Comment Classification: Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

Ft Greely's location adjacent to Delta Junction, Alaska would be considered semi-remote because it is located on a publicly-maintained road system. Alaskans consider remote locations to be off the road system and not serviced by commercial air carriers or ferries. Delta Junction is located at the intersection of two major Alaskan highways. Delta Junction, Alaska is classified as a sub-arctic climate by the Köppen climate classification system and by Alaskans. Alaskans would consider an arctic environment, or polar environment, to be north of the Brooks Range, approximately 250 miles north of Ft Greely. Would the government consider changing this requirement to "Experience in a semi-remote, sub-arctic climate?"

DECOMMISSIONING AND DISMANTLEMENT ACTIVITIES FOR THE SM-1A REACTOR FACILITY

LOCATED AT FORT GREELY, AK

10 February 2022

Amendment 0001: 17 February 2022 Amendment 0002: 25 February 2022

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-1A Reactor Facility is situated within the boundaries of Fort Greely which covers approximately 6,840 acres near Delta Junction, Alaska. Fort Greely is located approximately 100 miles southeast of Fairbanks and 225 miles northeast of Anchorage.

The SM-1A Reactor Facility is located approximately in the middle of Fort Greely (See attached Figure 1 Fort Greely, AK). SM-1A occupies an approximately 1.5-acre fenced site in the central portion of Fort Greely along the northern side of Arctic Avenue between First Street and East Fifth Street. The deactivated reactor and associated systems are primarily in a cylindrical structure known as the Vapor Container (VC) adjacent to Building 606 North. Building 606 North and Building 606 South also contain critical infrastructure associated with Fort Greely’s existing utility systems.

Building J-5 (also known as Building 607; immediately east of the VC) is used for storage by Fort Greely’s utility privatization (UP) contractor (Doyon Utilities, LLC). Doyon operates and maintains Fort Greely utility systems under a 50-year utility privatization (UP) contract that will expire in 2058. Access to and conveyance of the utility systems and infrastructure facilities, including those in Building 606 North, is granted to the UP contractor by Army Easement DACA85-08-00124. The federal government maintains ownership of SM-1A reactor components and associated radioactive materials and waste. Access to restricted areas containing radioactive materials and waste is controlled by USACE. The Army owns the land underlying the facilities associated with SM-1A.

The SM-1A Reactor Facility, shown in attached Figure 2, includes Building 606 (North and South), Building J-5, and Supply Well No. 11 contained within a fenced perimeter. The area inside the fence is generally paved asphalt or concrete with small areas of grass. Primary access to the SM-1A Reactor Facility is through one of several locked entry gates located around the reactor security fence. Entry into Building 606 is currently controlled by the UP contractor. The selected Contractor will take over security of the SM-1A facility after developing acceptable Security Plans prior to the start of site work. Within the security fence, aboveground and below ground structures and foundation materials from Building 606 North, Building J-5, and the groundwater supply Well No. 11 pump house and associated utilidor will be removed during decommissioning activities. Additionally, supply Well No. 12 and recharge Well No. 13, located outside of the perimeter fence will be part of this project.

Construction of the SM-1A Reactor Facility at Fort Greely began in 1958 and was completed in 1962, with first criticality achieved on 13 March 1962. The design was based on the concept of the SM-1 reactor at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, a prototype for stationary medium-power plants. SM-1A was a single-loop, 20.2 megawatt-thermal pressurized water reactor that used highly enriched uranium dioxide fuel to generate 2,000 kilowatts of electrical power and 37,850 pounds of extraction steam per hour. SM-1A’s primary mission was to supply electrical power and heating steam for on-post buildings and facilities at Fort Greely; it was also used as an in-service test facility to understand how the equipment would function in an arctic environment. The primary mission of the SM-1A reactor deployment was the establishment of a cold-weather nuclear power plant to supply power to Fort Greely as part of the Army Nuclear Power Program (ANPP). The secondary mission was to study the economics of operating a nuclear electric power plant as compared to operating a conventional oil-fired system in a remote area where fuel costs are high and refueling logistics are challenging. In 1970, the Chief of Engineers decided the SM-1A reactor would be shut down for the last time following the normal end-of-life after its fourth core (U.S. Army, 1974a).

During plant operation, radioactive wastewater was stored in two hot waste tanks located in the waste tank pit. The wastewater was stored until the Spring season to avoid wastewater freezing in the discharge pipeline. During the warmer months, the weather allowed the contents of the tanks to be pumped out and processed through a Dilution Station (diluting water supplied by Well No. 14) and discharged to Jarvis Creek in accordance with approved procedures and permits (Jacobs, 2002). In mid-1968, discharges to Jarvis Creek were halted and a skid-mounted Radioactive Waste Disposal System (RWDS) was installed in Building 606 North where treated wastewater was discharged into a recharge well, Well No. 13. The concentrated wastes were packaged and disposed of at appropriate facilities in the lower 48 contiguous states.

The final shutdown of the SM-1A reactor was performed in March 1972. Deactivation and initial decommissioning were performed at the SM-1A Reactor Facility following shutdown and in accordance with the U.S. Army Engineer Power Group Plan for The Decommissioning of the SM-1A Nuclear Power Plant (U.S. Army, 1972). The initial deactivation of SM-1A consisted of placing the facility in a SAFSTOR configuration by removing the nuclear fuel, conducting minor decontamination, shipping some radioactive waste for disposal, sealing the VC, and installing appropriate warning signs and monitoring devices. Much of the reactor’s primary system components were dismantled, and components inside the VC were encased in concrete and an acrylamide grout-sand-soil mixture. This mixture was capped with 36 inches of reinforced concrete to a finished elevation of about 10 feet above the bottom of the VC and the VC hatch was sealed. Waste generated during the initial deactivation activities was placed in the spent fuel pit and waste tanks pit. These pits were then filled with an acrylamide grout-sand-soil mixture and capped with reinforced concrete. Debris in these pits is assumed to be radiologically contaminated. Estimates of the remaining waste volumes and isotopic compositions of the remaining radioactive wastes are detailed within the PWS and the enclosed documentation.

Following these deactivation activities, SM-1A was placed under a routine monitoring program that is currently implemented by USACE. SM-1A has been maintained in a SAFSTOR condition since 1972 to allow residual radioactivity to decay and minimize worker exposure to radiation to the extent possible during final decommissioning and dismantlement activities. Since its placement in SAFSTOR, SM-1A has been subject to regular inspection and monitoring by USACE in accordance with AR 50-7 and SM-1A Reactor Possession Permit Number SM1A-1-19, Amendment 1-20, issued by the U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff G-3/5/7 through the Army Reactor Office (ARO).

In general, Building 606 North has remained occupied by government personnel and/or contractors operating Fort Greely’s conventional steam and power plant since SM-1A’s deactivation in 1972.

2.1 PRIOR STUDIES

The decommissioning strategy 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 reactors would not be sufficiently reduced by decay to allow for the 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-1A 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 decommissioning cost estimate. Phases III and IV deal with decommissioning planning, design, and execution.

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

• 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-1A.

• 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.

Upon completion of initial decommissioning, Fort Greely was assigned operational and maintenance responsibility for the remaining SM-1A ancillary systems, beyond those associated with the primary nuclear plant. Fort Greely was to operate the secondary system with steam from the boiler in the adjacent post power plant and assume full use of all available space and structures external to the vapor container. The outward physical appearance would remain unchanged (USAEPG, 1971c). After the completion of the facility deactivation and conversion, a third-party radiological survey by a private contractor, as well as the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA), verified that known areas of radioactive contamination had been decontaminated to acceptable levels or were properly controlled (Suntac, 1973). An Army Reactor Systems Health and Safety Review Committee (ARCHS)-approved SM- 1A Post-Decommissioning Environmental Monitoring Plan was initiated to provide on-going surveillance of the decommissioned facility. In June of 1997, the U. S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) performed extensive surveys of the SM-1A and surrounding environment to determine the radiological status of the facility at that time (USACHPPM, 1997). In preparation for full decommissioning of the site, a Characterization Survey Report (CSR) for the All-Hazards Analysis was completed in 2011 (USACE, 2014).

Objectives for the Phase III planning efforts that will be completed by late 2021 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 Assessment. – Completed 28 Jun 2021

• Historical Site Assessment. – Completed

• Coordination documents with State Historic Preservation Office. – Completed 28 Jun 2021

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

• Proposed classification of areas for cleanup.

• Any applicable agreements between responsible commander and garrison organizations to be in place during decommissioning. – Ongoing

• Safety and health framework, identifying how personnel and radiation safety will be managed.

• Waste Management and Disposal Plan. – ARO approval granted 20 Dec 2021

• Final Decommissioning Plan. - ARO approval granted 20 Dec 2021

The final, or most recent version of the above documents will be provided as enclosures to the PWS.
