FUSRAP was established in 1974 to identify,investigate,and clean machine the uranium and thorium ores and metal used in the up or control exposure to residual contamination at sites that had first atomic bombs (see figure on page 4).FUSRAP sites supported MED or AEC activities. conducted many of the operations and processes used in early atomic weapons production and nuclear research.These sites are When the nation began developing atomic weapons during World typically smaller facilities,usually privately owned,that were War II,no government-owned infrastructure existed to provide the released for private use when their government contracts had specialized services needed to accomplish that task,so the federal been fulfilled. government contracted for services from private enterprises with the needed expertise and facilities. In August 1946,President Truman signed the Atomic Energy Act, which created the AEC,a federal agency that replaced MED and As government-owned facilities were developed,the contracted took over the responsibilities for atomic weapons and early facilities were cleaned up to standards in effect at the time atomic energy programs.AEC continued to contract with private and released for unrestricted use. industry to support the nation’s nuclear weapons and energy In the early 1970s,residual radiological contamination was programs until the late 1960s,by which time a government identified at some of the released sites.AEC initiated FUSRAP to industrial base had been established.AEC was reorganized as the review the radiological conditions at the early atomic energy Energy Research and Development Administration in 1975,and in program sites,determine if a given site was eligible for government 1977 that agency was reorganized as DOE,which was established cleanup,and remediate any remaining contamination to current as a cabinet-level agency that consolidated the energy-related standards at eligible sites. functions of a number of government agencies. During the 1940s,uranium ore was obtained from the Belgian Early Atomic Weapons Research and Production Congo or the western U.S.and Canada.Uranium oxide was In August 1942,USACE created the MED to develop the technology extracted from the ore and reduced to uranium metal.The metal and production facilities for the first atomic weapons.Popularly was sent to machining plants or to facilities that transformed the known as the Manhattan Project,MED hired contractors metal into a form that could be enriched to Uranium-235 (see throughout the United States to store,sample,assay,process,and sidebar on next page).Machined uranium metal was sent to 1 production reactors,primarily to Oak Ridge,Tennessee,or the Hanford Reservation in Washington State in the 1940s and the Savannah River Plant Radioactive Contamination at in South Carolina in the 1950s,to produce plutonium used to make nuclear FUSRAP Sites weapons.Plutonium and enriched uranium provided by other federal operations were then sent to weapons production facilities.

(Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Abstract There was no special governmental partnership between Britain and America during the Second World War in atomic affairs. A recalibration is required that updates and amends the existing historiography in this respect. The wartime atomic relations of those countries were cooperative at the level of science and resources, but rarely that of the state. As soon as it became apparent that fission weaponry would be the main basis of future military power, America decided to gain exclusive control over the weapon. Britain could not replicate American resources and no assistance was offered to it by its conventional ally. America then created its own, closed, nuclear system and well before the 1946 Atomic Energy Act, the event which is typically seen by historians as the explanation of the fracturing of wartime atomic relations. Immediately after 1945 there was insufficient systemic force to create change in the consistent American policy of atomic monopoly. As fusion bombs introduced a new magnitude of risk, and as the nuclear world expanded and deepened, the systemic pressures grew.

    WM2015 Conference, March 15 – 19, 2015, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Management of Technetium Contaminated Demolition Debris from the Gaseous Diffusion Plants at the East Tennessee Technology Park – 15422 Scott Anderson *, J Lane Butler *, Michael Ferrari *, Annette Primrose *, John Wrapp * *URS|CH2M Oak Ridge LLC ABSTRACT The demolition of the final section of the gaseous diffusion plant (GDP) facility formerly known as K-25 at the East Tennessee Technology Park was completed in December of 2013, with the final shipment of waste completed only six months later in June 2014. While most of the radioactive waste shipments would be considered "routine" by today's standards (lower activity waste was disposed onsite at the Environmental Management Waste Management Facility [EMWMF] and at some offsite commercial disposal facilities with higher activity waste making its way across country to the Nevada National Security Site [NNSS] disposal facility) the final section of K-25, consisting of six cascade "units", presented some unique technical and stakeholder challenges. Portions of this final section of K-25 were presumed to be heavily contaminated with Technetium-99 (Tc-99) based on sampling and analysis activities conducted during facility deactivation. Tc-99 is known to be highly mobile under a variety of environmental conditions, and is suspected to be potentially mobile in unmitigated landfill conditions, resulting in the need to implement additional engineered controls during facility demolition as well as throughout the management of the resultant waste. A variety of controls were implemented to ensure Tc- 99 mobility was controlled and possible consequences mitigated, including isolation and offsite shipment of highest Tc-99 concentration components, as well as construction of a "cell within a cell" at the EMWMF.

    Appendix A-2 Residual Radioactivity Evaluations for Individual Facilities FACILITY NAME: AC Spark Plug Flint, Michigan TIME PERIOD: 1946-1947; Residual Radiation 1948-July 2006 FACILITY DESCRIPTION: DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security Website: AC Spark Plug performed beryllium work for the AEC. Records indicate that approximately 10 men worked with beryllium at this location in 1947. Information about AC Spark Plug is found in health hazard surveys, shipping reports and in a MED history. The company continued to receive hundreds of pounds of beryllium for use under government contract into the 1960's. It is possible that some or all of this beryllium was being used for other, non-AEC projects. There was also a small amount of thorium procurement related to AC Spark Plug in the 1946-1947 timeframe. DISCUSSION: A memo from March 11, 1947, states that AC Sparkplug received 30 pounds of ThO3 and 960 grams of U3O8. Additionally, specific activities conducted with this material, final accountability or disposition and/or decontamination efforts are not contained within the reviewed documentation. Based on a lack of documentation it can only be assumed that residual contamination exists outside the listed period. INFORMATIONAL SOURCES: Sources of information reviewed during this evaluation included: DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security Website Memo from March 11, 1947, Shipments to AC Sparkplug EVALUATION FINDINGS: Documentation reviewed indicates that there is a potential for significant residual contamination outside of the period in which weapons-related production occurred.

    Publication Number: M-1392 Publication Title: Bush-Conant File Relating to the Development of the Atomic Bomb, 1940-1945 Date Published: n.d. BUSH-CONANT FILE RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC BOMB, 1940-1945 The Bush-Conant File, reproduced on the 14 rolls of this microfilm publication, M1392, documents the research and development of the atomic bomb from 1940 to 1945. These records were maintained in Dr. James B. Conant's office for himself and Dr. Vannevar Bush. Bush was director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD, 1941-46), chairman of the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) prior to the establishment of OSRD (1940-41), chairman of the Military Policy Committee (1942-45) and member of the Interim Committee (May-June 1945). During this period Conant served under Bush as chairman of the National Defense Research Committee of OSRD (1941-46), chairman of the S-1 Executive Committee (1942-43), alternate chairman of the Military Policy Committee (1942-45), scientific advisor to Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves (1943-45), and member of the Interim Committee (May-June 1945). The file, which consists primarily of letters, memorandums, and reports, is part of the Records of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Record Group (RG) 227. The Bush-Conant File documents OSRD's role in promoting basic scientific research and development on nuclear fission before August 1942. In addition, the files document Bush and Conant's continuing roles, as chairman and alternate chairman of the Military Policy Committee, in overseeing the army's development of the atomic bomb during World War II and, as members of the short-lived Interim Committee, in advising on foreign policy and domestic legislation for the regulation of atomic energy immediately after the war.

The fuel would contain the fissile material needed to support the fission process. The neutrons generated by the fission process had to be slowed by the moderator so that they could initiate addi- tional fission reactions. The heat that resulted from this process had to be removed by the coolant.
