March Lunch Meeting
Topic: Geospatial Integration for Remediation and D&D Project at PORTS
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) was constructed by the United States Atomic Energy Commission to provide enriched uranium for the nation’s nuclear defense system and later for use in commercial nuclear power reactors. The plant enriched uranium from 1954 until 2001. Fluor-Babcock & Wilcox (FBP) under the supervision of the DOE started the process of the demolition and remediation of the remaining structures including the gaseous diffusion process buildings and remaining support facilities.
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has played a critical role since the beginning of the remediation and Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) part of the project. This presentation will give an overview of the challenges to implement and develop an enterprise GIS that can serve the environmental/remediation, engineering and maintenance groups. Furthermore it will show the current use and future implementations of geospatial technologies at the site to achieve a more integrated GIS. This presentation will also show how data sharing/standardization are playing a key role at the site.
