NGSI Summer Seminar Series Findings BC Schwarz Matthew Mullens Jesse Fritz Katrina Kaldenbach Erik Ellis August 1, 2011
Safety • HFIR/REDC • Limited access areas, signage, barriers • Safety showers, PPE, required site training • Radiation scan at end of tour • High amounts of shielding against high-flux neutrons • Safeguards Laboratory • Closed-toed shoes/Long pants • Graphite Reactor • Handrails on stairs to second floor
Security • HFIR/REDC • Gated entrance • Prox card scanners • Log book • Cameras focused on spent fuel area • Follow NRC guidelines for transport between HFIR and REDC • Safeguards Laboratory • Prox card scanners • Limited access to source cage • Graphite Reactor • Barb wire fence guarding 233U stockpile • No scanner for building • Tours common
Inspection • HFIR/REDC • Periodic shut down for reactor maintenance/inspection/refueling • Safeguards Laboratory • Detectors/Imaging for inspection • Graphite Reactor • Not operated anymore…no inspection
Material Control and Accountability (MC&A) • HFIR/REDC • Non-destructive analysis of material samples using Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) for forensics • Safeguards Laboratory • Detectors/Imaging equipment for NDA and holdup determination • Graphite Reactor • Old control room for material balances • Not operated anymore…No MC&A
