Table 5.4.3-1. Electrical Power Concerns and Related ProjectsCONCERNSSwitchgear and circuit breakers in several locationsare old and obsolete for the current system and need tobe replaced.Step-down transformers, which supply all the electricpower to the Laboratory’s main technical area (TA-03)and the Los Alamos town site, are old and do notprovide adequate redundancy. At TA-03, the 50-yearoldtransformers (30 megawatt capability each) serve a50 megawatt-plus load. Because a single transformercannot address the entire load, there is no redundancy.The two existing 115-kilovolt transmission lines thatcarry all the bulk electric power for the Laboratory andLos Alamos County terminate on a common bus andtherefore lack true redundancy.The program to monitor usage, power quality, and logevents does not cover all applicable buildings andneeds to be expanded.TA-03 transformers are 50 years old and undersized.There is no redundancy to service the load.Portions of the 13.8-kilovolt aerial distribution linesare not adequate to carry the anticipated loads in 2011.Replacing existing conductors with heavier conductorsand adding new circuits to support them are requiredto accommodate these future loads.RELATED PROJECTS–CY 2002 AND BEYONDSwitchgear in several locations at the Laboratory is currentlybeing replaced. The design, delivery, and installation ofswitchgear and equipment was completed for Sigma duringCY 2002.The WTA 115 to 13.8 MVA (56 MVAcapacity) transformer was put into service during 2002 and,when operational, will allow the replacement of the TA-03transformers. Several other transformers are on the InstitutionalProjects List.To address electrical power redundancy and availability, theproject list includes projects to uncross the 115-kilovolt linesand to add a backpressure turbine at the power plant.The Laboratory’s metering network program, which monitorsusage, power quality, and log events from a central computer,has been expanded to include over 70 buildings. Fifty buildingswill be added to the program each year.The WTA 115 to 13.8 million voltamperes (56 million volt amperes capacity) transformer was putinto service during 2002 and, when operational, will allow thereplacement of the TA-03 transformers.Replacement work has been done at DARHT, WETF, the SCC,and NISC and will continue with other projects.Table 5.4.3-2. Sanitary Waste Disposal System Concerns and Related ProjectsCONCERNSIndividual pipe segments throughout the Laboratory haveinadequate slopes and require a high degree of maintenanceto remove built-up solids. A minimum flow velocity of twofeet per second is required.RELATED PROJECTS–CY 2002 AND BEYONDTA-03/58 gravity line.Replace broken sewer lines.The Cooling Tower Water Conservation project, plannedfor late FY 2003 completion, will use solid wastewatersystems consolidation water instead of potable water for aset of cooling towers.5-18SWEIS Yearbook—2002
Radioactive Liquid Waste. There are three treatment facilities for handling the Laboratory’s radioactiveliquid waste at TA-21, TA-53, and TA-50, and a collection system that consists of 22,000 feet of piping. Thepiping in the collection system is in good condition. The specific concerns and related projects for this systemare identified in Table 5.4.3-3.Table 5.4.3-3. Radioactive Liquid Waste Concerns and Related ProjectsCONCERNSTA-21 treatment facility is over 35 years old and in poorcondition. Inactivity has contributed to the generaldeteriorating quality and a number of storage vessels donot meet current practices for environmental protection.TA-50 treatment facility is over 35 years old and in poorcondition. The facility is undersized for handling itscurrent load of waste generated by approximately 1,800points at the Laboratory.Separated treatment operationsInadequate storage capacity could be overwhelmed by asurge of radioactive liquid waste.Flow meters at generator facilities do not function well andit is difficult to sample the radioactive liquid waste forcompliance with acceptance criteria.RELATED PROJECTS–CY 2002 AND BEYONDDecontamination and demolition of the TA-21 treatmentfacility.Repairs and upgrades to the ventilation system at the TA-50facility are needed to continue operations for the next 10years.Reliability improvements to the membrane system are neededto provide additional capacity.Upgrade the facility to enhance treatment efficiencies, relievesafety concerns, and address environmental concerns.Relocate/upgrade the high activity pretreatment operation tomeet space and safety needs.Add influent storage and instrumentation for continuedoperations.Add influent storage and instrumentation for continuedoperations.Central Steam System. The Laboratory has two primary sources of steam with the power plant in TA-03and the TA-21 distributed steam plant, with capabilities of 360,000 pounds per hour and 36,000 poundsper hour, respectively. The power and generator plants have the capacity to deliver three times the currentdemand, and this will accommodate future development in the TA-03 area. The steam distribution is primarilyunderground in over 20 miles of steel piping, which is well maintained and in good condition. The specificconcerns and related projects for this system are identified in Table 5.4.3-4.Table 5.4.3-4. Central Steam System Concerns and Related ProjectsCONCERNSSteam system condensate return lines are made of variousmaterials, only some of which have cathodic protection,and deterioration is rapid in some instances.A condensate return rate of 60% to 75% is being currentlyachieved and should be increased to improve central plantperformance.There are sections of the steam system that have had a highleak rate and therefore high repair requirements that needreplacement.RELATED PROJECTS–CY 2002 AND BEYONDTA-03 condensate lines.Power plant steam piping replacement, cooling towerpiping replacement, feed water piping, and condensatereturn piping.Flue gas recirculation ductwork.Water Supply System. The Laboratory has a target water consumption of 1,662 acre-feet per year. Waterdemand based on projected growth may require water beyond recent usage levels. In accordance with theLANL Site-Wide Water Conservation Plan (Beers 2001) key recommendation, an Interim Water ConservationCommittee has been established and an Acting Water Conservation Officer appointed.Potable water is obtained from deep wells located in three well fields. This water is pumped into productionlines, and booster pump stations lift the water to reservoir storage tanks for distribution. The well fields canSWEIS Yearbook—2002 5-19
