Description
Decommissioning of nuclear reactors is discussed. What to do with the damaged reactor at Three Mile Island is forcing the issue. But there are many more nuclear power plants sitting in limbo until decisions are made about how to dispose of the radioactive scrap from these reactors. The 27-year-old Shippingport reactor is the leading candidate for demolition. Plans are to start dismantling the reactor in 1985
