L -- TOKAMAK FUSION TEST REACTOR (TFTR) TOKAMAK REMOVAL SOL RFP NO. 95-049K DUE 050995 POC Michael Karl, (609) 243-2076, Subcontract Administrator L -- TOKAMAK FUSION TEST REACTOR (TFTR) SHUTDOWN AND REMOVAL (S&R). TFTR Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) experiments are currently scheduled to be completed in September 1995. The D-T operations will result in the TFTR machine structure becoming radiologically activated, and plasma facing and vacuum components becoming contaminated with Tritium. The resulting machine activation levels, after a two-year cooldown period, will allow hands-on dismantling for external structures, but will require semi-remote dismantling for the vacuum vessel. The primary objective for the Shutdown and Removal (S&R) Project is to ready the facility for construction of a new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) experimental fusion device by August 1999. The S&R Project schedule calls for a two-year shutdown period during which Tritium decontamination of the vacuum vessel, neutral beam injectors, and other components will occur. Shutdown will be followed by an 18 month period of removal operations for the tokamak itself. The technical objectives of the S&R Project are to: safely dismantle and remove components from the Test Cell Complex; package disassembled components in accordance with applicable regulations; ship packages to a DOE approved disposal or material recycling site; and develop expertise using semi-remote disassembly techniques on a large scale fusion facility. The TFTR Tokamak Removal effort includes tokamak removal studies and engineering leading to completion of the final design, and actual removal of the tokamak, neutral beamlines, vacuum pumping ducts and tritium systems. Specific requirements are set forth in RFP No. 95-049K. The anticipated release date for the solicitation package is March 28, 1995. Subcontract award is to take place in September, 1995, subject to the availability of funds. This notice is not a solicitation of offers. Requests for a copy of the solicitation package should be submitted to Michael Karl, Subcontract Administrator. Only written requests for the solicitation package will be honored and may be faxed to (609) 243-2021. Interested parties must confirm their interest by responding to this notice (responses to previous CBD announcements do not apply). Interested parties are also advised that a TFTR S&R Reading Room has been established. The reading room contains documents pertinent to the design and estimated cost of S&R efforts. Please telephone Mr. G.R. Walton at (609) 243-3279 for appointments. Photocopying facilities are available. (0060)
