Demolition Safety

Marker 3

Control – DOE is using technologies, including a tacky fixative (like a sticky spray paint) and water sprays, on X-326 to keep dust from forming and spreading during demolition.  Dust can carry contamination through the air.  Preventing dust from forming traps contamination in the X-326 site.  DOE also uses mesh netting to capture larger, light weight items.  Another control is that DOE stops demolition work when there is a hard wind (steady above 15 miles per hour at about 32 feet off the ground).  All of these controls keep contamination in the X-326 site so it can be safely managed as debris and disposed. Trucks used to take the debris to the On Site Waste Disposal Facility have a tarp and sealed end gates to keep contamination from spreading.
