This paper describes the experiences gained from the participation in the Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project (SSDP), in accordance with the agreement between the United States Department of Energy (US-DOE) and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) on decommissioning nuclear facilities, which was signed in July, 1987. The purpose of the SSDP decommissioning operations is: 1) to place the station in a radiologically safe condition following defueling of the reactor; 2) to dismantle the government-owned portion of the Shippingport Station in a safe and cost effective manner using state-of-the-art technology; 3) to demonstrate to the nuclear industry the practical and affordable dismantling of a commercial large scale nuclear power plant by use of current construction/maintenance/demolition technologies; and 4) to provide timely, useful data for future decommissioning projects.
