Implementation of site-release criteria at Shippingport

Criteria for the unconditional release of the site and materials left thereon following decommissioning of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station (SAPS) site were issued by the US Department of Energy (DOE) in January 1987. The criteria were 100 mrem/year vial the worst-case scenario and as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Subsequently, General Electric Nuclear Energy, the decommissioning operations contractor (DOC), generated a final consolidated implementation plan. This document defined the scenarios by which the final dose would be calculated, the limiting conditions for the as-decommissioned site, and the methodology for demonstrating the achievement of these conditions. The plan is being used concurrently with the decommissioning operations to demonstrate that the site will meet the criteria issued
