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

Facilities include facilities management and support activities for mission operations. Preventive,
predictive, and corrective maintenance of process and infrastructure equipment/facilities are performed.
Environmental, safety, and health activities are conducted to ensure the well being of SRS workers, the
public, and the environment, as well as developing and providing updates to the Authorization Bases.
Contracted costs of providing utilities to the SRS Tritium Facilities are included. Capital equipment and
general plant projects that meet base maintenance and infrastructure needs are planned and executed to
maintain the safety, utility, and capability of the process facilities. Material Recycle and Recovery
involves recovery and purification of tritium, deuterium, and helium-3 gases from reservoir recycle gas,
hydride storage vessels, and facility effluent-cleanup systems. The SRS performs physical maintenance
of various shipping containers, and provides operational, regulatory, and technical support of Pressure
Vessels. The SRS also designs and tests replacement shipping containers for use within the DOE
Enterprise.
The SRS will implement an effective risk management program for cyber security to ensure protection
of NNSA information and information assets. In FY 2012, SRS will implement effective mechanisms to
identify cyber security vulnerabilities and threats to the computing infrastructure.
Secure Transportation Asset (STA)
The SRS provides management, quality assurance, personnel training, and preventative and corrective
maintenance services in support of the South Carolina Relay Station. This facility is a vital part of the
communications system dedicated to the tracking and safeguarding of STA shipments.
Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization Program (FIRP)
The FIRP has allowed the SRS to achieve a reduction of the baseline deferred maintenance to facilities
and infrastructure, including roof replacements, renovations to end-of-life electrical distribution systems
and fire protection systems, and replacement of HVAC systems. In FY 2012, FIRP funds will continue
to support high-priority projects that restore and rehabilitate mission critical facilities and infrastructure.
Specific projects planned include replacement of deteriorated fire protection systems. The SRS roof
assets will also be added to the inventory of the complex-wide Roof Asset Management Program
(RAMP) and become eligible for RAMP funded roof repairs/replacements.
Site Stewardship
In FY 2012, Site Stewardship efforts will be directed toward Energy Modernization and Investment
Program activities aimed at achieving Departmental energy efficiency goals. The 2012 EMIP activities
support priority energy conservation projects that will reduce energy consumption, enhance energy
independence and security and provide life-cycle cost effective benefits. Projects that provide the most
significant contribution towards achievement of NNSA’s energy goals and result in cost
avoidances/savings and social benefits will be selected from the EMIP Integrated Prioritized Project List
(IPPL) for execution. Nuclear Materials Integration efforts will continue to include analytical studies
and project management support for consolidation and disposition of plutonium, uranium and other
nuclear materials.
Defense Nuclear Security
The Defense Nuclear Security program at SRS provides security for the Tritium Facility consistent with
requirements documented in its approved facility Master Security Plan. In FY 2012, the security
program will also focus on defining NNSA’s role in MOX security in the outyears.
