Very good/In plastic case. Contents are Training Files and Management Documents. The graphic on the front of the disk shoes a TPBAR assembly. Front of disk states: To use training from this disk run StartCLWR.pps. To Install training to hard disk run install.bat. This disk appears to be associated with the U.S. Department of Energy Tritium Program. Among the management files are: CMPLAN Configuration Management Plan May 99 Record of Decision MC&A Requirements PEP Rev 1 Final QA Program Records Management System Description & Requirements Transportation Documents and NA-125.1 Mission and Function. The Savannah River Site SRS has been tasked by the Department of Energy DOE to process irradiated tritium producing burnable absorber rods TPBARs from a Commercial Light Water Reactor CLWR. The CLWR TPBAR concept is being developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory PNNL. The TPBAR assemblies will be irradiated in a Commercial Utility light water nuclear reactor and transported to the SRS for tritium extraction and processing. The Commercial Light Water Reactor approach was selected over a competing approach the accelerator production of Tritium. The DOE is responsible for supplying nuclear materials for national security needs and ensuring that the nuclear weapons stockpile remains safe and reliable. Tritium a radioactive isotope of hydrogen is an essential component of every weapon in the current and projected U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. Unlike other nuclear materials used in nuclear weapons tritium decays at a rate of 5.5 percent per year. Accordingly as long as the Nation relies on a nuclear deterrent the tritium in each nuclear weapon must be replenished periodically. In March 1999 DOE/NNSA published the Final EIS for Production of Tritium in a Commercial Light Water Reactor which addressed the proposed interagency agreement with TVA to produce tritium at TVA reactors using tritium-producing burnable absorber rods TPBARs. In May 1999 DOE published the ROD for the 1999 EIS identifying its decision to implement the agreement for tritium production at the Watts Bar Unit 1 reactor Watts Bar 1 in Rhea County Tennessee and Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 reactors Sequoyah 1 and 2 in Hamilton County Tennessee. Under the proposal TVA would irradiate up to 3400 TPBARs per reactor per fuel cycle which lasts about 18 months. The agreement was needed by DOE/NNSA because at the time the U.S. nuclear weapons complex did not have the capability to produce the amounts of tritium that were needed to support the Nation's current and future nuclear weapons stockpile. Following the environmental review an agreement with DOE/NNSA was approved by the TVA Board of Directors in late 1999 and in May 2000 TVA issued a ROD and adopted the DOE/NNSA's EIS 65 FR 26259. In 2000 TVA entered into an interagency agreement with DOE/NNSA under The Economy Act to provide irradiation services for producing tritium in TVA light water reactors through November 2035.
