46 -- WATER DECONTAMINATION FOR WASTE ENCAPSULATION AND STORAGE FACILITY POC J.B. Calhoun (509) 373-0656. Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) is seeking interested sources to provide technical support and services for water decontamination of Hanford's Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF) capsule storage pools. These temporary services must be available for the unlikely possibility of an event resulting from failure of one cesium137 or strontium 90 capsule or the catastrophic failure of all 1300 cesium and 600 strontium capsules. Sources must demonstrate their technical ability to design and develop a portable emergency response Ion Exchange system which is capable to the structural requirements of the Hanford site WESF, previous demonstrations of decontaminating water contaminated with radioactive materials, the ability to develop recovery procedures meeting State and Federal requirements and the expertise to train facility personnel to follow these procedures during required annual live testing demonstrations of the equipment, provided services must include the capability to recover and remove contaminated materials for disposal away from the Hanford site. Possible failure parameters must provide for a range from single capsule of 40,000 curies to catastrophic failure of 75,000,000 curies. Expressions of interest with statements of capabilities, including requests for possible FY 96 RFP packages may be sent via facsimile on (509) 373-2280, Attention J.B. Calhoun. No compensation will be provided for efforts associated with preparing submittals and interested sources may not be notified of the results of the information submitted. (157)
