Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

The project is being conducted in accordance with the project management requirements in
DOE O 413.3B, Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets, and all
appropriate project management requirements have been met.
Funds appropriated under this data sheet may be used to provide independent assessments of the
planning and execution of this line item project.
TRP II Overall Scope: Consists of seven (7) subprojects to be completed in three phases:
1. Replace existing Uninterruptible Power Supply with nuclear grade equipment and relocate from
the PF-4 to a new structure to allow simpler maintenance, proper exhaust, and to minimize
mixed waste generation.
2. Refurbish three existing air dryers, demolition of the fourth, and provide a cross connect between
the 300 and 400 area dryers so the 400 dryer can back up the 300 dryer within the PF-4. Modern
controls will also be provided.
3. Replace six existing PF-4 confinement doors to allow the facility ventilation system to maintain
pressure differential between the facility and the environment.
4. Replace existing Criticality Alarm detectors and circuits in the PF-4 with new and expandable
detectors and electronics.
5. Upgrade two Pu-238 water storage tanks cooling system within the PF-4.
6. Seismically brace and qualify high priority (ignition source and high material at risk) glovebox
stands in the PF-4 to meet safety requirements.
7. Upgrade the sampling system for the existing PF-4 exhaust stacks so that exhaust measuring
equipment meets industry standards.
Phase A: Glovebox Stand 1 and Air Dryers:
Air Dryers – Refurbish three existing air dryers, demolition of the fourth, and provide a cross connect
between the 300 and 400 area dryers so the 400 dryer can back up the 300 dryer within the PF-4.
Modern controls will also be provided.
Glovebox Stands Group 1 – Seismically upgrade the stands for 10 high priority gloveboxes to ensure
gloveboxes remain intact and do not topple during a seismic event.
Phase B: Glovebox Stand 2, Confinement Doors, and the demolition of PF-7 in support of the
UPS:
Glovebox Stands Group 2 – Seismically upgrade the stands for 14 high priority gloveboxes ensure
gloveboxes remain intact and do not topple during a seismic event.
Replace six existing PF-4 confinement doors to allow the facility ventilation system to maintain pressure
differential between the facility and the environment.
Demolition of PF-7 – The demolition of PF-7 will provide space for the new structure to house the
Uninterruptible Power Supply safety system.
