The proposed action disassembles and relocates the Flow Loop Test System (FLTS) from Premier Technologies in Blackfoot to the Central Facilities Area
(CFA) for future assembly and use. The FLTS uses electrically heated elements and water and carbon dioxide coolant to test flow regimes and heat transfer. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) anticipates using the FLTS as a multi-use test bed coolant loop structure. Propylene glycol was used as a coolant outside the testing environmental to cool the system. The system will be drained prior to disassembly and transport to the INL Site, but trace amounts of propylene glycol may remain. Premier
technologies will dispose of contents drained from the system according to applicable requirements and regulations.
