2 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy
Safety
• HFIR/REDC– Limited access areas, signage, barriers– Safety showers, PPE, required site training– Radiation scan at end of tour– High amounts of shielding against high-flux neutrons
• Safeguards Laboratory– Closed-toed shoes/Long pants
• Graphite Reactor– Handrails on stairs to second floor
3 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy
Security
• HFIR/REDC– Gated entrance– Prox card scanners– Log book– Cameras focused on spent fuel area– Follow NRC guidelines for transport between HFIR and REDC
• Safeguards Laboratory– Prox card scanners– Limited access to source cage
• Graphite Reactor– Barb wire fence guarding 233U stockpile– No scanner for building– Tours common
4 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy
Inspection
• HFIR/REDC– Periodic shut down for reactor maintenance/inspection/refueling
• Safeguards Laboratory– Detectors/Imaging for inspection
• Graphite Reactor– Not operated anymore…no inspection
5 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy
Material Control and Accountability (MC&A)
• HFIR/REDC– Non-destructive analysis of material samples using Neutron Activation
Analysis (NAA) for forensics
• Safeguards Laboratory– Detectors/Imaging equipment for NDA and holdup determination
• Graphite Reactor– Old control room for material balances– Not operated anymore…No MC&A
