Plans are currently being made for the removal of the mixer pump in tank 101 SY. Because the pump is contaminated with radioactive waste, it is essential that those involved in the pump removal operation have an indication of the expected dose rates when the pump is removed. Calculations were made to determine the dose rates for removing the pump, inserting the pump into a shipping container and filling the shipping container with either steel or lead shot for shielding
