Shoreham decommissioning: Project summary and lessons learned
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:230636
As the first large commercial nuclear power facility to be decommissioned in the U.S., Shoreham has served as a {open_quotes}test case{close_quotes} for emerging NRC policy and regulations on decommissioning. Consequently, the level of regulatory oversight has been greater at Shoreham than for previous decommissioning efforts. The project was also strongly affected by changes in the availability of radioactive waste burial space. Decommissioning large commercial nuclear power plants is an important economic issue and safety concern for electric utilities. The report includes information regarding activities performed by the LIPA, LILCO, NYPA, and many vendor organizations who supplied equipment, supplies, and services to the project. Since the information has not been readily available elsewhere, it should have special interest to power plant operators.
