EPRI tailored collaboration 3 Calvert Cliffs cost and volume reduction program
- Baltimore Gas & Electric, Lusby, MD (United States)
Baltimore Gas & Electric`s (BGE) Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) is a two unit PWR located approximately 60 miles south of Baltimore, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Both units are of Combustion Engineering design, Unit 1 began commercial operation is 1975 and Unit 2 in 1978. BGE contracted with EPRI to participate in the industry initiative to reduce low-level waste volumes with the expectation to: (1) Reduce O&M costs through LLRW reduction by lowering the volume requiring processing, transportation, and storage/disposal. (2) Manage responsibility available resources; i.e., material, equipment, personnel, etc., through segregation. decontamination, recycling and worker awareness. (3) Improve Calvert Cliff`s positive image in the community by minimizing the impact on the environment through generating less LLRW. Baltimore Gas & Electric is committed to effective management of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Established Nuclear Program Policies and Procedures support CCNPP`s commitment to minimizing generation of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). Since the mid 1980`s, CCNPP has made progress in reducing the volume of LLRW generated and disposed. EPRI`s onsite assessment and subsequent assistance pointed out several areas for improvement.
