Number of analyses per year is relatively constant
Weekly, Quarterly, Semi-annual, Rainfall event driven (EMWMF)
Dynamic analytical suite for the EMWMF
8000 analyses performed in FY14
Total cost for analytical services $1.2M

8. Water Quality and Environmental Compliance

9. Water Quality and Environmental Compliance Sampling and Analysis
Samples
Groundwater
Surface Water
Outfalls
Runoff
Air Monitoring
Annual sampling for Water Quality is relatively constant
Environmental Compliance varies some, but overall is constant
21,000 analyses performed in FY14
Total cost for analytical services $1.4M

10. Waste Management and Disposition
UCOR has taken a proactive and aggressive approach to waste management
Waste is characterized and shipped as it is generated
The majority of legacy waste has been dispositioned
1400 analyses performed on waste materials in FY14
Total cost for analytical services $175K

11. Y-12 Outfall 200 Treatability Study and Conceptual Design
Outfall 200 at right; Flow Augmentation at left

12. Mercury Treatment Facility at Outfall 200
UCOR has performed treatability studies in support of the conceptual design report.
Pre-design studies are now underway.
Anticipated construction beginning in 2017
Operations starting in 2020.
The proposed facility can treat 1,500 gallons of water per minute.
The treatment facility will be NPDES permitted

13. Site Remediation Expected increase in soil samples from the ETTP site
Driven by the Zone 1 and Zone 2 Records of Decision (RODs)
Some will be associated with land transfers and footprint reduction
Will require very low reporting levels in some cases depending on final disposition of parcel
~$10K spent on remediation in FY 2014

14. Bioassay and Industrial Hygiene
Bioassay Program
2500 analyses
$250K
Will see a decrease in FT 2015 due to changes in program requirements
Industrial Hygiene Program
2600 analyses
$225K
Expected to remain relatively constant through 2015

17. Analytical Support Summary
Analytical laboratories performed over 38,000 analyses in support of UCOR projects in FY 2014
The total cost for analytical services in FY 2014 was ~$4M
FY 2015 analytical support is expected to remain largely unchanged
New D&D characterization projects are expected to be added to the current scope as K-27 and K-31 are completed
Landfill, Water Quality, and Environmental Compliance Program needs are expected to remain constant
Analytical needs for waste characterization associated with the Waste Disposition Program are expected to decrease about 15-20%
Bioassay requirements are expected to decline approximately 50%
Industrial Hygiene sampling is expected to remain constant

22. K-25 Retrospective
The “U” was the first stage of the K-25 Plant. It came online in 1945.

23. K-25 Retrospective
The K-25 building was 4 stories high and almost a half mile long.
The building enclosed some 2 million square feet of space, making it the largest building in the world at the time.
The final stages of the plant did not come on line until mid-August 1945.
Maximum enrichment during the war was about 20%.
The eventual cost of the K-25 complex would be over $500 million.
Even though the plant was fully automated, 9,000 employees working in three shifts were needed to operate the plant.

24. K-25 Retrospective
Because the uranium hexafluoride gas which was pumped through the building attacked grease, new pump seals had to be developed that were both gas tight and greaseless. The new seal material developed came to be known after the war as Teflon.
In April 1945, a second gaseous diffusion plant, K-27, was started. It would come on line in January 1946 and make all of the other uranium separation processes obsolete.
After the war additional gaseous diffusion buildings were built to increase production of enriched uranium (K-29, K-31, K-33).
The original K-25/K-27 facility was shut down in 1964 after operating without error for 20 years.
The rest of the gaseous diffusion plant was shut down in 1987.

25. K-25 Retrospective
The final wall of the K-25 Facility comes down…

26. K-25 Retrospective
UCOR completed demolition of the K-25 facility in June 2014
6 months ahead of schedule
DOE realized a cost savings of ~$225M from the early completion
Slab characterization is underway
