TAFS Codes: 89-0216. PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Not Applicable. REGULATIONS, GUIDELINES, AND LITERATURE: gram Descriptions OBJECTIVES: EM R&D and validation Testing provides necessary investments in mid to long range research projects to address radioactive waste treatment and storage safety. These R&DT projects are targeted at high priority technical issues, gaps, operations, or safety concerns to clean up the Nations legacy of defense-related radioactive wastes. The technologies developed in this R&DT program will identify or improve the current waste treatment baseline, develop new or augmented cost-effective technologies or methods, provide advanced technologies/methods for insertion into new or existing waste treatment facilities/infrastructures, address known technology gaps, and reduce project technical risk and uncertainty. This meets the Departmental goal to accelerate waste treatment, clean-up, and provide risk reduction to the public. For example, R&DT for High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are needed to improve the performance and validation of currently available HEPA filters in upset conditions (e.g. fires). In addition, R&DT into HEPA filters under various normal and upset test conditions will help determine valuable operational information (i.e., develop suggested controls and operational methods, and identify failure modes) that can be applied at various commercial and Government/military facilities that treat, store, or process nuclear material or waste streams (e.g. commercial nuclear power facilities), or filter out hazardous particulates or dust for commercial microelectronic clean rooms or hospital operations. This research and testing may increase the protective nature of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) AG-1 Code (Code on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment), enhance the ability of professionals to design filters and air filtration systems, and reduce uncertainty in the development of standard operating procedures for facilities involved in nuclear containment ventilation activities. Improving the durability of HEPA filters used in nuclear containment is a key component in protecting the worker and general population in the event of a fire at a nuclear facility, particularly segments of the population near nuclear facilities. TYPES OF ASSISTANCE: Cooperative Agreements USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS: Financial assistance is provided in support of the program objectives. A publicly owned agency or organization established to perform specialized functions or services for the benefit of all or part of the general public either without charge or at cost, making no profits and having no shareholders to receive dividends.

Beneficiary Eligibility: The following organizations will significantly benefit from improved, more reliable, and safer advanced HEPA filters: Federal/ State radioactive treatment and/or storage facilities, commercial nuclear power industry, workers in a radioactive environment, industrial, military or medical processes that require very stringent filtering and the general public, particularly landowners or homeowners in proximity to radioactive facilities. Indirect benefits include more accurate known and understood HEPA filter failure mechanisms and limits, margins, and operational constraints, especially in emergency situations such as fire or a seismic event. Indirect benefits include deceased operating costs, and potentially improvements to the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) AG-1 code, the US national consensus standard for nuclear air handling and treatment systems.
