The BAPG presents...
October Member Meeting
(PDH Approved)
Come join us for one of two talks...
(Due to some new processes at the U.S. Department of Energy, we are still waiting on approval of the originally scheduled talk. If bureaucratic processes hold it up, we will still hold a meeting with an alternate talk.)
West Valley Demonstration Project Main Plant Process Building Decommissioning - Lessons Learned
presented by Scott McCabe, P.G. & William Frederick, PA P.G., U.S. Department of Energy
The West Valley Demonstration Project recently achieved a significant milestone in the project lifecycle by successfully decommissioning and demolishing the above-grade portion of the Main Plant Process Building (MPPB). The open-sir demolition required highly technical engineering and radiological analyses of building conditions, environmental controls, and health and safety protocols. The presentation will describe the various means and methods employed to safely and compliantly demolish the upper MPPB, along with lessons learned that will be applied to the removal of the below-grade portion of the MPPB and associated soils.
