During this report period, activity at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station consisted of defueling operations, shipment of spent fuel to the Expended Core Facility (ECF), and preparations for decommissioning. The remaining eight of the 39 fuel modules were removed from the reactor. These consisted of three blanket modules, and five reflector modules. Shipment of LWBR expended fuel to ECF was completed during this period. The PWR Core 2 lower core barrel was shipped from Shippingport to its burial site on May 8, 1984. Four fuel shipments were received at ECF, unloaded and stored under water. All equipment for the disassembly of spent fuel modules has arrived at ECF and was installed and checked out. The Production Irradiated Fuel Assay Gage, for proof-of-breeding, has been installed in an ECF hot cell and qualified for use. Disassembly of the first core fuel module and removal of the first 10 fuel rods was completed. Nondestructive assay has been performed on these rods. Preparation of the plant for turnover to the decommissioning agency was completed. The plant was turned over to the decommissioning agency on September 6, 1984.
