Appendix E- Detailed Description of Alternative 3: Do1JR1:2o0t-t 1<br />

Entombment with Internal Waste Disposal Rev. e1_pmrL<br />

I building demolition. The removal and disposal of legacy equipment to the process cells would<br />

provide a significant amount of isolation in 221-U as it is currently configured, after closure<br />

activities for Alternative 3, all parts of the 221-U Facility containing waste fill, regardless of the<br />

class of waste within, would be equally protected (contained) by an engineered barrier.<br />

Therefore, from the standpoint of long-term protectiveness, there is no advantage in reserving the<br />

process cells exclusively for Class C waste. However, cell 3 could have room for placement of<br />

F.11 Emplace Waste In 221-U Galleries<br />

12 Waste placement would start with container placement in the galleries. The waste would be in<br />

13 open-top cargo containers that would be placed on an individual steel frame with casters. Small<br />

14 rails would be installed on the gallery walls to guide the containers on a one-way trip into the<br />

15 galleries. Equipment and piping in the galleries that prevents container placement would be<br />

16 removed. After the waste containers are in place, each gallery would be grouted to provide<br />

17 support for the wastes and the environmental cap.<br />

19 Waste would be placed first in the lowest (electrical) gallery. In preparation, the south end wall<br />

of the gallery, located in the 276-U Solvent Recovery Facility, must be exposed. The concrete<br />

slab adjacent to the end wall would be cleared to allow vehicle access to the lowest gallery.<br />

A temporary structure would be erected so that containers could be prepared outside of the<br />

galleries. The concrete masonry unit block end wall must be removed and enlarged for waste<br />

container access. A new rollup door would be installed on this opening. The doorways from the<br />

271-U Office into the galleries could be left open to provide emergency egness, but would<br />

26 eventually be filled. A ventilation system for the galleries must remain functional during waste<br />

30 end of the canyon by truck in cargo containers (see assumptions for description) and would be<br />

31 lifted onto dollies staged at the open gallery end. They would be pushed as far as possible into<br />

the gallery with an electric forklift and then secured in place to prevent movement during<br />

grouting. The total length of the electrical gallery is separated by the railroad tunnel in two<br />

segments. The main segment of the electrical gallery on the south side of the railroad tunnel is<br />

225 m (740 ft) in length. This gallery segment could hold approximately 37 containers.<br />

36 A spacing of 6 m (20 fi) on center for the 5-m ( 16-ft) containers was assumed to allow for dolly<br />

37 length and container placement.<br />

There is a short segment of the electrical gallery on the north side of the rail tunnel. This gallery<br />

segment is about 12 m(40 ft) long and could store, at most, one container. The best use of this<br />

space would be to place loose material that is too long or tall to be placed in a container.<br />

42 A possible use for this space would be disposal of material from demolition of the 276-U Solvent<br />

('13 Storage Facility. After waste placement, this short segment would be closed off with forms and<br />

44 grouted from the pipe gallery level.<br />
