Dear'Mr. Lynch:
The, above ' referenced letter requests a meeting between DOE and A1ChemIE to address the following: 1. A1ChemIE's GCEP Disposition Plan j 2. A1ChemIE's - Waste Management. and D&D Plans for both the CPDF I and the Oliver Springs Facility. -In response-to (1). above we have prepared a - document entitled "A1ChemIE-GCEP Equipment Removal and Disposition Plan." This plan 31s enclosed herewith and ini based on - the DOE approved A1ChemIE equipment removal schedule dated September 29, 1988. In resp' nse to (2) above, an addendum to A1ChemIE's. Safety o Analysis Report has-been prepared. In addition to discussions .on handling, storage, operations, and maintenance using dimethyl zinc ~(DMZ) a detailed discussion on waste management is provided in Section 10.0 for CPDF. A specific waste management plan for l' -the zoliver-Springs facility has not been prepared in that-products to be provided by that facility are in the process of being defined. As it relates to the D'GD plans requested in (2) above, please refer to the A1ChemIE internal memorandum enclosed herewith. The plans are divided into three timeframes; near term (1-2 L years), yearly activities (next 20 years) and the final decommissioning of the facilities.

SUBJECT:
AlchemIE Plans and Costs-for Decommissioning.GCEP, CPDF, and Oliver Springs
Dear Buddy:
- A1ChemIE has developed plans for decommissioning all its gas
-centrifuge related. equipment obtained _ from the Department of Energy. These plans are divided into three time frames. They -include ~ the near' teria - (about 1-2 -years), the yearly activities l over the next twenty years of planned operation, and the final decommissioning and cleanup of the facilities at the end of the expected twenty year plant-life. These costs, including. quantities of-materials, are summarized in Table,1. In order to develop the decommissioning plans, AlchemIE made several assumptions that were used through out the twenty year The= assumptions made were the following: program. l All the centrifuges and rotors located at GCEP will be j 1. required by A1ChemIE for either the new plant and/or j b Pine Ridge Offico Park. Sulfo 202 0 '07 "Mo * "a.. Oc' pfdae 7".""o 'W W 00?o
y* Mr. Buddy Scruggs November 7, 1988 Page 2' for CPDF. The utilization and distribution of the rotors and machines are depicted in Table 1. The initial facility requirements, the infant failures, and the failures anticipated over the life of the plant are shown. The assumption is that no decontamination will be required for the destroyed machines. Rather that the rotors and the internals will be compacted into a I fifty-five gallon drum or 7.5 cubic foot volume and stored. A1ChemIE currently does not plan to separate isotopes of any RCRA listed material at this time. This eliminates the mixed waste problem. Further only eight hundred and twenty (820) machines at GCEP have
- seen some UF6 However, our costs are based on the total of 1,380 machines plus 138 spare rotors at GCEP, 2.
It is anticipated that at the end of the twenty years of operation, or perhaps sometime prior, the gas centrifuge materials will be declassified. This action will obviously greatly simplify the decommissioning l program since a classified burial site will not be l required, however tho.51ChemIE costs do not make this assumption. 3. All uranium bearing materials such as piping valves, centrifuges, etc., will be compacted, packaged and buried at a cost of Fifty (50) Dollars per cubic foot. 4. All the contaminated aluminum piping will be compacted l. to about seventy five (75) percent of its theoretical density and prepared for burial at Fifty (50) Dollars per cubic foot. Most piping decontamination will be difficult and uneconomical. AlchemIB will either use i
r w Mr. Buddy scruggs November 7, 1988 Page 3 the 300 ton compacter at GCEP in the RA building or will use a commerical organization such as Chem-Nuclear Systems or Scientific Ecology, Inc.,- for compacting and/or cleaning contaminated items. Our costs assume j I all compaction. r 5. The labor costs for removing the piping, centrifuges, etc., at GCEP are not included in these costs. 6. During the twenty year operating period of CPDF and Oliver Springs the failed machines will be removed and compacted and stored as part of AlchemIE's normel '* operations. 7. At the end of the twenty year operations, all the centrifuges will be removed and compacted by the l AlchemIE staff over a period of six months that span ? the twenty year event.
