JOB OVERVIEW

Provide services and support as a Industrial Hygiene Technician (IHT) (IH103) at Savannah River Site / Aiken, South Carolina

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES - Industrial Hygiene Technician (IHT) - Industrial Hygiene (IH103)

Provide support as a Industrial Hygiene Technician (IHT) working for/supporting US Fusion And Specialty Construction | US Rubber And Specialty Applications as a ProSidian Engagement Team Member at The Saltstone Facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS).  For the successful execution of this contract, a Industrial Hygiene Technician (IHT) is required on-site as part of the engagement team for job site management to execute this contract successfully.

Work shall be located at Z Area at the Savannah River Site - The tank is SDU 10.  The Z Area at the Savannah River Site (SRS) is associated with the site's waste management operations. The Savannah River Site is a key Department of Energy (DOE) facility that manages nuclear materials and waste.  Z Area is specifically known for its role in the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The area houses the Saltstone Disposal Units (SDUs), which are massive, engineered tanks designed to safely store and dispose of decontaminated salt solution mixed with cement, fly ash, and slag to form a solid waste form known as siltstone.

SDU 10 is one of these large storage tanks within the Z Area. It is part of the broader effort to manage and eventually dispose of millions of gallons of liquid waste stored in underground tanks at the site. The liquid waste is first processed to separate out the high-level radioactive waste, and the remaining decontaminated salt solution is then treated and stored in SDUs like SDU 10.  SDU 10, like other units, is built with rigorous engineering and safety standards to ensure the containment of the waste material, preventing any release to the environment. These units are part of a long-term strategy to reduce the environmental risk of liquid waste stored at SRS.

The Scope Of Work includes SDU10-12 Interior Protective Covering(s) and Height Marking, which entails the installation of a liner to interior concrete surfaces of Saltstone Disposal Units (SDUs) 10, 11, and 12 at the Savannah River Site Facility Code(s): SS/SALTSTONE.  Each structure has an average inside diameter of 375 feet and a height of 43 feet. Each contains 208 roof support columns that are 2 feet in diameter.  The protective covering(s) shall perform two (2) primary functions: 1) structure leak tightness and 2) chemical protection.  A Leak Tight Liner System (LTLS) shall be used to achieve leak tightness within the SDU structure. The installed LTLS shall withstand an approximately 43-foot hydrostatic leak test using a dye tracer with zero leakage (leak-tight structure). The Liquid Waste Contractor (LWC) will perform the required leak testing.  LTLS shall cover all concrete surfaces that form the liquid containment boundary, including floor, floor-to-column-transition, floor/wall joint, wall, and the bottom 6 inches (minimum) of roof support columns.  Embed plates shall be coated with Chemical Resistant Coating System (CRCS) where LTLS is absent.

Background:  The Saltstone Facility at the Savannah River Site (SRS) disposes of low-level radioactive salt solution from liquid waste processing facilities. The Saltstone Facility immobilizes low-level radioactive salt solution waste by mixing it with a dry material mixture of fly ash, slag, and possibly cement to produce a flowable grout mixture. This grout is poured into large concrete disposal units where it cures to become Saltstone, a non-hazardous material, for permanent disposal. These large concrete disposal units are called SDUs.
