Glovebox linesWaste transfer2.1.4 Cerro Grande Fire Effects at the Plutonium ComplexOn Monday, May 8, 2000, LANL officially closed because of the Cerro Grande Fire. At 1328 hourson May 10, because of worsening fire conditions, Building TA-55-4 was put into off-normal operationsstatus (e.g., normal operations were terminated, some of the facility systems were shut down, and programoperations that relied upon those systems required alternative services). In addition, zones 2 and 3 ventilationsystems were shut down to reduce intake ventilation airflow. Ventilation systems in all other support buildingsat TA-55 were also shutdown in an effort to mitigate facility damage from heavy smoke and blowing embers.At 2130 hours, because of fire encroaching on the fenced perimeter intrusion detection and assessmentsystems area surrounding TA-55, Building TA-55-4 was completely shut down and entombed (e.g., allmassive vault-type doors were shut and locked). Shortly thereafter at 0010 hours on May 11, OperationsCenter personnel were ordered to evacuate. Protection Technology Los Alamos (PTLA) continued to performrounds to ensure that the security envelope at TA-55 remained intact. On May 12, a limited number of facilityoperations personnel returned to TA-55 for an initial condition assessment. Power was partially restored torecover security and fire suppression systems. Building TA-55-4 was found to be stable with no indicationof contamination. The uninterruptible power supply system, Operations Center ventilation, and vault coolingsystem were re-energized. A Facility Recovery Plan was written, approved, and implemented in the days thatfollowed. On May 15, the facility again resumed around-the-clock manning of the Operations Center. On May22, all Building TA-55-4 systems were operable and Building TA-55-4 was again placed in full operationsstatus.Although fire encroached on the fenced perimeter intrusion detection and assessment systems areasurrounding TA-55, none of the buildings suffered serious fire damage.2-44SWEIS Yearbook—2002
2.2 Tritium Facilities (TA-16 and TA-21)This Key Facility consists of tritium operations at TA-16 and TA-21. Tritium operations are conductedprimarily in three buildings: The WETF (Building TA-16-205), the TSTA (Building TA-21-155), and theTSFF (Building TA-21-209). Limited operations involving the removal of tritium from actinide materialare conducted at LANL’s TA-55 Plutonium Facility; however, these operations are small in scale and thisoperation was not included as part of the Tritium Facilities in the SWEIS. The tritium emissions from TA-55,however, are included in the TA-55 Key Facility.The three facilities, (WETF, TSTA, and TSFF) had tritium inventories greater than 30 grams during the1996–2002 timeframe and thus are Category 2 nuclear facilities. However, the scope of the tritium activitiesat TSTA and TSFF is now being reduced. Programmatic activities at TSTA have been discontinued. Onlywork supporting tritium inventory removal and facility deactivation is now conducted at TSTA. Thetritium inventory at the end of 2002 was estimated to be less than 20 grams. During 2003, the inventorywill be reduced to less than 1.6 grams and it is expected that LANL and DOE will reclassify the facilityto a radiological facility (less than 1.6 grams tritium). TSTA will be placed in a stable surveillance andmaintenance mode until decommissioning and demolition funding become available.Programmatic activities at the TSFF are also being reduced and are expected to be moved to WETF andTA-16-202 in 2003. The TSFF transition to radiological facility is estimated to occur in 2006. When fundingbecomes available the TSFF will be deactivated.As shown in Table 2.2-1, the Nuclear Hazard Classification of these three facilities has remained constant.Although WETF was separated into its three component buildings in the SWEIS, it is now considered a singlebuilding.Table 2.2-1.

Whenthe WETF Safety Analysis Report is approved and an operational readiness review is completed, TA-16-205, -205A,and -450 will be considered one facility.bcdef2.2.1 Construction and Modifications at the Tritium FacilitiesProjected for the Tritium Facilities: The ROD projected extending the WETF tritium operations intoTA-16-450.Actual for WETF: No major upgrades were made to the WETF at TA-16 during the period 1996-1998.However, significant remodeling to the adjacent building, TA-16-450, was begun with the goal of extendingthe WETF tritium processing area into Building 450 (as was projected by the ROD). The remodeling of TA-16-450 continued in 1999 and was completed in 2000. No major upgrades were made to the WETF atSWEIS Yearbook—2002 2-45
