"Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) Fire Water Replacement and Upgrades
CX(s) Applied: B2.5
Date: 41849
Location(s): Idaho
Offices(s): Nuclear Energy
The existing combined fire/potable water supply and distribution system at Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC), including the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT), has been identified as being unreliable since a single fault can prevent the system from operating as required. Additionally, the fire water supply to TREAT has also been found inadequate based upon water flow testing. Replacement of portions of the existing fire water/potable water distribution system and installation of a new storage tank, pumps, and other components is needed to provide a reliable and adequate water supply and distribution system for fire suppression and a potable water distribution system for use at MFC and TREAT and for protection of personnel and equipment.
