HighlightsNorthStar was selected to D&D the University of Illinois’ 1950’s era Mark IITraining, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) reactor and nuclearreactor laboratory. NorthStar dismantled, removed, and packaged the reactor,systems, and structures and decontaminated and removed radiologicallycontaminated surfaces, components, and debris with unrestricted site releasein accordance with 10 CFR 20. This included the removal and packaging of the60R/hr. rotary specimen rack and other irradiated hardware from the reactorcore area into a Type A cask.

Built in 1959, the research reactor was placed in “safe storage” mode in 1998,when its 30-year operating license expired. The 1.5 megawatt reactor was usedfor research, student instruction, and service to the industry. It produced noelectricity, but was used in a wide variety of research applications. The NRCterminated the University’s reactor license in January 2013, followingNorthStar’s demolition of the facility and FSS.

Working within the regulatory framework of the Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), contaminantswere removed inside the facility and included neutron-activated aluminum,steel, concrete, and fission products and laboratory radiological nuclides usedin various experiments.

HighlightsIn March 2011, NorthStar was contracted by the University of Arizona todecontaminate and decommission (D&D) the University’s Training, Research,Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) reactor and in its nuclear reactor laboratory.NorthStar dismantled the reactor and its ancillary support systems, removingall radioactive materials from the NRL, and reducing the radioactivity to levelsthat permitted release of the licensed area for unrestricted use and Licensetermination. Activities were completed in accordance with 10 CFR 20.

Many of the reactor components and systems were either activated orcontaminated and were segregated from non-radiological components, so thatthey could be disposed of as low level radioactive waste (LLRW). NorthStar’swaste minimization emphasis resulted in a reduction to the overall volume ofwaste. Highlights of the project included:

• D&D of unique reactor systems and configurations.

• Packaging of radiological contaminated debris for disposal at off-sitelicensed facilities.

• Final Status Survey activities to support unrestricted release of theUniversity’s Nuclear Reactor Laboratory.

HighlightsThe dismantlement of Consolidated Edison’s five-block steam and electricitypower plant in midtown Manhattan was phased over a five-year period,tackling numerous challenges related to a densely urban and compactconstruction site.

SURGICAL DEMOLITION The five-block Kips Bay, multi-building campus wassqueezed between FDR Drive, First Avenue, and the Queens-Midtown Tunnelvents, with the tunnel running under the property. NorthStar demolished the11-story office building and support structures first. The switch house andfrequency house both had an arched roof like a gymnasium, so it was carefullyremoved to reduce the potential for the walls to become unstable.

The next phase was the most challenging. Three 300-foot steel stacks,reinforced with gunite, towered over the two 17-story power plants. Thesestructures were dismantled by hand in a very controlled manner until the coremachinery was visible. The exterior walls of the power plants rose flush to thesidewalk boundary requiring hand demolition on these exposed walls toprotect pedestrians, traffic and contiguous property. High-reach equipmentwas used on the demolition of the lower level power plants

HighlightsPG&E’s Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP) was repowered to more efficientlymeet California’s growing power needs. As part of this effort, NorthStar abatedand demolished shuttered major components of the plant to make room fornew facilities, including a 2.7 million gallon liquid fuel oil tank, 4,200-linear-footfuel oil pipeline, and series of structures, facilities, and underground utilities.

The 143-acre nuclear power plant site was built in the 1950s and operatedfrom 1963-1976 until concerns about newly discovered seismic faultscombined with more stringent nuclear requirements following the Three MileIsland accident rendered the small plant unprofitable. In 1988, the nuclearplant went into SAFESTOR status, except for two original fossil-fuel-poweredsteam-turbine generators, which continued to produce power.

The underground utilities posed a unique set of challenges. Record drawings ofthe subsurface conduit locations and the changes that had taken place over thelast 50 years could not be located. As a result, the subsurface demolition hadto be meticulously executed. Also, pre-project engineering evaluations andprocedures included field “hold points” to identify and verify if utilities were‘live’ so work crews would be safe and avoid disruption to plant operations.

HighlightsNorthStar was contacted by TECO to dismantle a hung boiler weighingapproximately 3,000 tons at their Gannon Generating Station in Tampa,Florida. There was no dropping of material allowed due to an operating turbinewithin close proximity. All steel was lowered to the ground by crane. The scoperequired the boiler and support equipment to be dismantled in 3 phases.

Phase I – Dismantle the Boiler without disturbing the main structure. Thisphase was conducted by using pneumatic winches (Air Tugers) to lower thesteam piping, water wall frame and water walls. After the water walls werelowered to the ground, the boiler roof and floor were opened and a 300-toncrawler crane completed the boiler dismantlement.

Phase 2 – Dismantle the Coal Hoppers from the roof of the Turbine Buildingwhile it was still operating. Working over the 150’ tall boiler structure, the 300-ton crane was used to lift out sections of the Coal Hoppers allowing fordismantlement of the steam drum remaining boiler support structure.

Phase 3 – Using the 300-ton crawler crane, remove the Steam Drum and upper50’ of the boiler structure.

HighlightsThis project included the demolition of four concrete and brick smoke stacks,250-ft high, in two phases. The first phase included the demolition of Units 3and 4. The demolition of stacks 1 and 2 commenced in Feb. 2009.

A unique feature of this project was the location of the smoke stacks. Thestacks were located in the close proximity to an active unit and surroundingstructures. Due to the location constrains, NorthStar demolished the structuresutilizing manual labor. The project required a 250-ft scaffolding tower to beconstructed for each stack for manual demolition. NorthStar successfullyprotected the adjacent active structures and operating plant systems. Duringall removal operations, NorthStar coordinated all activities to preventdisruption of plant operations.

NorthStar recycled over 98% of the project volumetric rate during Phase 1, and92% of the project materials were recycled on site.
