IMPACT Services, Inc. Announces the Completion of Crystal River Large Component Project

IMPACT Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the completion of a large component project at our Heritage Center Processing Facility located at the K-25 ETTP site in Oak Ridge, TN. IMPACT provided packaging, shipping, processing, and final disposition of Moisture Separator Reheaters (MSRs) from the Progress Energy Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Plant. In this full-service project IMPACT provided all required labor, tools, equipment, material, parts, transportation, and supervision necessary to complete the project on-time and on-budget. Over 350,000 pounds of material was recycled from the project, and the remaining 380,000 pounds was disposed as Bulk Survey for Release material.

Receipt of CR MSRs by Rail The MSRs arrived on rail cars at our Heritage Center Processing Facility's onsite rail spur on July 13, 2011.

Incoming Survey IMPACT Health Physicists and Technicians performed necessary samples, measurements, and radiological surveys upon receipt of the components. All data was analyzed to ensure the components were in compliance with our radioactive material license.

Lifting MSRs from Rail Cars Proper rigging & handling procedures were employed to remove MSRs from the rail cars and place them on crawler-type trailers for movement around the facility.

Moving First MSR into Building on Crawle MSRs were staged onsite where they awaited further assessment before being cut into pieces suitably-sized for disposal.

MSR Cut up Pieces with Surveys Individual pieces were radiologically surveyed and were either recycled or disposed as Bulk Survey for Release material.
