The nuclear steam supply system of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station is a four-loop, 72-MW(electric) pressurized water reactor. The reactor plant and associated systems are owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. The 100-MW(electric) turbine-generator and balance of plant are owned by the Duquesne Light Company and are not part of the decommissioning scope of work. The station is located at Shippingport, Pennsylvania, on 7 acres of land leased until 1994 by DOE from DLCo. Defueling of the nuclear reactor was completed early September 1984, and the DOE portion of the station is now being decommissioned by General Electric Nuclear Energy under contract to the DOE. As of December 31, 1987, the Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project (SSDP) was {approx}70% complete and was ahead of schedule and under budget. The main objectives of the SSDP are to (1) demonstrate the safe and cost-effective dismantlement of a large-scale nuclear power plant, and (2) provide useful data for the future decommissioning of commercial nuclear power plants. Reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, pressurizer, reactor coolant pumps, and other features are discussed specifically in the paper.
