The Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project is a Department of Energy (DOE) project to dismantle the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. One of the more challenging technical aspects of the Project, which is being managed for DOE by GE Nuclear Energy, is the one-piece removal and shipment of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and its associated Neutron Shield Tank (NST) to the government owned Hanford Reservation in Richland, Washington. This paper covers this transport aspect. 13 refs., 1 fig.
