Independent Assessment of Environmental Radiation Protection for Planned Open-Air Demolition at the West Valley Demonstration Project
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA) conducted an independent assessment of the environmental radiation protection program associated with the planned open-air demolition of the Main Plant Process Building (MPPB) at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) from July to August 2021. This assessment was conducted remotely and therefore did not include an onsite evaluation of the implementation of the program by the prime contractor, CH2M HILL-BWXT West Valley, LLC (CHBWV). This assessment also evaluated the DOE WVDP Field Office’s processes for conducting oversight of demolition planning activities at WVDP.
