
 
C.2.1.1 
Building 3026 C/D Hot Cells D&D Project
 
Building 3026 was one of the original Clinton Laboratory buildings constructed to support the war effort. It was later used for a variety of processing and research activities.  Building 3026 C/D is a hot cell and laboratory facility comprised of two adjoining facilities separated by a common firewall with separate air handling equipment. Building 3026-C is located on the west side and Building 3026-D is located on the eastside.
 
The principal structure in Building 3026-D is a two-story, 5-ft thick concrete cell block, which is divided into two connecting radioactive material handling cells (i.e., hot cells A & B). The concrete cell block extends up to a maintenance cubicle above the cells. The facility also includes a second cell bank that is connected via an underground tunnel to Hot Cell A.
 
The two hot cell banks, which were utilized for storage, processing, conversion, and dispensing of radioactive isotopes remain in the Building 3026-C area. The interior hot cell banks and laboratories are constructed of reinforced concrete.

 
5

 
 
The facility's  main wooden structure is currently being demolished by DOE under a separate CERCLA removal action. The condition of the facility when this task order begins will be:  shields over the hot cell windows to protect from damage during the removal of the wooden structures. Liquid was removed from the windows in a previous work activity. Hot cell equipment, such as the manipulators, will be removed and all hot cell penetrations will be sealed. The exterior of the hot cell structures will be sprayed with a fixative material to fix any remaining contamination in place. Interior surfaces of the hot cells and associated ventilation duct work will be fogged with a fixative material to reduce the potential for loose contamination  during D&D activities.
 
There are a total of six structures that will be left standing following removal of the wooden structure. In 3026-C, there will be four structures, and in 3026-D, two structures.
 
 
C.2.1.2 
Building 2026 Legacy Materials Disposition Project
 
Building 2026, the Radioactive Materials Analytical Laboratory (RMAL), was constructed in 1964 and is considered to be in good condition. It is a two-story structure with a total area of approximately 26,641 square feet (ft2).  RMAL was previously dedicated to general analytical chemistry of radioactive materials. The facility is equipped with special containment and ventilation systems to handle high levels of radioactivity in hot cells (high gamma dose) and in glovebox systems (high levels of alpha).
 
Building 2026 is a Category 3 Nuclear Facility and is restricted to a nuclear material inventory below the ORNL Fissionable Material Control Limit. A range of fissionable radionuclides associated with analytical operations that historically occurred in the facility are identified in the Safety Analysis Report (provided under separate cover).
 
Also, based on historical knowledge, there is a low potential for beryllium contamination associated with the disposition of legacy materials from this facility.
 
Asbestos sampling has been performed in the facility and some asbestos has been remediated or marked to indicate asbestos-containing material. Most floor tile in the original building contains asbestos, but appears to be in good condition.
 
Vinyl tile mastic for the facility's  floor tile contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and is registered in the ORNL PCB database. No other PCB-containing equipment was identified in the PCB database for Building 2026, but the potential exists for other PCB-containing material to be identified during characterization.
 
 
6

 

Positive sampling results for lead have occurred in select areas of the building. Other forms of lead have been found in the facility including lead bricks, lead pigs, as well as lead-lined drums and shipping containers. Lead in the facility has been included in the legacy material inventory. Some lead may be suitable for recycling.
 
Two chemical control areas are located in Building 2026. Some of these chemical can be slated for reuse.  The remaining inventory of chemicals is located primarily in laboratories.
 
Radiological contamination that exists in Building 2026 is relatively well characterized and controlled.  Current survey data exists for most equipment; including gloveboxes, fume hoods, and other ancillary equipment.
 
Remote-handled (RH) radiological waste is stored in the facility is estimated to be fairly limited [~72 cubic feet (ft3).
 
 
C.2.1.3
Building 3038 Legacy Material Disposition Project
 
Building 3038, the Isotope Development Laboratory, was constructed in 1949. It is a single-story structure with a small basement and has a total area of approximately 6,900 ft2. For many years, the facility was dedicated to radioisotope shipping, with the entire east portion of the building housing the analytical chemistry equipment and analyses of short-lived radioisotopes were conducted prior to shipment. The western portion of the building became the Alpha Handling Facility, used for fabrication of actinide targets. The east portion of the building was converted into both a research and development facility and an isotope production facility. The hot cell and counting room facilities were converted into a development  laboratory.
 
Building 3038 is a Nuclear Hazard Category 3 facility, with a non­ nuclear hazard classification of "High." Non-standard  hazards identified at Building 3038 include radioactive materials located throughout the building in hot cells, gloveboxes, and within containers located within the facility and outside along the northeastern wall of the facility. Radioactive contamination, both fixed and loose, exists throughout the facility.
 
The building has four laboratory rooms: the Northeast Lab, the Southeast Lab, the Hot Lab, and the Cold Lab. The Shipping/ Barricades area contains two Lazy Susan-type holders (carousels), which hold legacy materials. They are located below ground level and are covered with a lead shield when not being accessed. The Alpha Handling Facility contains five hot cells. The Alpha Handling Facility Annex contains seven glove boxes. A total of 15 glove boxes, 12 fume hoods, and six hot cells are contained within the facility.
 
 
7

 
 
The facility has three separate ventilation systems which are active for the various hot cells, gloveboxes, and laboratories.
 
 
C.2.1.4
Building 3517 Legacy Material  Disposition Project (Optional)
         
The Fission Product Development Laboratory (FPDL), also designated as Building 3517, is a nuclear facility that no longer has a programmatic mission and has been transitioned to the Environmental Management Program to be deactivated and decommissioned. The facility is partially deactivated and is undergoing transitional surveillance and maintenance (S&M) and limited deactivation activities pending the final decommissioning of the facility.  Although all process-related activities have been discontinued in Building 3517, the facility still contains radioactive and hazardous materials.
 
Building 3517 was utilized for recovery of long-lived fission products from aqueous waste, purification and pelletization of radiation source materials, and testing of new procedures for source fabrication. The facility was originally designed and built to recover fission products from waste generated in reactor fuel reprocessing operations and the processing and recovery of other reactor produced isotopes. The facility consists of administrative offices, process cells, manipulator and service cells, tank farm cells, and an electro-polisher. Legacy materials requiring disposition may include: solid mixed waste, remote-handled (RH) waste liquid mixed waste, solid low-level waste (SLLW), RH-SLLW, Greater-Than -Class-C waste, low level oils, and reuse/recycle material. Facility upgrades/modifications may be needed prior to initiating legacy material removal.
