Water Shield

  1. Description/Name: Water Shield at the 4850' level
  2. Planned use (be specific):
    1. Primary function: provide common first-level gamma and neutron shielding for screening detectors and ultra-sensitive immersion tank
    2. Temporary and permanent storage: will house screeners of various sensitivities, including alpha-beta counters, HPGe detectors, immersion tank
    3. Sample and detector handling: accommodations for alpha-beta screeners, HPGe screeners, immersion tank
    4. Jigs, fixtures, scaffolds, etc. necessary
      1. 30 ton overhead crane; smaller cranes
    5. E & O activities
  3. Occupancy:
    1. Steady: NA
