Nuclear Materials: Plutonium Storage at DOE's Rocky Flats Plant

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Dec. 29, 1994
Report No. RCED-95-49
Subject
Summary:

The Energy Department (DOE) faces a variety of important, unresolved safety problems with plutonium storage at the Rocky Flats Plant in Colorado. When the plant was shut down in 1989, DOE intended to restart operations in a few months and plutonium was left in place or packaged for short-term storage. However, the operations were never restarted and the plutonium stayed where it was, raising concerns about plutonium liquid leaking from pipes and tanks, fire hazards, and worker exposure to plutonium. Although DOE has efforts under way to address these problems, important decisions, such as what to do with the plutonium residues, have yet to be made. As a result, estimating the time frames and the total cost for resolving the concerns is difficult. In any event, fully implementing DOE's programs will take many years and will likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
