Intact decommissioning is a new alternative method for decommissioning nuclear power plants. It has potential advantages over the much studied mothballing, entombment, and immediate dismantlement options. Ebasco Services, under contract to the National Environmental Studies Project of the Atomic Industrial Forum, investigated the feasibility and radiological consequences of intact decommissioning for reference pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) plants. Northeast Utilities' Millstone 1 plant, typical of a number of Mark-I containment designs, was the reference BWR. Its reactor produces 2011 MW(t), for a net power of 660 MW(e). Portland General Electric's Trojan Nuclear Plant was the reference PWR. Its reactor produces 3500 MW(t) for a net power of 1175 MW(e).
