Data acquisition methods used at TMI-2 (Three Mile Island Unit 2)
Data acquisition tasks at Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) were identified to (a) provide data to aid in the planning of the recovery activities in a safe and efficient manner and characterize postaccident plan condition and (b) provide information to the scientific and industrial community. The data acquisition program was divided into the following two areas: (1) data acquisition within the reactor vessel (in-vessel data acquisition) and (2) data acquisition within the nuclear steam supply system but external to the reactor vessel (ex-vessel data acquisition). The data obtained from these characterizations have provided a basis for defueling decisions. The methods (tools, equipment, and techniques) used to acquire data at TMI-2 have provided a basis for the approaches used to defuel the various areas.
