OSTI ID:182158
After 35 years operation, the Tsing Hua Argonaut Reactor (THAR) is decommissioned by the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) under the Atomic Energy Council`s (AEC) regulation. THAR is a water moderated and graphite reflected research reactor with peak thermal power 10 kW. Since this decommission project is the first one experienced in Taiwan rather complete planning work by NTHU and step by step regulative activities by AEC are performed regardless the structural simplicity of the THAR. Numerous information is gathered through the task which believe to be able to act as valuable experience in preparing future decommissioning needs. The major work in the THAR decommissioning project is finished within two months. The total man-hour devoted to the THAR decommissioning work is 3693 and accumulated dose received during the work is 0.14 mSv.
