【 摘 要 】

This final report of the decontamination and decommissioning (D and D) of the Argonne National Laboratory-East (ANL-E) 60'' Cyclotron Accelerator Facility contains descriptions and evaluations of activities performed, and results obtained in connection with the Cyclotron D&D Project. It provides the following information: Objective of the Cyclotron D and D Project; A brief history of the Cyclotron facility; Overall descriptions of the Cyclotron facility and the ANL-E site; An overview of the D and D activities performed in connection with the Cyclotron D and D Project; Summary of the final status of the Cyclotron facility, including results of the final and confirmation surveys; Final cost and schedule for the Cyclotron D and D Project; Summaries of personnel exposure and total waste generated in connection with this project; and Final facility condition. This project final report was written in accordance with the requirements of the ANL-E D and D Project Planning Guidance Manual and the ANL-E D and D Program Management Plan. It covers the entire Cyclotron D and D Project, from the initiation of D&D activities to final project closeout. At the conclusion of the Independent Verification Survey (IVS), the Cyclotron facility was released for unrestricted reuse. Residual, elevated activity remains in inaccessible areas, however. The upper floor of the Cyclotron vault contains readily measurable radioactivity from neutron activation of the concrete and other structures resulting from Cyclotron operations. In accessible areas, the exposure rate criteria in DOE Order 5400.5, i.e., less than 20 (micro)R/hr, was met. No Radiation Work Permits (RWPs), radiation monitors, or other radiological controls are needed to enter the area. There is no planned use for the former Cyclotron vault and hot lab areas at this time. The issuance of this report signifies the conclusion of the Cyclotron D&D Project and the transfer of the Cyclotron facility from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management roster to the landlord.
