DOE-STD-1166-2003

Positive versus negative system pressure

Differential pressure across filters

Differential pressure across components.

Describe the general sequence for removing an HVAC system for D&D of a

contaminated glovebox. Discuss methods for minimizing 1) the threat of release of

contamination, and 2) potential health and safety impacts.

8. D&D personnel shall demonstrate a familiarity level knowledge of process

instrumentation principles of operation, purpose and uses.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Discuss the purpose and provide an example of how each of the following may be used

during D&D activities: tank sight glass, thermometer, pressure gauge, overflow alarm,

overfill alarm, flow rate instruments, and differential pressure gauge.

Discuss the importance of not disregarding indicators and alarms.

9. D&D personnel shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of the basic principles

and concepts of building demolition and identify potential sources of physical

hazards.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Describe the common D&D methods and any material specific concerns for structures

that have the following types of construction:

Brick and mortar

Poured concrete and pre-stressed concrete

Asbestos containing materials including panels, flooring, ceilings and roofing

Layered (built up roofing)

Wood framed

Metal/metal framed.

Describe common D&D methods for demolition of:

chimneys/stacks

underground structures such as footers, pilings, bunkers, tunnels, multi-story

basements.

Discuss the effects of the following types of radiation on the structural integrity of

metals:

Alpha

Beta

Gamma

Explain why understanding and evaluating corrosion is important during the planning

and execution of a D&D project.

Conduct a walkthrough of a work site to identify physical hazards.
