Site Background

• 3,556 acres total• > 500 structures / facilities• 4 main process buildings• 1,760 process components

• Groundwater source contamination• Soils remediation• Future D&D • Pump-and-Treat optimization

www.energy.gov/EM 3

• Paducah enrichment and support facilities were leased to USEC Inc. in 1994.

• In April 2014, USEC stopped enrichment operations.• In August 2014, USEC formally submitted a letter to PPPO

announcing its intention to return its leased facilities, including PAL, back to DOE.

Accomplishments

Deactivation and Environmental Remediation• Drained, packaged, and shipped lube oil from process buildings some

of which will be reused as a cleaning agent.• Began removal of R-114 refrigerant from the gaseous diffusion plant

for safer deposit removal activities.• Two of the ten systems that will remove uranium deposits from the

gaseous diffusion plant, the first of their kind, are on site.• Completed switchyard consolidation to better suit the changing needs

of the plant site. • Identified 11 facilities for D&D to support footprint reduction.• Deep soil mixing to remove TCE contamination from soil is more than

50% complete.

C-410/420 Demolition

• Demolition of the 116,000-square-foot C-410/420 Feed Plant was completed on May 14, 2015.

• 2,600 panels of cement asbestos siding and 9,000 feet of pipe are among the more 4,700 tons of waste safely removed prior to demolition.

C-410/420 Demolition

Constructed in 1956 the C-410/420 Feed Plant was used to produce uranium hexafluoride (UF6) for uranium enrichment in the plants cascades.

• The 85-foot tall Feed Plant began demolition in 2011 with the ~30,000-square-foot Eastern-Third. Crews had to remove system piping and other equipment prior to the final stages of demolition in 2014.

www.energy.gov/EM 10

C-410/420 Demolition

• Wastes were loaded into 114 rail-cars and shipped to Clive, UT, including over 110,000-square-feet of building material.

• The amount of waste generated from decontamination and demolition would cover one football field 15 feet deep.

Fissile Deinventory

• Developed program to handle fissile material as part of the fissile deinventory project.

• Over 100 people were trained to safely remove fissile material in facilities that have ceased operations.

• Almost 230 pieces of fissile waste from the C-720 Maintenance and Stores building have been removed. 162 total containers of waste have been generated.

www.energy.gov/EM 13

Waste Management

FY15 Waste Management

• Dispositioned more than 160,000 gallons of lube oil from the process buildings

• Dispositioned more than 25,000 gallons of PCB transformer oil from Building C-337

• Developed four authorization limit packages for offsite treatment/disposition of lube oil and PCB transformer oil; and

• Performed a paper and site Audit of the Veolia Incinerator Facility in Port Arthur, Texas.

www.energy.gov/EM 14

FY 2016 Planned Work

• Continue Uranium Deposit Removal • Continue Deactivation:

• Refrigerant • Lube Oil• Utility Optimization• Small, unused facility D&D

• Pump-and-Treat Operations • Southwest and Northeast Plumes• Regulatory documentation of the On-site Waste Disposal Option• Waste Management and Removal from several facilities and areas

www.energy.gov/EM 15

Waste Generation

• The lube oil removal project has shipped almost 200 tons of waste offsite in tanker trucks.

• An additional 160 tons of PCB oil from PCB transformers have been remove and shipped offsite in containers.

• Removal of theses wastes are crucial to moving forward with future D&D activities.
