Quality Level: 10CFR830.120
Soil/Groundwater Remediation Equipment Project
Designed, fabricated, tested, and installed structures and equipment to excavate, convey, condition, and package about 725 tons of radioactively contaminated soil and debris at a fuel cycle facility following demolition of a building on the plant site.
Retrieved mixed transuranic waste (250,000 gal of liquid and 87,000 gal of sludge) from underground storage tanks. Developed the sampling and analysis program for the north and south tank farms to determine the physical and radiological properties of the waste supernate and sludge. Developed and tested remotely operated equipment for further waste sampling; tank videographics; waste measurement and mapping; and dislodging, conveyance, and transfer.
