摘要

As part of its broad commitment to protecting public health and the environment,the U.S.Department of Energy (DOE)is decommissioning the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor(BGRR).The BGRR was an air-cooled graphite moderated reactor like many built in the U.S.and U.K.after World War II.The BGRR was the first reactor built for the sole purpose of providing neutrons for scientific research,and operated from 1950 to 1968. rnThe team of Burns and Roe Enterprises,Inc.(BREI),Babcock Services,Inc.(BSI),and WMG,Inc.(WMG)was commissioned by Brookhaven National Laboratory(BNL)to evaluate and analyze the stability,and progressive decommissioning and removal of BGRR components.This analysis took the form of several detailed decommissioning studies that range from disassembly and removal of the unit’s graphite pile to the complete environmental restoration of the reactor site. rnThe studies provide a decision-making tool for the final end state of the facility.To meet this need,key parameters are fully developed,and include removal methodologies(based on CERCLA criteria),waste streams and volumes, cost and schedule,and total man-rem exposure. rnWhile most of the facility’s decommissioning effort is conventional,the graphite pile and its biological shield present the greatest challenge.The studies develop a unique method of removing high-activity waste(primarily from fuel failures)trapped in the graphite joints by over-boring the fuel channels and collecting the debris.Once the high-activity waste is removed,the remainder of the pile lends itself to dismantlement by a compact,electrically powered demolition machine with standard end-effectors. rnThis methodology for graphite handling and disposal at the relatively small BGRR pile sets the stage for decommissioning of the larger U.K.reactors.With these reactors,special considerations such as Wigner energy and high-activity debris,necessitates a waiting period of up to one hundred years.The BGRR decommissioning model therefore would provide useful and early baseline data that can be applied directly and proactively to the planning and remediation of the U.K.reactors.
