The nuclear criticality safety of the accident-damaged Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor has depended primarily on the use of soluble neutron poison. Detailed calculations have been performed to establish the boric acid concentrations needed for subcriticality of postulated core configurations related to recovery and defueling activities. Based on the minimum acceptable boron concentration, operating requirements were developed, safety reviews conducted, strategies and procedures implemented, and training conducted.
