With 2021 now well underway, decommissioning activities at the Oyster Creek and Pilgrim decommissioning sites continue to progress, a testament to the strong focus on safety, precision and innovation at both locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA commitment to safety and excellence underlies our decommissioning progress at both sites. When we work with safety and excellence as our number one goals, our tasks are completed efficiently and expertly,\u201d said Pam Cowan, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for 澳门六合彩开奖结果2023 Decommissioning International. \u201cThe foundational principles of our fleet management model and continuous learning are what allow us to move forward in decommissioning and achieve industry-leading results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel Moves Underway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oyster Creek\u2019s campaign to move all of its used fuel assemblies from the spent fuel pool to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) has reached its stride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, crews are moving the ninth of 33 Multi-Purpose Canisters (MPCs) to the ISFSI. With each move, the team carefully reviews the \u201cpool to pad\u201d activity, learns lessons and gleans best practices. Each of these safety measures will be incorporated into future fuel campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving fuel assemblies from the spent fuel pool into the MPC and ultimately into the HI-STORM FW Version E on the ISFSI is a very structured, deliberate process, involving a diverse team of experts who meticulously follow loading procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In brief, the team begins by prepping the MPC prior to its placement into the HI-TRAC Transfer Cask. The HI-TRAC inner shell, which contains the MPC, is lowered into the spent fuel pool, is filled with the assemblies and a lid is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
