Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Rector Vessel and Internals Removal (RVAIR) Project Transportation Safety Plan is to describe measures to be taken to ensure the safe transport of the Reactor l Vessel Package (RVP) from the Trojan site to the US Ecology radioactive waste disposal facility on the Hanford Reservation in eastern Washington.

This document is a comprehensive transportation safety plan that describes the management and coordination among Portland General Electric (PGE), PGE contractors, State and I Federal regulatory agencies, and other government agencies. It outlines the coordination between State and Federal agencies with emergency responsibilities for this shipment.

1.2 SCOPE I The scope of this document is limited to the description of activities related to transportation safety, including contingency actions, radiation protection, physical I protection, management, and coordination of those activities among PGE, PGE contractors, local, State, and Federal agencies. This Plan is not an operations plan and does not describe operational details other than those related to transportation safety.

I 1.3 IMPI EMENTATION The requirements of this Plan will be implemented by various PGE design documents, calculations, and detailed procedures. Source and reference documents are listed in I Appendix A.

l This Plan will be submitted to, and approved by, Oregon Office of Energy (OOE) prior to shipping the RVP. This Plan and transportation procedures will also be made available to the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Portland Captain of the Port (COTP) prior to the l shipment. OOE will approve changes to the Plan. OOE may verbally approve changes to the Plan at their discretion. The COTP will be informed in writing of any changes to this Plan, resulting changes to transportation procedures, and justification for those changes.

I 1.4 OVERVIEW OF TRANSPORTAT!ON PHASE OF RVAIR PROJECT The RVAIR project involves removing Trojan's reactor vessel and disposing of it at the US Ecology radioactive waste disposal facility on the Hanford Reservation in eastern Washington. The reactor vessel, with internals installed, will be prepared as its own shipping container, removed from the Containment Building, and loaded onto a transporter.

Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation S&ty Plan The transportation phase of the RVAIR project begins with loading the package onto a shipping cradle mounted on a transporter. The package will be secured to the transporter and the transporter / package assembly will be moved from the Trojan Industrial Area to the barge slip on the Trojan site. The transporter / package assembly will be loaded onto a barge and secured. The barge will then travel up the Columbia River, approximately 270 miles, to the Port of Benton, Washington, where the transporter / package assembly will be unloaded. The transporter / package assembly will be transported by road, approximately 20 miles, to the disposal site operated by US Ecology, on the Hanford Reservation, near Richland, Washington. The pa::kage will then be unloaded from the transporter for disposal. The transportation phase of the RVAIR project is completed with the delivery of I the package to the US Ecology site.

I 1.5 REGULATORY REOUIREMENTS AND INDUSTRY GUIDANCE l Federal transportation requirements for radioactive materials are primarily specified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subtitle B, Chapter I, Subchapter C,

" Hazardous Materials Regulations." These regulations categorize hazardous materials l (Parts 171 and 172), prescribe requirements for package preparation (Part 173), and prescribe general requirements for watcr (Part 176) and land (Part 177) transport.

10 CFR Part 71, " Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material," contains I additional requirements for preparing packages as their own shipping containers. 46 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter I, " Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels," contains inspection and design requirements for the barge. 33 CFR, " Navigation and Navigable Waters," contains I requirements for the waterfront facilities where hazardous materials are being handled (Part 126), and for ports and waterways safety (Subchapter P). Part 61 of 10 CFR contains requirements for land burial of radioactive waste. State of Washington burial and I transportation requirements are found in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC),

=

Chapters 246-249 and 446-50; and in US Ecology license conditions. State of Oregon l transportation requirements are found in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 469.603 through 469.615 and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 345-060-0001 through 345-060-0055.

The shipment will comply with these requirements except where exemptions have been l granted by the appropriate competent authority.

ANSI N14.24-1985, "American National Standard for Highway Route Controlled Quantities of Radioactive Materials - Domestic Barge Transport," was used as overall guidance for planning the river transit portion of the shipment. ANSI N14.2, " Proposed American National Standard Tiedowns for Truck Transport of Radioactive Materials" (March 1993 Draft), was used for guidance in the package-to-transporter tiedown design.

Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Saferv Plan 3.0 MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES 3.1 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL TO BE SHIPPED The radioactive material to be shipped is contained within the reactor vessel package. The radioactive material is classified as a Type B Highway Route Controlled quantity for packaging and transportation purposes, and as Class C radioactive waste for near-surface I land disposal purposes. These classifications prescribe the requirements which must be met to package, transport, and dispose of the material.

3.1.1 PACKAGING CLASSIFICATION For packaging purposes, the reactor vessel and internals are classified as a I Type B Quantity of radioactive material. This quantity of radioactivity is required to be contained in a Type B Package that is approved by the NRC, for both normal incident and I hypothetical accident conditions of transport. An approval is issued by the NRC indicating applicable requirements of 10 CFR 71 will be met when the package is used in accordance with the parameters specified.

I 3.1.2 TRANSPORTATION CLASSIFICATION For transportation purposes, the material is regulated as a hazardous material and a hazardous substance. Specifically it is a reportable quantity of radioactive material, n.o.s. UN2982RQ. In addition, it is a Highway Route Controlled Quantity, because it I contains greater than 27,000 Curies of activity. The radioactivity in the package is primarily activated metal, although internal surfaces are contaminated with radioactive corrosion products. The quantities of radioactive material being shipped in the RVP are I estimated at 2.01 million Curies of non-releasable activated metal and 155 Curies of internal surface contamination. The radioactive material being shipped contains less than four grams of fissile material. Due to the small amount of fissile material, no controls are I needed to provide nuclear criticality safety during transportation and, since it is less tan 15 grams, fissile material transportation requirements do not apply. Specific packaging, marking, and labeling requirements, including for transporting the shipment as exclusive I use, will be met as described in this Plan.

l 3.1.3 DISPOSAL CLASSIFICATION For near surface land disposal purposes, the material is classified as Class C radioactive I waste. There are three classes of radioactive waste intended for land disposal: Class A, B, and C. Of the three classes, Class C has the most stringent requirements on waste form, stability, and disposal methods that can be used. The classification is determined by the I long- and short-lived radionuclides, their concentration, and their potential hazard.

Class C material must be in a waste form that prevents inadvertent intrusion.

1 Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan The material can be disposed of as radioactive waste since it meets the requirements listed below. It is composed of a mixture of radionuclides in solid form containing very little liquid (less than 0.1 percent by volume). It is in a chemically passive state, not readily capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, reaction at normal pressures and temperatures, or explosive reaction with water. The material does not contain, and is not capable of, generating quantities of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes harmful to persons transporting, handling, or disposing of the waste. It is also not pyrophoric.

I 3.2 PACKAGE The reactor vessel will be prepared as its own transportation package prior to being moved from the Trojan Industrial Area. The package preparation and handling will conform to the approval issued by the NRC.

The reactor vessel is constructed of steel with a wall thickness of five inches or more. The reactor vessel will be filled with low-density cellular concrete to fix the radioactive I material in place and to provide radiation shielding. Penetrations and nozzles will be covered with steel plates. Shielding, in the form of steel plate, will be added as necessary l to maintain package dose rates within regulatory limits, With concrete fill, shielding, and covers, the maximum RVP weight is estimated to be 1,020 tons.

3.2.1 PACKAGE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The materials of the package are physically and chemically compatible with each other and I the package contents. Corrosivity, permeability, softening, premature aging, and embrittlement were considered to ensure there will be no significant chemical or galvanic reaction and that the materials are not capable of reacting dangerously with each other.

The package is designed to be strong and tight so that there will be no leaking of I radioactive material under ccnditions nonnally incidental to transportation. The package design considered heat, cold, reduced external pressure, increased external pressure, vibration, water spray, free drop, penetration, puncture, immersion, and exposure to fire l as delineated in the applicable regulations. The effectiveness of the package will be maintained for the minimum and maximum temperatures encountered during transportation. There will be no mixture of gases or vapors in the package that could l increase heat or pressure and significant!y reduce the effectiveness of the package. Since water depths over which the barge will travel are greater than 50 feet, the tiedowns have been designed to retain the package, even in the unlikely event the barge capsizes.

The external surface of the package is designed, as far as practicable, to be free of pockets or crevices where water might collect, and to be easily decontaminated.

} The package is designed so it can be easily and safely handled by mechanical means and properly secured during transport. Lifting devices, when used in the intended manner, 18

Reactor Vessel arulInternals Removal Project - Transponation Saferv Plan will not impose an unsafe stress on the structure of the package. Similarly, the package is designed such that failure of any tiedown attachment on the package under excessive load will also not impair the ability of the package to meet its safety requirements.

3.2.2 SURFACE CONTAMINATION AND EXTERNAL RADIATION The package will not have external, removable surface contamination above the limits in Table 6-1. The level of loose radioactive contamination on the external surface of the package will be ALARA. The package will be decontaminated and coated to fix any remaining loose contamination. Suf6cient measurements will be taken to yield an appropriate assessment of loose surface contamination and radiation levels. Surface I contamination and external radiation levels will not exceed the limits given in Table 6-1.

3.2.3 MARKING AND LABELING The exterior of the package will be stenciled, or otherwise conspicuously, durably, and legibly marked with the following information in letters at least 1/2 inch high:

Proper shipping name - Radioactive Material, n.o.s. UN2982 RQ l Waste classification - Class C Stable Label - DOT Specification Radioactive Label Packaging type - [as Specified by NRC/ DOT]

Gross weight - 925,344 Kg (1020 tons) l Model number (assigned by the NRC)

Package ID number (assigned by the NRC)

The proper shipping name and waste classification will be within six inches of each other.

I The marking will be in English, printed on, or af0xed to, the surface of the package, displayed on a background of sharply contrasting color, unobscured by labels or attaciunents, and located away from any other marking.

Prior to applying the model number, PGE will determine that the package was fabricated in accordance with the approved design.

I 3.2.4 QUALITY CONTROL Prior to shipment, PGE will verify the package was constructed in accordance with the design approved by the NRC. PGE will inspect the package to ensure it is properly marked and in unimpaired physical condition, except for super 6cial defects such as marks I or dents. The examination will ascertain there are no defects that could significantly reduce the effectiveness of the package. PGE will determine the package has been manufactured, assembled, and marked in accordance with design and regulatory I requirements; and approved written procedures and/or special instructions were used to fill, close, and prepare the package for shipment.

l l

L 19 Revision I F

I Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan I These activities will be performed in accordance with the NRC-approved PGE Quality Assurance Program (PGE-8010) for fabrication and assembly of the packaging.

3.3 TRANSPORTER AND PRIME MOVERS I

A transporter and overland prime mover, provided by Bigge, will be used to transport the package at Trojan. The transporter will be barged to the Port of Benton with the package I attached. Lampson will supply two prime movers to move the package from the Port of Benton to the burial site. A third, smaller prime mover, will be used to unload the barge. The same transporter will be used to carry the package over the entire route.

The transporter is a 20 axle trailer with 16 wheels per axle. The capacity of the transporter is 1,350 tons. The transporter has a hydraulically-leveled platform designed specifically for hauling large, heavy loads. The transporter hydraulic system is powered by one or more diesel engines. The transporter is equipped with an air pressure brake system acting on the wheels with spring set release brakes for parking, giving additional security. In case of air supply failure or pressure drop in the system, the brakes are applied automatically.

I The transporter and prime movers will be inspected to ensure the vehicles are working properly and to ensure conformance with applicable State and Federal safety standards.

The transporter and prime movers will be properly placarded for a radioactive material shipment.

I 3.4 BARGE The barge, provided by Zidell Marine Corporation, is a 240 feet x 55 feet x 15 feet American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Class A-1 Maltese Cross barge with a current USCG certificate ofinspection. The barge will be operated as an exclusive-use vessel and will I carry only the package described in this Plan while chartered to PGE. Although the entire water route is on an inland waterway, the barge also will have a current load line certificate issued by the ABS.

l 3.4.1 BARGE DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSES l The barge was specifically designed for the RVAIR Project. It is constmeted of steel with the deck strength necessary to support the weight of the transporter / package assembly and prime mover traveling on and off of the barge. The barge is capable of being grounded for l loading and offloading, and of passing through the locks en route to the Port of Benton from Trojan.

Barge intact and damaged stability calculations and other structural analyses of the barge were performed by Glosten and will be reviewed by the NCB and the USCG. The 20

Reactor Vessel and Interncis Removal Project - Transportation Saferv Plan I structural capabilities of the barge and tiedowns to sustain the loads applied during grounding, loading / offloading, and specified collision conditions were verified. The structural capability of the barge to sustaid static and dynamic loads while underway was also verified. The analyses show that the barge meets the one-compartment standard, meaning that the barge will not sink or capsize following damage to any one compartment I in the barge.

The barge will be inspected by the ABS and an independent Marine Surveyor to ensure the I as-built configuration is in accordance with the design upon which calculations and other analyses are based.

3.4.2 BARGE EQUIPMENT The barge will have an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). An EPIRB I is a vessel-mounted, radio-signal-transmitting device that is water-actuated and aids in locating the site where a vessel has sunk.

I The barge will be equipped with a radar reflector, which is a vessel mounted passive device which improves the return signal to impinging radar. Such a reflector makes the l barge more " visible" to other traffic during normal operations. -

A sonic signaling device, or " pinger," will be attached to the barge. The pinger is an underwater locating transmitter that remains with the sunken barge. The signals emitted by this equipment permit accurate location but are limi:ed in range. The pinger will have a minimum operating time of 30 days.

An emergency line with a float will be' kept on the deck of the barge in the event it becomes necessary to tow the barge to a safe location.

3.5 TIEDOWN SYSTEM The tiedown system consists of the package-to-transporter and transporter-to-barge l tiedowns. The package will be loaded onto the transporter and tied down using a system with two shipping cradles and accompanying straps. The transporter / package assembly will be loaded onto the barge and positioned with two cradle support structure beams l aligned with the port and starboard fore and aft bolsters, then bolted in position. Tiedown arrangements are illustrated in Figures 4-1 and 4-2.

The tiedown designs and analyses were performed by BRCGI and Glosten and were reviewed and approved by PGE. The NCB will review the tiedown design and the USCG will review the barge stability analysis.

L 21

_~ - __ _ _

l Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 3.5.1 PACKAGE-TO-TRANSPORTER TIEDOWN DESIGN .

The package-to-transporter tiedown system is designed to support and brace the package such that it cannot change position during conditions normally incidental to transportation.

The package will rest on two shipping cradles made of structural steel. Each cradle will be bolted to its support frames. The support frames are secured to the transporter trailer bed by bolting through the attachment brackets bolted to the bottom of the support frames, and to the side plates on the transporter trailer. The package will be secured to the cradles wi'h straps. The straps will be tensioned to eliminate slack and preclude loosening during use. The package will be restrained in the longitudinal direction with restraints that capture two of the eight RVP nozzles.

The package-to-transporter tiedown system is designed in accordance with the March 1993 draft of ANSI N14.2, " Proposed American National Standard Tiedowns for Truck Transport of Radioactive Materials." This standard is applicable to normal truck transport of radioactive materials, therefore, application of the criteria to the transporter, a special purpose vehicle, is conservative since the transit speed will be maintained at or below five miles per hour.

3.5.2 TRANSPORTER-TO-BARGE TIEDOWN DESIGN The transporter-to-barge tiedown system is designed to ensure the transporter / package I assembly remains in place on the barge. Once the transporter is loaded onto the barge, the hydraulic system used to raise and lower the transporter will be depressurized to eliminate relative movement due to the hydraulic system.

The barge was designed with two longitudinal watertight bulkheads. Four longitudinal bolsters welded to the barge, two port and two starboard, above these watertight bulkheads restrain movement of the transporter / package. The transporter will be positioned on the barge such that two cradle support beams rest on the longitudinal bolsters. This will l distribute the loaded transporter weight to the barge structure through the bolsters. The bolsters are designed so that the cradle support beams nest is recessed areas on the top of the bolsters and horizontal loads, in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, are l transferred directly into the barge via the bolster structure. Vertical loads, including those associated with a postulated capsize of the barge. are transferred into the bolsters with bolting.

l The transporter-to-barge tiedown system was designed using guidance from ll ANSI N14.24-1985, "American National Standard for Highway Route Controlled LI Quantities of Radioactive Materials - Domestic Barge Transport," except that the transverse collision acceleration loading was increased from 0.5g to 1.6g based on the i "Probabilistic Safety Study for the Transportation of the Reactor Vessel Package (RVP) by Barge on the Columbia River form the Trojan Site to the Port of Benton."

I 22 Revision 1

l Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 3.5.3 QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING PGE will verify the as-built tiedown system complies with design and construction specifications. Welding and weld inspection will be performed using procedures and processes which meet or exceed standards defined in ANSI /AWS DI.1, " Structural Welding Code - Steel."

3.6 TUGBOATS Two rugboats with raised pilot houses, provided by Foss, will be used to transport the I barge up the river. One of the tugboats will serve as a back-up should the primary tugboat become incapacitated. The tugboats are of suitable size and horsepower such that each is capable of maneuvering the barge under normal and inclement weather and current conditions (refer to Sections 4.1.3 and 5.2.1). They will be fitted to handle the barge in a standard pushing mode using substantial and well-fendered push knees and heavy connecting wires.

The rugboats will be equipped with navigational aids including radar, magnetic compass with deviation table and marine charts for the portion of the river to be transited. l Communications equipment for each tug will include two VHF radios, a single side band radio, and a cellular phone. l The tugboats will be equipped with ring life buoys, personal flotation devices (USCG approved life preservers) for crew members and other persons on board the vessel, and I Type B hand portable fire extinguishers. Lifesaving and firefighting equipment will be legibly marked and readily accessible. The tugs will have an industrial first aid kit.

Standard tools for temporary repairs will also be on board.

The tugboats' use is subject to the approval of, and inspection by, the Marine Surveyor l who will also examine vessel and maintenance documents.

l 3.7 ESCORT VEHICLES AND SUPPORT FACILITIES I, The transporter / package assembly will be accompanied by overland escort vehicles as it is j transported from the Trojan site to the US Ecology burial site. Foss will escort the l shipment during river transit using a vehicle equipped with a VHF radio and a cellular i phone. DynCorp will provide traffic control and escort the shipment from the Port of Benton to the US Ecology burial site on the Hanford Reservation.

Foss offices in Portland will be used as a communication center where communications will be maintained with the tugboats 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months a day.

Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 3.8 BARGE LOADING AND OFFLOADING SITES The transporter / package assembly will be loaded onto the barge at the Trojan barge slip.

The barge slip is located on the Columbia River on PGE property about 1/4 mile south of the Trojan Industrial Area at River Mile 72.5. The barge slip was constructed to receive the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, and other large components delivered via barge as part of the construction of the Trojan Nuclear Plant. During the Large I Ccenponent Removal Project four steam generators and the pressurizer were loaded at this barge slip. The slip is 59 feet wide with a 110 feet long pad dredged to a nominal elevation of-2.5 feet.

l The transporter / package assembly will be offloaded from the barge at the Port of Benton barge slip. The barge slip is located on the Columbia River in Benton County in an I industrial park on the northern edge of the town of Richland, Washington. The existing barge slip was constructed in 1972. It is approximately 1/4 mile south of the Hanford Reservation site at River Mile 342.8. The slip is 60 feet x 150 feet with a gravel l grounding pad at an elevation of 330 feet providing 10 feet of water at normal pool.

The barge slips are capable of accepting the loads imposed by the barge while moored and l while loading or offloading the transpotter/ package assembly. The Trojan and Port of Benton barge slips will be inspected. Silt, rock, and debris will be removed, as necessary, to permit safe access by the barge.

I 3.9 OVERLAND ROUTE The first and last segments of the transit route are over land, covering a total distance of I approximately 30 miles. The transporter / package assembly will be transported by prime mover from the Industrial Area to the Trojan barge slip and from the Port of Benton barge slip to the US Ecology burial site. The road from the Trojan Industrial Area to the barge slip is entirely on PGE property. The transit distance from the package preparation area to the Trojan barge slip is about 1/4 mile. The route from the Port of Benton barge slip to the US Ecology burial site is about 30 miles. The route is entirely on Port of Benton l property or the Hanford Reservation except when crossing Horn Rapids Road, which is an unpaved public road between the Port of Benton and the Hanford Reservation. Figures 3-1 and 3-3 show the overland routes.

PGE will evaluate the overland route to ensure it is structurally capable of handling the load prior to the shipment.

I 3.10 WATER ROUTE The middle segment of the transit route is over water covering a distance of approximately 270 miles. The transporter / package assembly will be transported by barge on the u 24 Revision 1

i Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan Columbia River from the Trojan site at River Mile 72.5 to the Port of Benton at River Mile 342.8.

The Trojan site is 73 miles downstream from the Bonneville Dam. The Port of Benton is 50 miles upstream from the McNary Locks and Dam. The location and sizes of the locks are shown on Table 3-1. Figure 3-2 shows the water route.

The limiting vertical clearance is a highway bridge at River Mile 328.4 (Pasco-Kennewick Highway Bridge) where the central span is 56 feet above the normal river elevation at that point.

These limits are not restrictive to the RVAIR shipment. The width, length, and depth of the barge and tugboat will allow passage through the lock system. The vertical clearance from the water surface to the top of the package will be less than 46 feet.

The navigation channel of the Columbia River from Trojan to Vancouver, Washington, is maintained about 40 feet deep, with some pockets to 60 feet. The channel from Vancouver to Richland is maintained at 14 feet with the maximum depth in some locations at 200 feet.

The channel is maintained by the ACE to River Mile 335, which ends approximately at the mouth of the Yakima River. The minimum dimensions of this channel are 14 feet deep by 250 feet wide at the channel bottom. The eight mile stretch of the Columbia River from the confluence of the Yakima River to the Port of Benton is not maintained. Since this stretch of the river is not maintained by the ACE, Foss will verify the channel depth is adequate for transit prior to the shipment.

( Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 4.0 OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 4.1 GENERAL The barge and transporter will be operated as exclusive-use conveyances and will carry only the package described in this Plan. The transporter will be operated in accordance with USDOT Federal Highway Administration and State requirements. Barge loading, package stowage, river transit, and barge offloading will be carried out in accordance with USCG COTP requirements.

(

4.1.1 ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY The PGE Transportation Coordinator is the person in charge of the transportation phase of the RVAIR project and is the principal point of contact for transportation phase activities.

( The PGE Transportation Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring prerequisites are met and activities are performed in accordance with this Plan.

Bigge, Lampson, and Foss will designate a lead field representative for each segment of the transportation phase for which they are responsible. The lead field representative ' vill supervise activities in the field and coordinate those activities with the PGE Transportaion

{ Coordinator. The table below lists the organizational responsibility for each segment of package transportation.

4.1.2 TRAINING l i

Bigge, Lampson, and Foss will provide general hazardous material training to their

[ employees involved in the shipment. This training will include general awareness and familiarization with hazardous materials and methods and procedures for avoiding

{' accidents, such as proper handling. PGE will provide training in areas directly related to package transport, including industrial safety, ALARA, radiological controls, contingency response, and individual responsibilities. Radiation protection training is described in

(- Section 6.4.

Pre-job briefings will occur throughout the transportation phase of the RVAIR project. A PGE representative will instruct those persons involved in the applicable parts of the operations, contingency, radiation protection, and physical protection plans before they follow through with their work procedures on the project.

If requested, by State or local agencies, PGE will conduct pre-shipment briefings for ic, cal emergency responders and officials on both sides of the river along the shipping route.

4.1.3 DECISION TO INITIATE TRANSPORT

{

Transport of the package will occur without unnecessary delay from commencement of cargo loading until final discharge at its destination. The trip is planned to be direct and

{ uninterrupted, over a planned route. The duration of transit is anticipated to be less than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months . Key considerations in the decision to initiate transport are weather conditions, availability of the river for transport, and availability of the Port of Benton for barge

( offloading.

The PGE Transportation Coordinator, in consultation with Bigge, Lampson, and Foss, will

[. evaluate current and forecasted weather to assure that no inclement weather exists or is projected for the duration of package transport that may threaten the safety of the barge and package. Bounding assumptions used for transport calculations are wind less than 50 miles per hour and river wave height less than 6.5 feet. The RVP initial metal temperature shall be greater than 50#F equilibrium, and a minimum average daily temperature (average of forecasted high and low daily temperatures) of 50 F and a minimum daily temperature of 40 F are forecasted for each day along the transportation route for the expected shipping duration, k

The transportation coordinator will review volcanic activity in the region with the U. S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory to verify significant volcanic

( events are not imminent.

I' Reactor Vessel and Intemals Removal Pro}ect - Transportation Safety Plan r PGE and Bigge will inspect the package-to-transporter tiedown components prior to use I

and after the package is secured to the transporter. PGE will inspect the package and clean and repair the coating as necessary after it is loaded onto the transporter and tied down.

f PGE will perform surface contamination and external radiation surveys. PGE will also inspect the transporter to ensure there is no loose radioactive material once the package has been loaded onto the transporter / cradle assembly and secured. PGE will properly placard l

the transporter / package assembly as a radioactive material shipment before moving it out

, of the Industrial Area.

ODOT may perform a CVSA inspection of the transporter / package assembly and the prime mover at Trojan before the shipment leaves the Industrial Area. A CVSA inspection f involves both a radiological and safety inspection. A completed inspection fonn containing basic information about the shipment will be given to PGE to accompany the shipment after the inspection is performed. Under US Ecology's radioactive material license, the inspection form / certificate is a condition of acceptance for the receipt of the material at the disposal facility.

Additional inspections of the shipment before it leaves t'*e site may be performed by Oregon Health, WDOH, and US Ecology to ensure comp!!ance with the standards for j transportation and disposal.

4.2.3 TRANSPORT TO BARGE SLIP -

PGE will verify.various availabilities prior to removing the package from the Industrial Area. These include: the disposal t'acility is available to receive the package, the river is

{ available for transportation, and facilities at the Port of Benton are ready to accommodate l the barge. Bigge will drive the transporter / package assembly from the preparation area i and out of the Industrial Area to the Trojan barge slip. The maximum speed will be five !

miles per hour. The driver will possess a Commercial Driver's License with a hazardous j materials endorsement.

4.3 - COLUMBIA RIVER TRANSIT l The transporter / package assembly will be loaded onto the barge and secured for transit.

The barge will carry it from the barge slip at Trojan upriver to the barge slip at the Port of Benton, Washington. The transporter / package assembly will then be offloaded from the barge.

4.3.1 BARGE MOORING AT TROJAN Foss will deliver, position, moor, and stage the barge in the Trojan barge slip, Divers will inspect the Trojan barge slip within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months of ballasting the barge onto the slip to verify no debris has been deposited on the bottom of the barge slip that would damage the barge.

35 L

[ Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Saferv Plan Foss will remove hatches and then have a marine chemist certify the tank atmosphere safe

[ prior to entry by the Marine Surveyor er workers. A tugboat will remain in attendance until the barge is adequately moored and during loading operations.

4.3.2 BARGE BALLASTING /DEBALLASTING The barge will be ballasted using a controlled process to ground it in i- Trojan barge slip to allow the loaded transporter to be moved onto the barge. Once loaded, the barge will be refloated using a controlled deballasting process. Foss will have a marine chemist certify the tanks safe prior to entry by workers or the Marine Surveyor.

The ballasting /deballasting procedure will be developed by Glosten, and approved by PGE, to ensure barge integrity and stability during ballasting /deballasting conditions. The barge will be inspected prior to ballasting and after deballasting by the Marine Surveyor and the NCB to assure loading operations have not caused damage requiring repair prior to proceeding.

4.3.3 PREPARATIONS FOR BARGE LOADING Repairs, work involving welding or burning, or the use of power-actuated tools or appliances that may produce intense heat will be controlled at the waterfront facilities and

{ l on the barge while handling, storing, stowing, loading, discharging, or transporting the transporter / package assembly.

I While in use, the Trojan and Port of Benton barge slips will be free from rubbish, debris, and waste materials. Fire extinguishers and/or other emergency fire fighting equipment will be available for immediate use in the area. Equipment locations will be clearly marked. Trucks and other motor vehicles will not be permitted to remain or park upon the waterfront facility except when waiting to, or are in process of, loading or discharging cargo and attended by a driver, or located in a designated parking area. The Trojan barge loading area will be inspected by the USCG.

No debris that creates a fire hazard or a hazardous condition will be on the weather deck of the barge during loading or unloading operations. Decks, gangways, hatches, and cargo ports over which the transporter / package assembly must pass in loading or offloading will be free ofloose materials before cargo handling operations begin. Hatch covers will not be stowed in a location that would interfere with cargo handling.

4.3.4 BARGE LCADING, STOWAGE, AND INSPECTION A barge loading procedure and stowage configuration will be developed by Glosten and t approved by PGE to ensure barge integrity and stability during loading conditions.

Loading operations will follow the approved procedures and will be performed under specified conditions. Bigge will load and secure the assembly onto the barge. Radiation t 36 Revision 1

Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan and physical protection coverage will be provided as described in Sections 6.0 and 7.0, respectively. PGE will survey the barge prior to loading to verify surface contamination and external radiation levels are below the limits given in Table 6-1.

The transporter / package assembly will be loaded with the barge hard aground and a l tugboat standing by. The transporter will be driven onto the barge and properly positioned. The transporter / package assembly will be stowed on board the barge so that the cargo is placed in the approximate center of the barge. This position will permit safe I access to parts of the deck required in navigation and necessary working of the barge and allow for inspection during the voyage. The hydraulic system used to raise and lower the transporter platform will be depressurized to eliminate movement due to the hydraulic j I system. Any battery cables on the diesel engine (s) which power the hydraulic system will (

be disconnected. The transportedpackage assembly will be tied down to the barge using i i the engineered tiedown system described in Section 3.5. The barge as loaded with the transporter / package assembly is depicted in Figure 4-2.

Bigge, Fors, and PGE will each visually inspect the transporter-to-barge tiedown l installation to ensure it has been installed in accordance with design requirements and document their inspection.

I The Marine Surveyor, NCB, and USCG will inspect the condition of the barge and package stowage with tiedowns installed prior to departure. These inspections will be I performed to ensure the integrity of the barge and that the final stowage configuration complies with the approved designs and regulations.

The prime mover and other loading equipment will not be removed until the transporter / package assembly is safely secured on the barge. Labor activities on the barge after the cargo is loaded and in transit will be limited. Persons will not be allowed to I remain unnecessarily in the immediate vicinity of the package on deck.

4.3.5 PRE-DEPARTUREINSPECTIONS Foss will inspect the primary tug, backup tug, and barge to ensure there are no apparent l mechanical problems that may affect the capability to safely transport the package. Foss will check emergency equipment, safety, and lifesaving equipment, fire fighting equipment, electronics, and controls before departure and document the condition of these items. Deficient conditions will be resolved before leaving port. Separate checklists will be used for the barge and the tugboats. Each checklist will identify the barge, tugboat, crew, and location and date of inspection. Copies of the completed checklists will be given I

I to the COTP and included in the shipping documentation accompanying the shipment.

The tugboat, towing gear, and cable will be inspected by the Marine Surveyor prior to departure of the loaded barge and will be free of defects that might impair their functioning.

37

[ Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 4.3.6 RIVER TRANSIT Foss will pilot the barge from the Trojan barge slip to the Port of Benton barge slip. The barge will be pushed by the primary tug. The backup tug will cccompany the primary tug in case it fails at any time the package is on board the barge and the barge is not moored.

The Foss communication center will monitor the progress of the transport.

The primary and backup tugboats will each have a full operating crew consisting of two captains and two deckhands which provide 24-hour coverage. The tugboat captains and crew will have knowledge oflocal river conditions. They will possess licenses which meet the regulatory requirements in force for their duty positions and will be trained to handle hazardous materials. The tugboats will be manned on a 24-hour basis when the barge is not moored. Radiation protection coverage will be provided by PGE as described in Section 6.0.

Prior to departure, Foss will verify the primary and backup tug fuel tanks are full and check communications between the tug and the Foss communication center. During transport, the tug will contact the Foss communication center at least once every four hours. The maximum speed will be 10 knots. Slower spe'eds may be required at times because of local conditions, such as traffic. Appropriate safety and security measures will be adopted and enforced by the USCG, including a moving safety zone and an escort, if required.

The tugboat captains will take usual and necessary precautions while navigating the river, paying particular attention to hazards. Tugboat crews will observe the proper functioning of equipment prior to, and during, the voyage. Transit of the barge will only be halted to avoid hazardous conditions, to await passage through a lock, or await safe navigation conditions, such as upriver from the Port of Pasco (where transit must be made during daylight hours). When moored, appropriate measures will be taken to restrict unauthorized access to the barge.

The river between Pasco and the Port of Benton is unmarked and uncharted and will be transited in daylight hours only.

Foss will report any deviations or problems encountered in transit to the PGE Transportation Coordinator immediately.

4.3.7 PREPARATION FOR BARGE OFFLOADING In order to carry out offloading at the slip, PGE will make arrangements with the ACE's

( Reservoir Control Center to maintain the river elevation within a specified range at the Port of Benton during the cargo discharge. The river elevations at the Port of Benton barge slip fluctuate hourly as discharge from the Priest Rapid Dam and Ice Harbor Dam,

[ both of which are electrical generating stations, is raised or lowered to meet electrical demand, r

38 i

Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan Divers will inspect the Port of Benton barge slip within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months of ballasting the barge onto the slip to verify that debris has not been deposited that would be detrimental to the barge. The Port of Benton barge offloading area will also be inspected by the USCG.

A barge offloading procedure will be developed by Glosten and approved by PGE to I ensure barge integrity and stability during offloading conditions. Offloading operations will follow approved procedures and be performed under specified conditions. Foss will position the barge for offloading the transporter / package assembly at the Port of Benton.

I A tugboat will remain in attendance until the barge is adequately moored and during offloading operations. The barge will be ballasted using the ballasting /deballasting procedure in order to ground it in the Port of Benton barge slip to allow the loaded transporter's removal from the barge.

4.3.8 OFFLOADING TRANSPORTER FROM BARGE l

The offloading process will, in general, be the reverse of the loading process. The l transporter / package assembly will be offloaded with the barge hard aground and a tugboat standing by. Once preparations (specifkd in the barge offloading procedure) are complete, g Lampson will remove tiedowns and move the transporter off the barge onto the landing.

l Radiation and physical protection coverage will be provided as described in Sections 6.0 and 7.0, respectively.

Lampson will inspect the transporter and prime mover to ensure the veliicles are working properly and conform with applicable State and Federal safety standards. The WSP will perform a CVSA inspection of the transporter and prime mover prior to it leaving the Port I of Benton. (Alternately the WSP may perform part of the CVSA inspection prior to the transporter leaving Trojan.)

4.4 PORT OF BENTON AND US ECOLOGY SITE TRANSIT I Lampson will transport the transporter / package assembly to the US Ecology burial site.

Procedures for transporting and unloading for burial operations will be developed and used I by Lampson. PGE will review and approve the procedures prior to their use.

The transporter / package assembly will travel to the US Ec~ ology site, approximately 30 I miles from the barge slip, with a maximum overland transport speed of five miles per hour. A portion of this route is the same route that has been used to transport l decommissioned reactors for the U.S. Navy. DynCorp Services will escort the shipment I and control traffic in the vicinity of the transporter during the overland transit. In addition, Dyncorp will have railroad traffic suspended during the transit.

I Prior to entry at the burial site, the transporter / package assembly will be inspected for acceptance by WDOH and US Ecology. Once accepted, the transporter will be moved into 39

{ Reactor Yessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan a trench prepared for the RVP. Lampson will remove the tiedown system and unload the

(- package from the transporter. Lampson will then remove the transporter from the trench.

4.5 RFI FASE OF BARGE. TUGBOATS. AND TRANSPORTER Prior to releasing the barge and rugboats from the Port of Benton for unrestricted use, PGE i or US Ecology will survey and decontaminate them, if necessary, to acceptable limits.

Prior to releasing the transporter and prime movers from the disposal site for unrestricted l

[ use, US Ecology will survey and decontaminate them, if necessary, to acceptable limits.

PGE will restore the barge to a pre-shipment state agreeable to the barge owner. This generally will involve removing ancillary equipment, tiedown anchor points, deck features,

)

and similar devices installed to accommodate the specific shipment.

Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Saferv Plan 6.0 RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS PGE will implement radiological protection measures to control radiation exposure to individuals working on and around the package during the transportation phase of the RVAIR project. PGE will provide personnel and equipment necessary for monitoring radiation levels and personnel exposures. Every effort will be made to maintain radiation exposures to individuals ALARA. A description of the radioactive material and its packaging are found in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Abnormal events or occurrences are I addressed in Section 5.0.

6.1 PGE RADIATION PROTECTION (RP) REPRESENTATIVE I The PGE RP Representative will accompany the shipment. The PGE RP Representative will be trained in the principles of health physics and equipped with appropriate radiation protection instruments to provide radiological support and coverage during the shipment.

l The PGE RP Representative will perform inspections and monitor the package, transporter, and barge during the transportation process. The PGE RP Representative will I

l be present during barge loading and offloading and will be on board the primary tug to l monitor radiation levels and personnel exposure. The PGE RP Representative will act in an advisory capacity to the PGE Transportation Coordinator and the lead field representative. The PGE RP Representative will be immediately available to respond to I any abnormal radiological conditions and will advise and assist authorities who may respond to an incident.

6.2 RADIATION PROTECTION EOUIPMENT PGE will supply radiation protection instruments and equipment and signs, ropes, and barricades as needed. Dosimetry will be provided and located as specified by PGE. PGE will provide protective equipment, clothing, and other materials required for radiological protection prior to, and during, the shipment.

I 6.3 EXPOSURE CONTROL Radiation limits and exposures of individuals will be controlled in accordance with State and Federal regulatory requirements. PGE will review plans for activities in the vicinity of the package during loading, offloading, tiedown operations, package surveillance, or tiedown inspection. Worker exposures will be monitored and estimates made of the

[ radiation exposure that may be received during these activities to ensure that radiation exposures do not exceed acceptable limits.

L 47 Revision 1

~

) '

h. F Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan Activities in'the vicinity of the loaded package will be administratively controlled to

' maintain radiation exposure ALARA. The PGE RP Representative will keep persons

. working on, or around, the package informed of radiological conditions.

6.4 RADIATION WORKER ORIENTATION TRAINING Workers allowed to work on and around the package will receive radiation worker orientation training. The training will include instruction in health protection problems associated with exposure to radioactive materials or radiation, in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices. Workers will be instructed to obey posted, written, and verbal instructions from the PGE RP Representative on matters concerning radiological safety.

Basic radiological control procedures and other specific information contained in the shipping papers and reference documentation will be used to brief personnel who will work on and around the package.

6.5 RADIOLOGICAL SURVEYS i

PGE will perform appropriate external radiation and surface contamination surveys of the package prior to transport. PGE will also perform appropriate surveys of the transporter, J barge deck area, and tugboat prict to, and after, use to ensure that radiation levels are within the limits in Table 6-1, and that there is no loose radioactive material. They will not be returned to their owners until the radiation and contamination levels are below the limits.

Specific radiological surveys of the package, transporter, and barge will be performed as listed in Table 6-1.

__________-----------q Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 7.0 PHYSICAL PROTECTION PGE, Foss, and the Hanford Patrol will provide physical protection and access control to r the package during shipment to protect the safety of the general public and workers and to support implemen(ation of radiation protection measures.

7.1 SHIPMENT ACCESS CONTROL The transporter / package assembly will be escorted to the Trojan barge slip by PGE security personnel from the Industrial Area. PGE security personnel will remain in I attendance while it is loaded onto the barge and until the barge is underway. Once the barge is underway, access will be controlled by the Foss tugboat crew and the PGE RP Representative accompanying the shipment aboard the tugboat. The Hanford l Patrol will provide access control of the shipment during barge offloading at the Port of Benton and transit across the Hanford Reservation. The PGE RP Representative l accompanying the shipment will continue to control access to the package for radiological control purposes.

r l During overnight tie-ups or unscheduled stops, appropriate measures will be taken to restrict unauthorized access to the barge and/or the transporter / package assembly.

I 7.2 PUBLIC PROTECTION DURING TRANSIT Normal physical protection measures required to protect the public during the voyage will be as described above unless otherwise provided for by PGE. The shipment will be escorted as described in Section 3.7. In addition, the USCG will adopt and enforce safety I and security measures deemed appropriate for the shipment while it is being transported upriver. Control at the locks is underjurisdiction of the ACE. Local law enforcement and emergency management agencies will be notified (via OERS for Oregon counties and the WSDO for Washington counties) during overnight tie-ups or unscheduled steps.

l Foss, Bigge, and Lampson will keep the PGE Transportation Coordinator completely informed of any intentional or organized obstruction to transport of the shipment. The PGE Transportation Coordinator will notify local authorities (via OERS for Oregon l counties and the WSDO for Washington counties) in accordance with the incident reporting procedure described in Section 5.1.

I 7.3 PIRACY Unlike some types of nuclear materials this radioactive material has no particular value, nor does it pose a great enough public health hazard to be used as a threat for ransom.

Therefore, the prime mover driver and the tugboat captain will be instructed to take L 50

Reactor Vessel and Internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan reasonable measures to protect the cargo, but not to take any exceptional risk to personnel or property in doing so. I t
