Hi Marcus,
 
The PMAG update includes the project documents presented to the EG, i.e. the Project
Managers are responsible for preparing the project documentation (such as progress reports) for
review/collation by PMAG.
 
The PO update for the chiller unit upgrade should be included in a Progress Report for that
project. I can put this item down for an update at the next EG if you like and will send Andrew a
reminder closer to the date to complete the report.
 
Kind regards,
Sarsha

Hi All,
 
Peter and I met today regarding possible controls and procedures on the s 47E - operations in
the waste store.
 
Whilst a physical column within the store is probably the easiest option and guarantees that the
area would not be occupied, it would reduce the capacity of the store for an activity that is an
occasional occurrence.
 
Our preferred procedure going forward is the following;
·         An ‘exclusion zone’ marked on the floor.  Drums would be stacked over this, and any
drums placed over this area should be appropriately marked.
·         Electronic notification in the case of  s 47E - operations  This could be either (or both);
o
s 47E - operat
   To the operator of the 
(that the store is occupied),
o   To the store as a flashing light (that the s 47E - operationsis set to vertical).
·
s 47E - operation
         Appropriate operational controls, such as notification that the 
will be used in the
s 47E - operations on a certain day.
 
I’m happy to discuss any further suggestions and the pros & cons of options above, but in the
meantime Andrew and I can discuss logistics.
 
Cheers,
 
Marcus

Project Overview: 
The ARPANSA Yallambie Facility is located at 619 Lower Plenty Road, Yallambie, Vic 3085.  It is proposed 
to create a Waste Storage Area at this site located in the rear ground floor s 47E - 
  Some minor 
construction works are required to increase the size and capacity of the proposed waste storage area.  
These works are broadly to extend the internal block wall of the s 47E - operations

Project Functionality: 
The proposed waste storage area in the s 47E - 
 will be to house 210 drums of building material 
waste.  Drums used for this storage are of the 44-gallon type drums.  These will be transported to ARPANSA 
on “Chep Type” pallets.  Each pallet wil  contain four drums.   Each drum is rated at maximum of 220 kg and 
mass of contents will not exceed this.  Of note is that whilst this is the maximum drum load and weight some 
drums may be significantly lighter than this due to contents being lighter weight (e.g. wood beams).  A 
detailed drum manifesto (via ANSTO) will be available with drum referencing contents and weights.  For the 
purposes of project design and construction, the maximum drum loading of 220 kg shall be assumed. 
s 47E - 
Released 
The waste storage area in the 
 will require removal of existing equipment, sealing of floors 
and wall penetrations and painting.  The final arrangement will include installation of air flow, appropriate 
locking, local alarms and shelving to accommodate drums.

Drum configuration inside the proposed expanded modulator room/new Waste Storage Room is for: 
  A lower level of drums on pallets to be mounted on the concrete floor. 
  A second, higher level, is proposed to be mounted on shelving directly above the lower level 
of drums.  For design purposes it should be assumed that a third level of shelving is included 
so that the drums may be arranged three-high. 
  Drum location and placement is to facilitate regular visual inspections, air circulation and 
accessibility for any future drum/pallet handling via a forklift (e.g. Crown model 25WRTL102 
or similar unit).
