【 摘 要 】

A hazard analysis was performed to identify and evaluate hazards associated with the installation and subsequent operation of the Plutonium Stabilization and Packaging Equipment (SPE) at the Plutonium Finishing Plant (PFP). The SPE is designed to handle the packaging of Pu oxide, mixed Pu-uranium oxides, and Pu metals. This document provides the methodology used in the hazard analysis and the corresponding results. The Hazards and Operability Study (HazOp) technique was used in identifying the hazards associated with the SPE. The scope of the HazOp includes transporting the PFP convenience cans from the storage vaults to the SPE room, preparing and packaging ofthe material into 3013 packages using the SPE, and transport ofthe 3013 packages to the non-destructive analysis (NDA) lab or storage vault. The HazOp analysis also included construction activities associated with the modifications of the support utilities for the SPE, and the installation of support trailers.
