“Moving to days in F Area, frees up manpower for other important missions on-site,” said Mooneyhan. This effort has involved multiple organizations from around SRS and required them to take a significant deep dive into the preparations to set up the area for the transition. Transitioning away from 24-hour operations has come with challenges and obstacles ranging from available resources due to COVID-19, to the implementation of two nuclear safety basis revisions happening concurrently within the facility. F Canyon deactivation was completed in 2010 and is awaiting decommissioning. F Canyon chemically dissolved and processed spent nuclear fuel, much like the H Canyon facility at SRS continues to do today. Historically, F Canyon was used as chemical separations facility to recover plutonium-239 and uranium-238. Additionally, DOE-HQ recently approved Excessing of F/H Labs and support structures. Deactivation of the legacy F/H Laboratory is projected to complete in FY2027. Between FY2018 and FY2021, 45 labs no longer in use were placed in layup, which will help accelerate deactivation. All 59 Laboratory Methods have been relocated and established in A Area. To reduce costs and streamline capabilities, SRNS and SRNL completed a multi-year project to relocate analytical services and methods from SRNL’s analytical laboratory facilities in F Area to SRNL’s main laboratory in A Area, several miles away. Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) has performed analytical sampling from radiochemical processing and radiological environmental monitoring programs at facilities across the site for over 55 years and utilized one of F Area’s legacy facilities, the F/H Analytical Laboratory. Deactivation is scheduled to complete in Sept. Deactivation will place the facility in a stable condition for long term safe storage until the eventual decommissioning. Its operations have benefited the nation’s defense, NASA and DOE. However, recent cessation of analytical operations, implementation of new DOE approved technical safety requirements for facility operations -called a Safety Basis- and deactivation progress have allowed us to move to days.”īuilding 235-F at SRS was part of the original construction in the early 1950s and was utilized for several production missions throughout its operational life, each of which has left a mark on the robust facility. “These facilities are in various stages of facility deactivation, and surveillance and maintenance, which have required operators to be present in the area 24/7. “The three main facilities in F Area Complex are Building 235-F, the F/H Analytical Laboratory, and the F Canyon chemical separations facility,” said Verne Mooneyhan, F Area Facility Manager for SRS’s managing and operating contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. (January 12, 2022) - – The Savannah River Site (SRS) continues to make progress toward area closure in the Site’s F Area Complex, with the reduction from 24-hour coverage to day operations in November 2021.
