Hotline About Hotline The hotline allows the decommissioning and dismantlement community to post problems in a specific decommissioning and dismantlement (D&D) area and get solutions from the subject matter specialists. Users can also search for previously published problems and their solutions.	Technology About Technology Technology provides information on decommissioning and dismantlement related technologies including robotics and any associated demonstrations. It provides technology descriptions, benefits, limitations, and associated links and documents. It also provides vendor information, technology and demonstration fact sheet reports, and search capabilities.	Web Crawler About Web Crawler The custom decommissioning and dismantlement web crawler searches and retrieve information from decommissioning and dismantlement related websites. The crawler provides the user with a listing of best-matching web pages, usually with a short summary containing the document's title or parts of the text.	Tech Talks Tech Talks Florida International University (FIU) is conducting a series of D&D Tech Talks focusing on several D&D topics relevant to the DOE EM Complex.
Lessons Learned About Lessons Learned Lessons learned provides a repository of documents published by the decommissioning and dismantlement community users. This allows them to share their experience with the community.	Best Practices About Best Practices Best practices provides a repository of decommissioning and dismantlement best practices documents that the user community can upload to the system.	Picture Video Library About Picture & Video Library The video/picture library allows community users to upload decommissioning and dismantlement technology and demonstration videos and pictures to the decommissioning and dismantlement KM-IT system. The videos and pictures could then be viewed by the decommissioning and dismantlement community.	Document Library About Document Library Weekly reports published by the ALARA center include the status of the decommissioning and dismantlement activities that have taken place at various centers. It includes the list of ALARA center activities for consecutive weeks. This feature makes the reports available to the entire decommissioning and dismantlement user community.
Specialist Directory About Specialist Directory The specialist directory provides a directory of decommissioning and dismantlement experts in different areas along with their contact information. The user can search the specialist directory by name or by area of interest.	Vendors About Vendors Vendor management provides a directory of decommissioning and dismantlement vendors along with their contact information.	D&D Research D&D Research D&D Research for DOE EM highlights the recent, current, and ongoing research being performed by and for DOE EM as well as international D&D research to support the high priority D&D needs to bring the remaining cleanup projects to completion in support of site closure. This research includes activities at and through collaborations with academic universities, national laboratories, DOE contractor facilities, and other organizations.	Training About Training The training component provides training videos related to decommissioning and dismantlement work, ALARA Centers’ training material and custom training for the decommissioning and dismantlement community.

Sampling and Analysis Plans

If environmental samples are to be collected during a removal action, DOE must develop a sampling and analysis plan that provides a process for obtaining data of sufficient quality and quantity to satisfy data needs.

Sanitary Waste

Waste, such as garbage, that is generated by normal housekeeping activities and is not hazardous or radioactive. The waste is disposed of in sanitary landfills. Sanitary waste also includes liquids which are treated in sewage treatment plants.

Site

A geographic entity comprising leased or owned land, buildings, or other structures required to perform program activities.

Site Inspection

The collection of information from a CERCLA (Superfund) site to determine the extent and severity of hazards posed by the site. It follows a preliminary assessment and is more extensive.

Solid Waste

Non-liquid, non-soluble material ranging from municipal garbage to industrial waste that contains complex, and sometimes hazardous, substances. Solid waste also includes sewage sludge, agricultural refuse, demolition wastes, and residues.

Solid Waste Management Unit

Any discernible unit at which solid wastes have been placed at any time, irrespective of whether the unit was intended for the management of solid or hazardous wastes. Such units include any area at a facility where solid wastes have been routinely and systematically released.

Source Material

Uranium or thorium, other than special nuclear material or ores which contain by weight 0.05 percent or more of uranium or thorium, or any combination of these.

Special Nuclear Material

Plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other material which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2071 of title 42 U.

Surveillance and Maintenance

These activities are conducted through-out the facility life cycle phase including when a facility is not operating and is not expected to operate again and continues until phased out during decommissioning. Activities include providing in a cost effective manner periodic inspections and maintenance of structures, systems and equipment necessary for the satisfactory containment of contamination and protection of workers, the public and the environment.

Saw

A cutting tool having a thin, flat metal blade, band, or stiff plate with continuous cutting teeth along the edge. It is used mainly for cutting metals, wood or other hard materials. Usually saws have cutting blades with teeth, but some saws have an abrasive diamond disk or steel cable-like blades; such saws are used to cut materials like stone and glass.
