An SM-1A team member wearing a purified air breathing respirator prepares to enter the vapor containment structure around the reactor at the former nuclear power plant for the first time since 2011 on January 29, 2024. As an example of what future industrial hygiene will look like at the site, the team observed the atmospheric conditions in the structure and the surrounding workspace using five-gas monitors (oxygen, carbon monoxide, VOCs, explosive gases, and hydrogen sulfide) and Draeger tubes. The Radiological Health Physics Regional Center of Expertise (RCX), based at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, provides radiation safety and technical support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies at home and abroad and began the decommissioning and dismantlement of the the former SM-1A Nuclear Power Plant on Fort Greely, Alaska, in 2024.
