This article reports that at Shoreham decommissioning a large nuclear power plant proves to be a straightforward exercise, accomplished with existing tools and procedures. Plans to dismantle Shoreham nuclear power embraced a simple concept: applying proven technology in new or innovative ways to get the job done. Although Shoreham`s operating history was brief, the project is significant because the plant was a large commercial unit and the technologies and methods applied to dismantle it will eventually apply to the present operating fleet of nuclear plants when their service lives come to an end. So, in several respects, Shoreham became the proving ground for planning, techniques and technologies that are likely to figure prominently in the evolution of decommissioning practices over the next two decades.
