Deactivating and Decommissioning Facilities at the Savannah River Site

In September 2003, Westinghouse issued the current version of the Savannah River Site Environmental Management Integrated Deactivation and Decommissioning Plan. This plan described the projected end states for Savannah River Site facilities, waste tanks, and waste sites; the anticipated sequencing and timing of deactivation and decommissioning activities; and the composite costs to achieve those end states. As part of its contract, Westinghouse was tasked by the Department to deactivate and decommission 225 specific facilities at the Savannah River Site by the end of FY 2006.
