CX-018567: The Fuels and Applied Sciences Building Uranium Fire Training

The Fuels and Applied Sciences Building is primarily used to conduct fuel cycle research. Research-scale experimental fuel is produced by cleaning, alloying, forming, encapsulation, etc. The Fuels and Applied Sciences Building is also used to perform characterization and houses sample preparation equipment, microscopes, and other analytical equipment. Research personnel need to be trained for proper responses to unexpected uranium fires. The proposed action meets this need by reacting DOE-owned depleted uranium in a controlled environment--The Fuels and Applied Sciences Building East Hood B.
