Swanson Steven Gaither May 25, 2007 • Final Report New South Associates Technical Report 1433 ii ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This documentation was prepared in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by the Department of Energy–Savannah River (DOE-SR) and the South Carolina Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) dated February 17, 2004, as well as the Consolidated MOA of August 2004. The MOA stipulated that a thematic study and photographic documentation be undertaken on A Area historic properties 703-A and 708-A. In addition, a Cultural Resource Management Plan was accepted and signed by DOE-SR and the SHPO on December 9, 2004 calling for documentation of the remainder of the A Area buildings that were deemed eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as contributing resources to a Savannah River Site (SRS) Cold War Historic District. The impetus for the study was the imminent decommissioning and/or dismantling of the majority of NRHP eligible buildings in A Area. The resulting narrative is based on field analysis, oral history, primary documentation and research. New South Associates prepared the narrative and Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) completed the photographic documentation. 700/A AREA iii ADMINISTRATION, SAFETY, SECURITY AND SUPPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks go out to the Savannah River Plant employees, past and present, who were willing to share their memories and provide oral histories, which were integral in telling this story: Shepherd Archie, Faye Baker, Curtis Boseman, Laura Cameron, Harold Harmon, Dell Harvey, Don Law, Mal McKibben, William Mottel, Nathaniel Stetson, and Raine Weimortz. Because of the multi-functional nature of A-Area, job tasks were extremely diverse and each of these persons provided a unique and interesting perspective. Thanks to Nick Delaplaine, DOE-SR, for shepherding the documentation through the review process. Thanks also to all the folks at Washington Savannah River Company who were so instrumental in coordinating the effort on site, with particular thanks to Linda Perry and Paul Sauerborn, as well as Joe Carter. Additionally, the authors would like to thank everyone with the WSRC Photo Services team for their assistance in providing documentation photography and for scanning a virtually infinite number of negatives: Tom Kotti, Steve Ashe, Byron Williams, Bruce Boulineau, and John Strack. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .........................................................................................................................................................................ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .................................................................................................................................................iii TABLE OF CONTENTS .....................................................................................................................................................iv ACRONYM LIST ................................................................................................................................................................. x I.

The proposed TS change (TS 03-16) will revise the limiting condition for operation for TS Section 3.7.9, "Ultimate Heat Sink." The maximum essential raw cooling water (ERCW) temperature limit associated with Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.7.9.1 will be annotated with a note allowing an occasional increase from 85 degrees Fahrenheit (0F) to 880F. This proposed change is based on recent evaluations of the ERCW system and the UHS functions and maximum temperatures that will satisfy the associated safety functions. In addition, an administrative change is proposed to clarify the maximum allowable internal containment pressure. Corresponding TS Bases changes are also included for the temperature increase for UHS and the containment pressure clarification including a minor change in the maximum calculated containment pressure resulting from the increased UHS temperature. 1--~56 Pa0ted.]n ,Ededpa U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 APR 0 7 2004 TVA discussed its plans for this proposal in a meeting with NRC staff in August 2003.

    Draft 2019 Report_13 February 2020 Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution Fourteenth Annual Report May 2020 DRAFT U.S. Department of Energy i Draft 2019 Report_13 February 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The September 7, 2012 Memorandum on Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution (ECCR Memorandum) issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) supersedes an OMB/CEQ joint memorandum issued in November 28, 2005, on Environmental Conflict Resolution and broadens the efforts called for under the 2005 memorandum by explicitly encouraging appropriate and effective upfront environmental collaboration to minimize or prevent conflict. The ECCR Memorandum defines ECCR as “third-party assisted collaborative problem solving and conflict resolution in the context of environmental, public lands, or natural resources issues or conflicts.” Recognizing the role of collaboration in conflict resolution and its history of collaborative approaches, both with and without third-party neutrals, to prevent or resolve environmental conflicts, the Department of Energy (Department or DOE) defines ECCR more expansively than the ECCR Memorandum. The Department defines ECCR as the use of any collaborative process to prevent or resolve environmental conflicts, whether or not the process involves the use of third-party neutrals. This definition is consistent with the spirit of the ECCR Memorandum which stated the following. The challenge of implementing Federal policies and programs can often be met with collaborative, constructive, and timely approaches to identify and address affected interests, consider alternatives, and reach solutions before different positions or opinions result in conflict. Collaborative efforts involving the public and policy and program coordination within and across multiple levels of government are important for addressing these challenges.

  • K Area Complex
    from the Savannah River Site ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP • NATIONAL SECURITY • SCIENCE AND ENERGY K Area Complex The K Area Complex (KAC) provides for the handling and interim storage of our nation’s excess plutonium and other special nuclear materials (SNM). In addition, K Area is a component of the U.S. commitment to international nonproliferation efforts to store plutonium in a safe and environmentally sound manner. The Savannah River Site (SRS) is the recognized leader for managing the plutonium surveillance program throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) Complex. The KAC is DOE’s only Category 1 SNM storage facility designated for interim safe storage of plutonium at SRS. The principal K Area Complex operations building formerly housed K Reactor, which produced nuclear materials to support the United States during the Cold War for nearly four decades. It was the DOE’s last operating production reactor, shutting down in 1992. The facility was chosen as the premier DOE Complex plutonium storage facility for several reasons: • It underwent stringent, well-documented seismic and structural upgrades during the early 1990s. • It is a robust building, constructed of concrete walls many feet thick. • Much of the security infrastructure was already in place. • Necessary modifications were relatively minor, compared to the alternative of constructing a new building. SRS has assisted the DOE Complex in saving millions of taxpayer dollars through the consolidation of surplus plutonium from SRS’s FB Line, as the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site in Colorado, the Hanford Site in Washington, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California.

  • Nuclear Power Summary – Licensing Actions August 2020
    NUCLEAR POWER SUMMARY – LICENSING ACTIONS AUGUST 2020 Congressional Legislative Action: o August 2020: • The American Nuclear Infrastructure Act of 2020, which was heard by the Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works on August 5, 2020, will enable U.S. international leadership, preserve America’s uranium supply chain, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen our economic, energy, and national security. • The Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (NELA), included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2021, was passed by the Senate on July 23, 2020. NELA will help facilitate the path to market for advanced reactors by allowing the federal government to be an early adopter of commercialized technologies; providing for needed scientific research facilities; demonstrating advanced reactor concepts; breaking down fuel availability barriers when the market cannot; and training the next generation of nuclear scientists. • The Nuclear Energy for the Future Act (HR 6796), which was introduced to the House on May 8, 2020, builds on the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA) to provide full authorization for the Versatile Test Reactor. • The Nuclear Energy Research and Development Act (HR 6097) was passed by the House Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Energy on March 12, 2020 and forwarded to the full Committee. This act would authorize many programs within the Office of Nuclear Energy, including further research and development on the existing fleet of reactors, advanced reactors, hybrid energy systems, and advanced fuels. • The Integrated Energy Systems Act of 2019 (S 2702), which was heard by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on December 17, 2019, would direct the Department of Energy to establish an integrated energy systems research, development, and demonstration program.
