TMI-2 core examination plan

Creators

Description

The Three Mile Island (TMI-2) core examination is divided into four stages: (a) before removing the head, (b) before removing the plenum, (c) during defueling, and (d) offsite examinations. Core examinations recommended during the first three stages are primarily devoted to documenting the post-accident condition of the core. The detailed analysis of core damage structures will be performed during offsite examinations at government and commercial hot cell facilities. The primary objectives of these examinations are to enhance the understanding of the degraded core accident sequence, to develop the technical bases for reactor regulations, and to improve LWR design and operation
