Project Name: PIT-9 Demonstration Project - "Retrieval Confinement Structure"
Waste Confinement Enclosure Building
Customer: Bechtel BWXT Idaho (BBWI)
Site: Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
Project Scope:
“Retrieval Confinement Structure” to provide high integrity contamination confinement during radioactive waste excavation operations.
Structure of modular design for ease of assembly, disassembly, and relocation.
Confinement enclosure must meet site specific wind and seismic load requirements for INEEL
Confinement building designed and tested to withstand 4” water gage negative pressure without failure.
Confinement provides integral interface for externally mounted glove boxes and excavator.
QC implemented for materials, welding, inspection and testing.
Project Performance:
NFS-RPS designs a high performance modular panel enclosure measuring 27' Wide x 52' Long x 24' High, with an Auxiliary room 16’ Wide x 47’ Long x 12’ High.
Modular panel system incorporates seismic structural requirements, fast erection and ease of decontamination. Confinement is erected on-site in 2.5 weeks
OSHA compliant cat-walk system for roof access.
Integrated fire protection, service air, dust suppression and utility service systems.
