No new capabilities have been added to this Key Facility. Allactivities during the 1998–2002 timeframe occurred at levels well below those projected by the SWEIS ROD.The workload at the Shops is directly linked to research and development and production requirements.2.8.3 Operations Data for the Machine ShopsSince activities were well below projections by the SWEIS ROD, so too were operations data. The highestchemical waste generation was 26,474 kilograms generated in 2001, compared to a ROD projection of474,000 kilograms per year. Table 2.8.3-1 provides details.2.8.4 Cerro Grande Fire Effects at the Machine ShopsCerro Grande Fire effects on the Machine Shops and associated operations were minimal.
