- Description
- CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC (CWI), is a FAR Based Contractor under contract with the Department of Energy (DOE) to perform cleanup at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site near Idaho Falls, Idaho. CWI is seeking qualified businesses that have thorough knowledge, experience and resources to perform the following work for a future solicitation. The sodium-cooled Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR‑II) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was in service from 1964 through 1994, after which it was shut down and drained. Of the hundreds of gallons of sodium residue that remains in the primary and secondary systems, most has been reacted ("passivated") with moist carbon dioxide into sodium bicarbonate. However, there still exists non-passivated sodium; it resides mostly in the sodium storage tank and associated piping. EBR-II was placed under a RCRA permit in 2002 by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) that requires treatment and removal of the residual sodium using water. This is to be completed by 2022. The recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided funding for Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) of EBR-II along with its associated residual sodium, with a stipulated completion by the end of December 2011. Bench-scale testing efforts are currently being pursued to simulate the use of steam treatment on partially passivated sodium as well. The Subcontractor shall provide and operate a steam treatment system as requested by CWI for the reaction of residual sodium metal. The Work includes treatment and removal of non-passivated residual sodium metal safely and effectively using steam and to remove the treatment process residue using water. Also to evaluate the bench-scale test data to assess the effectiveness and safety of steam treatment of passivated sodium, and as deemed appropriate, to treat and remove some or all of the partially passivated sodium as well. The estimated period of performance for these services will be six months with an estimated value range of $150,000 to $250,000.
