Closure of the Fast Flux Test Facility: Current Status and Future Plans.

DE2005838775

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Burke, T. M.; Farabee, O. A.; Crow, S. H.; Witherspoon, W. V.
Page Count	16
Abstract	Deactivation activities are currently in progress at the Fast F1ux Test Facility. These deactivation activities are intended to remove most hazardous materials and prepare the facility for final disposition. The two major hazards to be removed are the nuclear fuel and the alkali metal (mostly sodium) coolant. The fuel and coolant removal activities are proceeding well and are expected to be complete in 2006. Plant systems are being shut down as allowed by completion of various fuel and coolant removal actions. A Decommissioning Environmental Impact Statement is in progress to evaluate a range of potential final disposition end states.
