Non-UF6 Processing Facility

Drums of mixed radioactive process and waste materials required opening, characterization, and repackaging.
Materials required a high level of isolation, containment, special handling, and special processing due to the nature of their constituents.

RPS acted as the prime contractor for this turn-key containment and processing facility, and was the lead design agency for the containment, air, control, and safety systems.
RPS lead a team of sub-contractors for engineering, erection, and acceptance testing of the facility and systems.
Project facility and systems included:
- Modular panel containment (MPC) enclosure, a secondary containment processing facility.
- Negative pressure enclosure (NPE), a 4 station gloved enclosure primary containment for material characterization and repack.
- Fire suppression & control systems for both the MPC & NPE.
- MPC HEPA filtration unit, controls and duct systems.
- NPE HEPA/HEGA filtration and PID control systems.
- Material handling and operations equipment for process control.
Project fast tracked and completed in 5 months.
