Transferring shoreham`s nuclear fuel

Journal Article · · Nuclear News
OSTI ID:460409
The transport of irradiated fuel from the decommissioned Shoreham nuclear power plant in New York to the Limerick reactor in Pennsylvania is described. Emphasis is placed on public relations efforts of both power companies to win the acceptance of citizen groups and local and state officials. Political opposition was avoided by including officials in the planning process before details were presented to the media and the general public. More than 20 shipments of irradiated fuel were made by a truck-barge-rail system.
