Description

TMI-2 core examination activities are described. These core examination tasks contribute to the understanding of important LWR safety issues, including fission product release, transport, and deposition; severe accident damage processes; hydrogen generation; and containment integrity. In addition, these tasks provide core condition data to plan certain aspects of the TMI-2 defueling. This paper reviews these recent findings and summarizes what is currently known about the condition of the TMI-2 core. Some research tasks involved in the study include: axial power shaping rod movement; closed-circuit television camera inspection; in-core instrument evaluation; leadscrew uncoupling; makeup and purification system filter debris analysis; and leadscrew analysis
