A new repair and decontamination area is being built to support operations at the demonstration fuel cycle facility for the Integral Fast Reactor program at Argonne National Laboratory's site at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Provisions are made for remote, glove wall, and contact maintenance on equipment removed from hot cells where spent fuel will be electrochemically processed and recycled to the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II. The source for the shielding design is contamination from a mix of fission and activation products present on items removed from the hot cells. The repair facility also serves as a transfer path for radioactive waste produced by processing operations. Radiation shields are designed to limit dose rates to no more than 5 microSv h-1 (0.5 mrem h-1) in normally occupied areas. Point kernel calculations with buildup factors have been used to design the shielding and to position radiation monitors within the area.
正在建造一个新的维修与去污区域，以支持位于爱达荷国家工程实验室阿贡国家实验室场地的整体快堆计划示范燃料循环设施的运行。该区域为从热室取出的设备提供远程、手套箱壁和接触式维护，在热室中乏燃料将进行电化学处理并回收到实验增殖反应堆-II。屏蔽设计的源是从热室取出的物品上存在的裂变产物和活化产物混合物产生的污染。维修设施还用作处理操作产生的放射性废物的传输通道。辐射屏蔽设计用于将正常占用区域的剂量率限制在不超过5微希沃特每小时（0.5毫雷姆每小时）。使用带有积累因子的点核计算来设计屏蔽并在该区域内定位辐射监测器。
