Strategy of DOE Involvement at Shelter

• Objective
• To assist in international effort to convert
  Chornobyl Shelter and destroyed reactor Unit 4
  into a stable, environmentally safe, manageable
  system
• Basis for U.S. assistance
• December 1995 Ukraine/G7 memorandum of
  understanding
• Approach
• Provide urgent operational safety improvements
• Support international program
• Avoid conflicts and duplication

February 1997 Status - Equipment Needs Project

• Provide urgent operational safety improvement to
  upgrade shelter worker safety
• Nuclear (criticality) safety
• Dust suppression
• Industrial safety
• Equipment needs prioritized, specification
  preparation and purchasing initiated

  final report - November 1996
• Approved by G7/Government of Ukraine
• Established project framework
• Lacked sufficient logic, cost, and schedule
  definition

1997 Progress Report - Unit 3/4 Ventilation Stack
Repair

• Issue Damaged in 1986 accident
• Urgent and necessary action
• G7 and Ukraine support bilateral repair
  project
• Status Ukraine, Canada, U.S. establish 2.25M
  project
• (4.5M Ukraine, 0.8M Canada, 1.0M U.S.)
• Schedule Awaiting final design, project plan
  deliverables
• Materials and equipment purchasing
  February-March 1998
• Repairs April to May 1998 (subject to weather)

13
1997 Progress Report - Shelter Activity

• Shelter Implementation Plan
• Draft completed March 31, 1997
• G7 and government of Ukraine approved May 1997
• Plan retains access to fuel-containing material
  (FCM)
• Develops removal strategies and technologies
• Does not include FCM removal
• Sufficient to support international pledging
• European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
  (EBRD) selected as funds administrator

14
1997 Progress Report - Shelter Activity

• Denver Summit, June 1997G7 pledges 300M U.S. to
  Shelter funds
• Ukraine pledges 50M, July 1997
• International Donors Conference, New York,
  November 199737M U.S. additional pledges
  (other country donations)
• G7/EBRD conclude sufficient commitment to
  initiate project

15
SIP Opportunity

• The SIP is a logic-based program based on
  Shelter information, analyses, and assessments
  available to date. It features
• Early Biddable Projects (EBPs) to develop the
  bases for optimizing and finalizing design
  decisions
• Also define and initiate balance of required
  infrastructure improvements
• 10 programmatic milestones (3 key) to integrate
  and drive final decisions
• Long-term tasks to achieve safe confinement
  compatible with FCM removal strategy/decisions
• Total estimated cost 760M

Criteria for Selection and Specification of Early
Biddable Projects

• Urgent to risk management
• Essential to improve levels of knowledge and
  engineering to support decision making
• Critical path
• Readily implementable
• Created construction infrastructure

Shelter Activities - The Path Forward

• Early Biddable Projects will initiate mid CY98
• PMU and EPO subcontracting opportunities
• Construction phase projects will initiate mid
  CY99
• More subcontracting opportunities
