APPEND TX CSummary of the meeting held on April IS, 1996, at the Argonne National Laboratory on the subject of the DOE Large-Scale Technology Demonstration Program associated with the D&D of the Chicago Pile 5 (CP-S) Reactor Trip Report by Trish Baisden and Frank Crimi for the NRC Subcommittee on Decontamination and Decommissioning Submitted June 3, 1996 Attendees Dick Baker DOE Chicago Operations Office Rob Rose Project Manager, Technology Development Division, Decon tamination and Decommissioning Projects, D&D Project Engi neer for CP-5, ANL David Black Waste Management Engineering, Technology Development Division, ANL Tom Yule Manager, Waste Management Program, Technology Develop ment Division, D&D Program Leader for CP-5, ANL Jerry Hyde DOE HQ, EM-50 Steve Bossart METC, Morgantown, WV Frank Crimi Lockheed Environmental Systems, NRC Subcommittee on D&D Trish Baisden Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, NRC Subcommit tee on D&D The meeting summary and response to questions represent our understand ing gained during this visit with DOE and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL)

ANL commented that the DOE METC solicitation required that the proposal incorporate the Integrating Contractor Project Management concept (i.e., integrating industry, university, national laboratory, and international expertise to accelerate technology progress) and that the proposals be endorsed by and submitted through a DOE field operations]

For example, the ANL CP-5 D&D Project Engineer who was present at the meeting was the Project Manager for the recently completed D&D efforts on both the B-200 M-Wing hot cells and the B-212 D-Wing Plutonium Gloveboxes at ANL. Another example given was an individual who was the Project Manager for the recently completed D&D of the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR)

3M Reasons Selected Commercial nuclear experience and demonstrated cost effective management practices Experience with commercializing technologies, particularly in the international marketplace 17 universities were evaluated; chose FIU because of its expertise in decontaminating concrete 3M has several technologies that may be costeffective alternates to baseline technologies of the CP-5 reactor demonstration Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) Interface with commercial utilities Argonne National Laboratory Site of facility to undergo D&D In developing a list of potential partners for the Strategic Alliance, did DOE issue a Commerce Business Daily (CBD)

ANL expects the D&D of CP-5 to be a good place to learn how to work in a radiation area because of the relatively low radiation levels associated with CP-5. However, the increased cost associated with training workers and working in a radioactively contaminated area will be representative of future applications of D&D technology.

oped to cover the cost share commitment associated with the Technology Providers, as well as issues related to liability and intellectual property. A Cooperative Agreement is being used that incorporates commercial business practices rather than the FAR requirements.

Duke Engineering & Services is handling all of the administrative details for the Strategic Alliance and will be tasked with writing all the contractual agreements with technology providers for the LSDPs. In early 1996 METC asked for a separate proposal to be submitted for the LSDP for CP-5, but this time the proposal was to be from the Strategic Alliance on behalf of ANL and not from DOE-CM.

Technology demonstration will be done in two phases: 1. Test plan development and safety analysis (may stop here because of facility specific issues)

For benchmarking cost estimates, DOE-CM Operations Office used TLG Services, Inc., a company similar to NES, to validate cost estimates independently. ANL also believes that it gained some valuable experience in this area with the D&D of the EBWR.

; · Pipe ExplorerTM Science and Engineering Associates-developed technology for characterization of contamination in underground drain and ventilation piping (expected late April 1996~; · Rotopeen 3M-developed technology for the removal of fixed contamination from rod storage hole liners. This is a scabbling technique using tungstencarbide blades, but there is an issue involving use of the Rotopeen in a radiation environment.

Duke Engineering will write contracts that will have a termination clause if technologies are not working out. Technology providers will not be paid until the negotiated milestones are met.

waste, ANL argued that its work falls more naturally solely under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (RCRA legislation was designed to regulate the production, handling, disposal, and reporting of hazardous wastes)
