TMI-2 containment entry program
Description
The recovery of TMI-2 is a logistical challenge, combining decontamination, maintenance and construction activities on a scale never before experienced in the nuclear power industry. Beginning in October, 1980, with a staff of 4, the containment access group has grown into an engineering and construction organization which sucessfully integrates these activities in a high radiation environment. Detailed up front planning, adherance to numerous procedures, and the creative ability to solve problems are necessities toward meeting the schedule and cost restraints at TMI-2. Developing an efficient organization, overcoming worker psychological barriers and responsible policy development have all contributed to the success of the containment entry program
