CX-016158: Hot Fuel Examination Facility- Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory Shielded Container Material Transfer Station

Time and Cost efficient materials transfers between the Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory (IMCL) and the Hot Fuel Examination Facility (HFEF) at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) building MFC-785 are needed. To address this need, the proposed action would modify the west and south walls in the HFEF hot repair area to facilitate transfer of materials between the IMCL shielded container and HFEF Hot Cells. Manipulators will be installed above the south wall window of the hot repair area, and an approximate 6 ft. x 5 ft. penetration will be constructed in the west wall of the hot repair area for connection of the IMCL shielded container. The hot repair area is a radiological contamination area, and construction activities in the hot repair area have the potential to generate radioactive waste.
