May 9, 2016The current raw water supply to the Radioanalytical Chemistry Laboratory (RaCL), building TRA-1627, at the Advanced Test Reactor Complex is not reliable due to poor condition of underground water lines along Marlin Avenue. Failure of the line causes safety issues that interrupt operations at RaCL for extended periods of time. The proposed action is needed to provide an uninterrupted supply of non-potable water to laboratories in TRA-1627. The proposed action would provide a connection to the fire water supply line in TRA-1627, so laboratory non-potable water needs can be supplied from either the raw water or fire water supplies. The project would involve piping modifications in Mechanical Room 119 in TRA-1627.
