PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE

SM-1 REACTOR FACILITY LOCATED AT FORT BELVOIR, VA

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Department of the Army (DA) is authorized to build and operate nuclear reactors under Section 91.b.

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Section 91.b authorizes DOD to procure and utilize special nuclear material in the interest of national defense and to acquire utilization facilities, i.e., reactors for military purposes. Section 110.b of the Atomic Energy Act excludes such utilization facilities acquired by DOD from any of the licensing requirements of the Atomic Energy Act. As part of the Army Reactor Program, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for nuclear reactor engineering and design, reactor construction, and decommissioning design and implementation.

2.0 GENERAL BACKGROUND

The SM-1 Deactivated Nuclear Power Plant is located on the western shore of the Potomac River within the boundaries of Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Virginia. It is approximately 17 miles south by southwest of the center of Washington D.C. Topographic and aerial maps showing the SM-1 site and surrounding areas are shown in Figure 1 (USGS 1983) and Figure 2 (GX 1994). These figures also show the area where the Sturgis (MH-1A) was berthed during decommissioning.

Figure 1: SM-1 and Surrounding Area Topographic Map (USGS)

Figure 2: SM-1 and Surrounding Area Aerial Photo (GX, 1994)

The construction of SM-1 at Fort Belvoir was completed in 1957, and it achieved its first criticality in April 1957. The SM-1 was a single-loop 10 megawatt-thermal (MWt) pressurized water reactor delivering a net 1,750 kilowatts of electrical power (KWe). It was the first nuclear power reactor to provide sustained electricity to a commercial power grid in the United States. The SM-1 Reactor operated from April 1957 to March 1973. Ft. Belvoir was home to the U.S. Army Engineer Reactors Group (USAERG) and the SM-1 was used for training the multi-service crews that would operate the various plants in the Program. The reactor was stationary with a medium power range (between 1000 and 10,000 KWe).

Deactivation was performed on the SM-1 Reactor in 1973-1974 in accordance with the SM-1 Decommissioning and Conversion Plan as approved by the Army Reactor Systems Health and Safety Review Committee (ARCHS). This consisted of removal of the nuclear fuel, minor decontamination, shipment of necessary radioactive waste, sealing the pressure vessel, and installing appropriate warning signs and monitoring devices.

After the completion of the facility deactivation and conversion, a third party radiological survey by the U. S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency verified that known areas of radioactive contamination had been decontaminated to acceptable levels (based on the standards at the time of decommissioning) or were properly controlled. The Army Reactor Systems Health and Safety Review Committee (ARCHS) approved SM-1 Post-Decommissioning Environmental Monitoring Plan has been initiated to provide on-going surveillance of the decommissioned facility.

Additionally, in October of 1996, the U. S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) took extensive surveys of the SM-1 and surrounding environment to determine the radiological status of the facility at that time.

2.1 PRIOR STUDIES

The decommissioning strategy that was developed in the 1970's recommended that the deactivated reactors be placed into a safe storage mode that would allow the shorter-lived radionuclides to decay. It was expected that delaying decommissioning would reduce radioactive waste volumes and worker exposures. However, preliminary studies indicated that the levels of contamination present within the reactor building would not be reduced by decay sufficiently to allow for release of the facilities without significant decontamination being performed. Additionally, concern regarding the increasing cost and decreasing availability of radioactive waste disposal led the Army Reactor Office (ARO) to recommend that an assessment be performed of the SM-1 reactor to allow for a more accurate decommissioning cost estimate to be developed which addresses projected changes in disposal options.

USACE developed a management plan for conducting an All Hazards Assessment (AHA), which contained provisions for four phases of work to be performed. Phase I included a Historical Records Review and Disposal Alternatives Investigation. Phase II, included performing a characterization survey and developing a decommissioning cost estimate. Phases III deal with decommissioning planning, design, and execution. Phase IV is reactor permit termination. The AHA process supplies information to support the decommissioning study process outlined in Army Regulation 50-7. This process was performed by USACE, at the direction of the Army Reactor Office, to better define decommissioning activity costs.

Phase I - Review SM-1 historical design, operations, decommissioning, and surveillance related documents in order to prepare: Data Quality Objectives for a hazards assessment/characterization survey of the SM-1 Reactor Facility; initial waste classification of large components based on an activation analysis to estimate radionuclide concentrations; and identify those areas of the SM-1 site that are impacted by residual radioactive contamination and those that may contain other hazardous materials (to include areas where the MH-1A may have been impacted due to defueling and decontamination activities at Fort Belvoir).

Phase II - Conduct radiological and non-radiological sampling and analysis, hazards assessment, disposal alternatives evaluation, and cost estimates for the decommissioning and disposal of the SM-1.

Phase III - Develop detailed plans and execute the selected approach for hazards reduction, facility decommissioning, and waste disposal options.

Phase IV - Terminate the nuclear reactor decommissioning permit.

The results of the USACHPPM surveys and other historical records were utilized to prepare a Historical Site Assessment (HSA) in 2005. Characterization surveys and the AHA were completed in 2010/2011 and reported in a 2013 Characterization Survey Report. Objectives of these activities were as follows:

Quantified the inventory and distribution of radionuclides present in impacted areas of the SM-1 Reactor Facility as required for decommissioning alternative assessment and waste management planning.

Quantified the radiation fields and fixed/removable contamination from accessible surfaces, equipment and structures in impacted areas of the SM-1 Reactor Facility as required for decommissioning worker dose projections and waste management planning.

Confirmed the presence of hazardous or toxic substances that have the potential to significantly affect the decommissioning alternative assessment and waste management planning.

Completed an initial cost estimate to assist with planning purposes and funding requests associated with decommissioning.

Supplemental collection of specific information to address data gaps identified by the Characterization Survey Report review were completed and are presented as supplemental Technical Memorandums. The Technical Memorandums for SM-1 will be included as appendices to the Decommissioning Plan.

Objectives for the planning efforts that will be completed by early 2020 include obtaining the necessary information to support the application for a decommissioning permit in accordance with Table 2-1 of AR 50-7 Army Reactor Program. The following information is needed to support the permit application:

Approved environmental impact statement or environmental assessment.

Historical site assessment.

Coordination documents with State Historical Preservation Office.

Compliance agreements/consent decrees, and so forth, that involve other regulators and stakeholders in the decommissioning.

Proposed classification of areas for cleanup.

The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment, personnel and engineering support in order to prepare the site for decommissioning and disposal operations. Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) will be provided to the contractor to support the project. All GFE provided will be managed by the contractor as part of equipment management program. Site preparation may include the travel of management and labor staff, project-specific training, and acquisition and delivery of required equipment for DP tasks. The decommissioning contractor management staff will establish a site office, laydown areas, and waste storage areas in a location acceptable to the USACE Project Manager.

3.3.1 Site Prep Engineering

The Contractor shall provide Task-level engineering and planning required for all Site Preparation work as part of the decommissioning and disposal operations.

3.3.2 Tree Removal

As part of the site preparation, brush and trees in the upper and lower portions of the site will need to be removed. The initial tree removal will be nonintrusive and all stumps will remain until the project soils are addressed. The tree removal requires additional permitting and therefore may not necessarily take place at the same time as other site preparation activities. Per Ft. Belvoir requirements, clearing of trees larger than 3 inches in diameter at breast height would take place between September 15 and April 15 in accordance with Ft Belvoir and U.S. FWS policy regarding critical bat habitat. Approximately 30 or more trees (up to 36-inches in diameter) will need to be removed. The Contractor shall conduct field surveys to identify specific trees that require removal. The Contractor shall assume that all tree and brush debris is removed from the site and that tree removal will not generate low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). Contractor should be advised that the site is subject to soil saturation during periods of substantial precipitation. This should be taken into account for scheduling and planning purposes during site preparation and throughout implementation.

3.3.3 Prep Trailer/office area

The Contractor shall establish an area of about 50 feet by 50 feet to be used as the Prep Trailer/Office area for the duration of the project. This will require the Contractor to perform rough grading and site preparation for the placement of the temporary site office trailers. There is a small area outside of the fenced site area (adjacent to the entrance gate) that may be utilized for a small office area. There are utilities available for this area, to include, sewer, water, and electric.

3.3.4 Construct Waste Storage Pad

For bidding purposes, the Contractor shall assume the need to establish designated areas on the SM-1 reactor facility site in order to package and store industrial, radiological and hazardous waste. The Contractor shall be responsible for the construction of an area up to 5,000 square foot concrete pad for storing waste containers. The waste storage area may be inside the SM-1 perimeter fence or may be located near Ponton Basin. If the pad is constructed near Ponton Basin, additional security may be required.

3.3.5 Establish Exterior Controlled Area Boundary and Radiological Control Points A Support Zone will be proposed and established to serve as a clean equipment staging area and administrative area.

The support zone can be moved as the project progresses through the decommissioning. The Support Zone will include controlled access points/radiological control points into and from the Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ).

The CRZ is a buffer area between the Support Zone and the Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) which will include active decontamination and radioactive M&E removals. The CRZ will include personnel decontamination areas, areas to don and doff PPE, and areas for personnel to ‘frisk’ prior to exiting the CRZ. The CRZ may be used for placement of temporary exhaust ventilation fans and high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and for staging trailers for the storage and donning of protection clothing.

3.3.6 Removal of Exterior ASTs

Site preparation will also include the removal of exterior interferences from around Building 372. The Distilled Water Tank (TK-2) and Service Water Tank (TK-3) should be removed from the southwest side of Building 372. These items are not considered contaminated, the assumption should be confirmed, and the tanks treated as non-radiological waste.

3.3.7 Remove Exterior Electrical Equipment, other interferences The removal of a few exterior interferences from around Building 372, including the electrical substation from the northwest corner of Building 372 is also included in the Site Preparation. These items are not considered contaminated and should be treated as non-radiological waste. These materials should be assessed to ensure there are no additional hazardous waste or toxic substance control act requirements for disposal.

3.3.8 Waste Transportation and Disposal (T&D) for WE 2

Waste generated from performing site preparation includes the two exterior tanks (TK-2 and TK-3) and the exterior substation equipment. These items are assumed to be free of radiological contamination (confirmation radiological surveys should be implemented) and other hazardous materials and available for local non-radiological disposal or recycling. No additional waste/debris from tree removal is assumed as part of the site preparation Waste T&D. None of these site preparation items are considered contaminated and will be managed as clean waste; however, radiation surveys and other requirements to meet disposal/recycle facility criteria will be required.

3.4 MOBILIZATION (WE 3) (Firm Fixed Price):

Initial mobilization of decommissioning contractor personnel may include the project-specific training, and acquisition and delivery of required equipment for the Decommissining Plan (DP) tasks. The decommissioning contractor management staff will establish a site office, laydown areas, and waste storage areas in a location acceptable to the USACE Project Manager as indicated in WE 2 above.

Each individual performing decommissioning work, oversight, or supervision must attend site specific training in accordance with approved procedures. Safety training will be provided by the decommissioning contractor’s safety and radiological professionals. Additionally, all workers must attend a safety and securities briefing provided by USACE personnel and, if applicable, site owner/contractor personnel, regarding site-specific items.

Mobilization also includes delivery and setup of the field trailers, de-energizing the existing reactor power system, and installing new temporary power services. The contractor shall provide USACE staff with 800 square feet of office space to support up to 6 USACE staff for the duration of the project. The USACE facilities shall include indoor restrooms, break area, and conference room.

All facilities and services needed to implement the DP shall be in place prior to commencement of any DP Tasks.

3.4.1 Personnel

The PWS assumes 15 to 20 on-site contractor personnel for the entire duration of decommissioning. The PWS also assumes increases and/or decreases in on-site contractor personnel depending on current DP tasks being executed.

3.4.2 Training

All personnel working on SM-1 conducting decommissioning activities are required to be trained in regard to the type and magnitude of the radiological, chemical, and physical hazards onsite. This training will be conducted by the decommissioning contractor personnel.

Project personnel who will work in radiological controlled areas are required to undergo Radiation Worker Training.

Contractor Radiation Worker Training should include the following topics at a minimum:

Radioactivity and radioactive decay.

Characteristics of ionizing radiation.

Manmade radiation sources.

Effects of exposure to radiation.

Risks associated with occupational radiation exposures.

Special considerations with respect to exposure of women of reproductive age.

Dose-equivalent limits.

Modes of exposure (internal and external).

Dose-equivalent determinations.

Basic protective measures (time, distance, and shielding).

Specific procedures for maintaining exposures ALARA.

Radiation survey instrumentation (calibration, use, and limitations).

Radiation monitoring programs and procedures.

Contamination control, including protective clothing, equipment, and workplace design.

Personnel decontamination.

Emergency procedures.

Warning signs, labels, and alarms.

Responsibilities of employees and management.

Contractor personnel may also be required to take additional site-specific training required by Fort Belvoir as part of their Safety and Security requirements.

Additionally, a tailgate safety meeting will be conducted by the Site Safety and Health Officer or designee, at the beginning of each work shift, whenever significant changes in job scope are made, whenever significant changes in site conditions (physical or radiological) occur, or whenever new personnel arrive at the job site. Health and safety procedures and issues for the day, any unique hazards associated with an activity, and a review of any significant topics from previous activities will be presented at this meeting. The information discussed will be recorded, which will serve as confirmation that the information was presented to those persons whose signatures are on the form.

There will be at least one signed form for each work shift. Tailgate safety training forms will be incorporated into the decommissioning records. The Accident Prevention Plan (APP) shall describe the tailgate safety meetings and required documentation.

3.4.3 Equipment and Materials

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment and materials necessary to execute the required DP Tasks. This equipment would likely include a crane capable of the heavy lifts, skid loaders, forklifts, boom lifts, etc. USACE will require proof of appropriate training and certification for all equipment operators.

All equipment and supplies needed to complete the project should arrive at the site as needed. These materials generally will consist of office, health and safety, and health physics equipment and materials.

USACE currently has 5 - 20 foot conex containers with government property used to support the MH-1A STURGIS Decommissioning Project. This equipment will be transferred to the Contractor, inventoried, and tracked/maintained as government equipment. Attachment 1 is the list of government equipment. Additionally, there is a waste container that will be utilized by the Contractor and will be maintained as government equipment.

3.4.4 Services

The Contractor shall be responsible for working with Ft. Belvoir and USACE in order to provide needed services to the site for the duration of the project. These will include existing or temporary facilities allowing for office space, laboratory, break room, rest room, and equipment storage for the decommissioning contractor. Additional space will be needed for USACE oversight personnel as outline above.

Electrical service, internet, and phone connections will be installed in the office and laboratory locations as needed.

Other facilities may only require electricity connections for work completion. Water hook-ups may be needed for restrooms, depending on the proposed facilities.

Mobilization also includes delivery and setup of the field trailers, de-energizing the existing reactor power system, and installing new temporary power services. Utilities are available to the Contractor for the site needs. Electrical power for the site can be coordinated with Dominion Energy (POC is Kenneth Wilkins); sewer and water, if needed, will be provided by American Water (POC is Jason Nash). Costs associated with the utilities needed for the project should be included with this WE.

3.5 BUILDING 372 DISPOSITION (WE 4) (Cost Plus Incentive Fee)

All activities should be in accordance with the requirements detailed in the Decommissioning Plan/ Permit and the Contractor prepared Decommissioning Work Plan and associated work plans for the project. Decommissioning the SM-1 reactor facility will generate a variety of unwanted materials or wastes. A majority of these materials are currently, or will be, free of any radioactive contaminants and may be disposed of through well-established construction demolition methods. There are, however, a number of SM-1 components that are known to be activated and/or contaminated from past reactor operations and the contractor should review the government provided documents to better understand the radiological source term at the facility.

For bidding purposes, the Contractor shall provide two pricing options for waste disposal activities associated with this Work Element. The Government would like a bid that represents disposal of all radioactive materials at the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) site in Andrews County, Texas (this assumes that decontamination attempts are unsuccessful). The WCS disposal costs could represent disposal in either the Low Level Waste Cell or meet the exemption requirements for disposal in the RCRA Cell. An alternate price (best value) can be provided as outlined below assuming the decontamination process is successful. This alternate price could include a different disposal facility and/or options to free release materials (provide costs and time to decon to achieve free release for comparison purposes). The Government reserves the right to have final approval authority for the disposal facility selected throughout the project implementation.

3.5.1 Infrastructure upgrades

It may be necessary for the Contractor to provide upgrades to the existing road(s) within the 300 Area to support heavy loads and a steady stream of trucks and equipment for project execution. The Government will repair the roadways necessary for access to the project site prior to the implementation of the project.

For bidding purposes, the Contractor shall assume that trucks would travel Totten Road from the lower 300 Area (near the SM-1 Reactor Facility) to the upper 300 Area (near the main 300 Area gate). The infrastructure upgrade to repave Totten Road would cover approximately 4,000 square yards of paved surface and approximately 1,430 cubic yards (CY) of material would need to be hauled in to complete these upgrades. Other roadways on the route to leave the installation may also require upgrades. Contractor should bid all anticipated repairs accordingly. The Government team has committed to inspect and repair the roadways at the middle of the project schedule and completion of the work. These repairs should be priced if repairs are needed; all repairs will be authorized by the PM or COR prior to expenditure of these funds.

Infrastructure upgrades are considered improvements to Fort Belvoir facilities and are outside the project area. For bidding purposes, these upgrades do not include any dredging or improvements around Ponton Basin which may potentially be used to support barge shipments. The Contractor’s proposal should clearly describe the transportation method planned for the project.
