Use of Fixatives to Accelerate Building Decontamination and Decommissioning (D and D)

The Office of Decontamination and Decommissioning (D and D) and Facility Engineering is developing the D and D Toolbox to reduce risk and technical uncertainty in the Department's cleanup programs and projects. The D and D Toolbox Project uses an integrated systems approach to develop an innovative suite of D and D technologies that can be readily used across the DOE complex to reduce technical risks, improve safety, and limit uncertainty within D and D operations. In support of the D and D Toolbox the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has identified the highest risk facilities at Oak Ridge and the associated technical risk or technology issues. (authors)
