The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) 2-ton crane system (ATR-C-3) has reached the end of its useful life. Replacement of the crane is needed to continue facility operations. The proposed action would replace all components of the crane system (except for rails attached to the overhead building structure if they are found adequate by the vendor). The new crane would interface with the electrical power. Paint on the old crane is pre-1980 and may potentially contain lead and/or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) paint. Although not anticipated, wiring could contain asbestos insulation.
