Barge and rail transport of slightly irradiated fuel in the United States. A case study

Description
On September 25, 1993, the first of 33 inter modal barge/rail shipments of slightly used nuclear fuel departed the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station on Long Island New York, and arrived without event on September 28, 1993, at the Limerick Generating Station in Montgomery County Pennsylvania. The 'team approach' from the outset of this major project was the key to overcoming the obstacles in commencing one of the last major milestones in the decommissioning of Shoreham. This paper documents some of the major phases of the fuel removal process, and the obstacles that were overcome up to January 1994. The Shoreham to Limerick Fuel Transfer Project is planned for completion in mid-1994. 6 figs
