Hazardous Waste, Decontamination and Decommissioning and Clean-Up Workers' Exposure Assessment Feasibility at the Department of Energy's Fernald Site, Phase 1.

PB97207161

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Stevens, G. W.; Back, D. A.
Page Count	188
Abstract	The purpose of this document was to assemble information relevant to hazard waste (HW), decontamination and decommissioning (DD) and clean up work (CW) activities at the Department of Energy (DOE) Fernald site over the past few years and those planned in the next 5 to 10 years, to define demographically the workforce performing these activities, to identify the technologies in use or to be used, and to assemble summary information for potential chemical, mixed, and radiological contamination exposure which may occur during the process. This first phase of the study summarized decumentation regarding the work force for use as a foundation on which further studies will be built. Several regulatory drivers are discussed including the CERCLA Process, the RCRA Process, the FRMP Waste Management Program and specifics regarding radioactive wastes, asbestos waste, and polychlorinated-biphenyl contaminated wastes. Three select HW, DD, and CW activities per group were presented as case studies. These were based on actual historic activities at the site and further illustrated the fuction and responsibilities of these worker groups.
