November 4, 2004i Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
I Demonstration Project Built by Allis Chalmers Dairyland purchased plant in 1973 for $1.00 Operated from 1967-1987 (approx. 10 full-power years) 1
Unique Features Size
- 50 Mwe - smallest commercial plant
- 60' diameter Containment Building
- many constraints In available space
- Extremely small site Fuel
- Stainless Steel Clad
- Shrouds (channels) are separate from fuel Others Reactor Building crane capacity - only 50 tons

. SAFSTOR decision made based on:
Decommissioning Funding Inadequate for Immediate decommissioning
- At that time, there was no fuel disposal option Reduced staff to 27 people
. Limited dismantlement
- Soon to go over 1 million lbs.
Private Fuel Storage (PFS)
