MR. FAZIO: Describe the most significant lessons learned from the Shipping-port project?
l.
CHAIRMAN CARR:
The most significant lessons learned from the Shippingport decommissioning project are:
one, full decommissioning of large nuclear power reactors is technically and economically feasible; two, advance planning and strong L
project management are critical to project sucu ss; three, asbestos insulation l-
- removal is a major independent work effort which should be completed prior to-L pipe and equipment removal; four, decommissioning cleanup criteria should be 1
established early, and criteria are needed for the release of materials for L
unrestricted use; five, trade-offs between decontamination, volume Nduction, l
and burial costs are necessary; and six, significant reductions in projected worker exposures.can be realized through good planning and ALARA practices.
l l-The Shippingport. decommissioning work effort took 46 months, cost $92 million, incurred 155 man-rem of worker exposure in 1,350,000 manhours, and resulted in the buria'l of 220,000 cubic feet of radioactive waste. The project was p
completed six months ahead of schedule and $6 million under budget, personnel exposures were much lower than initially projected.
