Decontamination and Decommission of Nuclear Facilities and Equipment

Decontamination and Deactivation of Nuclear Facilities and Equipment: shipyard is planning a major revitalization of the waterfront area. In order to move forward with this plan several older facilities and large pieces of equipment would have to be released from radiological controls in the proper manner. Facilities include buildings of various size and construction. Equipment includes large enclosures mainly composed of stainless steel. Contractor would be required to perform the characterization, decontamination, and decommissioning, of radiologically contaminated facilities and equipment. This may involve removal of structural components, equipment and furnishings; asbestos remediation (Class I, II, and Ill); asbestos cleanup (Class IV); paint removal; scabbling of concrete floors; removal of walls, floor tiles, buried piping, machinery, piping and ventilation systems. Industrial remediation of various non-hazardous and hazardous materials, such as PCBs, mercury, beryllium, and lead, which may or may not be incidental to the radiological decontamination and/or asbestos abatement of the facility. Environmental investigation and remediation activities conducted pursuant to local and federal regulatory programs, as required. The minimization, segregation, chemical and radiological characterization, and packaging of waste for disposal. Lifting and handling of large contaminated equipment or structures may be required. Perform all sampling of material to be removed for hazardous/radiological constituents prior to removal and disposal. Provide all temporary services to support work (i.e. lighting, ventilation, vacuum, welding, etc.). Shipyard will provide water and power. Provide crane and rigging services for removal of items. Removal and proper disposition of all lead. Remove all non-asbestos/asbestos insulation. Insulation may contain asbestos, sample and test as required for proper removal and disposal of insulation. Perform radiological release of identified locations as specified and generate a release report to be provided to NNSY for approval. All material removed will need the classification of waste determined, the waste shall be packaged (including packing, and blocking/bracing) in accordance with DOT regulations and turned over to NNSY for disposal. The contractor shall provide the necessary means required to accomplish the work in a safe, timely, and professional manner. Additionally, the contractor shall provide the necessary technical management, supervision, engineering, procedure preparation, labor, compliance oversight, quality control, work controls, reporting, cost accounting, waste characterization, and radiological and environmental controls required to perform each assigned task.
