1 Demolition of the railroad tunnel would allow truck access to cell 3 without backing down the<br />

2 long, narrow railroad tunnel. Also, part of the railroad tunnel work would be construction of a<br />

3 truck door at the tunnel's connection to 221-U (cell 3). This door would allow access to the<br />

4 building without disrupting ventilation of the canyon.<br />

would be drilled and pressure grouted in place and the bails would be removed.<br />

H.1.3.4 Hot Pipe Trench. The hot pipe trench is assumed to be contaminated. A review of<br />

historical photographs of the trench indicates that the trench contains intertwined, small-diameter<br />

piping. *;esto-Le&acv equinment placement is not planned for the hot pipe trench due to limited<br />

available space. Instead, the trench would be filled with grout to eliminate voids in the building<br />

structure. The initial preparation step for grouting the trench would be coating its interior<br />

surfaces with a fixative to contain surface contamination. After the coating is cured, the hot pipe<br />

trench would be grouted. Due !9 +he maze _r ^:_: _ t • , , ,<br />

. The interior volume of the pipes<br />

encased by the grout is very small and therefore assumed to have no effect on the stability of<br />

221-U. The volume of grout needed to fill the trench, 800 m3 ( 1,100 yd'), is estimated as 75% of<br />

it overall volume. The trench cover blocks would then be replaced. The cover blocks would be<br />

pressure grouted as described for the process cell cover blocks. After grouting, the bails would<br />

be removed from the hot pipe trench cover blocks.<br />

H.13S Remove Surface Contamination. To safely enter the building during its operational<br />

phase in this alternative, contamination survey results would be used to identify where<br />

decontamination activities are needed. Contamination would either be removed or fixed to the<br />

canyon surface to reduce the dose rate and contamination risk to the lowest possible level. Water<br />

jet, water blasting, or water-flushing activities would be more difficult if completed after the<br />

process cell drain header and cells are grouted because all water would need to be collected and<br />

taken to the 200 Area's l:.iquid Effluent Remediation Facility for treatment. If any surface<br />

removal work is identified, carbon dioxide blasting or scarifying would be the preferred mcthod<br />

for its removal instead of water blasting or flushing.<br />

After the building has bcen'surveyed and the contamination removal planned, the work would<br />

require scaffolding and wastewater collection systems to be installed and maintained, and<br />

disposal of wastewater during and after decontanmination.<br />

H.13.6 Fix Contamination on 221-U Interior Surfaces. It is assumed that surface<br />

contamination on the canyon walls, #ieercanyon deck s, and ceiling can be addressed with<br />

application of a fixative. This fixative would be applied after all equipment removal and<br />

grouting in the canyon is complete. It would address loose surface contamination during the<br />

demolition of the upper half of 221-U.<br />
