Shippingport Atomic Power Station. Technical progress report, January 26, 1983-July 25, 1983
Description
The Shippingport Atomic Power Station ceased power operation with the Light Water Breeder Reactor core on October 1, 1982, as reported in WAPD-MRP-159. During the current report period, activity at the Station consisted of preparations for defueling, for shipment of the spent fuel to the Expended Core Facility (ECF), and for decommissioning. Defueling preparations progressed through the removal of the reactor vessel head, flooding of the reactor pit, and removal of the LWBR Core Holddown Barrel. Shipment preparations progressed to the receipt of the M-130-7 shipping container, its movement into the fuel handling building, and its removal from the railcar. Preparations at ECF for receipt and storage of the spent fuel were nearly completed and training for these operations was begun
