“…Historically, unit costs have been developed as an average of the costs seen over the range of conditions of interest (e.g., Kisieleski et al, 1994). However, the results for the six case studies in Exhibit 5 generally show a wide range of unit costs for each structure category.…”

A series of relationships have been developed for estimating unit costs for decontamination and dismantlement (D&D] of a number of structure types. These relationships may be applied in the absence of other data to obtain rough order-of-magnitude cost estimates for DCD activities. The relationships were developed using DCD costs estimated for various types of buildings at the U S . Department of Energy Femald site. These unit costs take into account the level of radiological contamination as well as the building size and t g e . BACKGROUNDHistorically, a variety of methods have been applied to determine the cost of D&D, ranging from a "bottom-up" approach that relies on detailed structure-specific information (such as the type of construction, level and type of contamination, structure size, and material quantities) to estimation of D&D costs as a percentage of the original capital cost of the structure. The technique used for preparing D&D cost estimates will vary with (1) the project's degree of definition; (2) the availability of databases containing information about the dimensions of a given structure (e.g., height, width,
