A team of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and the Morrison Knudsen-Ferguson Group initiated the Decommissioning of the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station in August, 1992. The High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor consists primarily of the core components, steam generators and helium circulators housed within the Prestressed Concrete Reactor Vessel. For dismantling, the Reactor Vessel has been filled with water and access to the interior region gained through the top head. The radioactive internal components are being removed using long handled underwater tooling, loaded into shielded transfer casks for packing in shipping casks and containers. Operations have proceeded to where the decommissioning is approximately 50% complete.
