Trojan Reactor Makes
Successful Voyage to
Burial Site
fter years o f careful planning, Port
land G eneral Electric (PG E) has sue
cess fully transported nuclear reactor
vessel to the U.S. Ecology low-level
disposal site near Richland, Wash. The steel
vessel measuring 17 feet in diameter and42 feet
in length and weighing two million pounds as
packaged for transport began its journey aboard
a specially designed barge from PG E 's Trojan
Nuclear Plant in Rainier, Ore., on Friday, Au
gust 6, at 9:20p.m . and arrived at its final resting
place near midnight on Sunday, August 8.
“All aspects o f the shipment went very
smoothly and according to plan," said Steve
Nicholas, project manager. “We evaluate sev
eral options for decommissioning the reactor
vessel and determined that shipping it in one
piece by barge was the
safest approach for em
ployees, the public and
th e
e n v iro n m e n t.
“W e ’re very pleased
with the result” Nichols
added that P G E 's suc
cessful shipment offour
steam generators and a
pressurizer in 1995 us
ing the same method
gave them additional
confidence.
The reactor vessel
package, classified as
ClassC low-level waste,
was prepared by filing
it with 200 tons o f low-
density cellular concrete
an d w e ld in g ste el
shields around the sides.
The transporter c ar-
ried the vessel from the
p la n t to th e T ro jan
barge slip onto the 240-
foot long, 55-foot wide
A
barge capable o f m aking ocean-going voy
ages. Escorted by the U.S. Coast G uard and
m onitored by Trojan personnel, the barge
was pushed up the Colum bia River by two
waste
tugboats (one served as a backup) 270 miles
to the Port o f Benton, near Richland, Wash
From there, the entire package was m oved by
truck 20 miles to the U.S. Ecology disposal
site for inspection by the W ashington De
partm ent o f Health and is now being pre
pared for burial. The reactor was placed in a
45-foot deep trench Tuesday, Aug. 10, and
w ill be covered with earth on Aug. 19.
“There was several factors that played a
role in determ ining when w e could actually
send the reactor on its w ay," N icholas ex
plained. “W e had to m ake sure that river
conditions, w eather and other river traffic
schedules met our criteria for m aking a safe
shipm ent o f the Trojan reactor. W ith a little
cooperation from the w eather and the exper
tise o f our Trojan staff, the reactor was safely
delivered as planned."
Now that the reactor vessel is decom m is
sioned, PGE will continue other decommis
sioning projects as the plant through the end o f
2002 with the same high standards o f safety
and en v iro n m en tal stew ardship. T hose
projects include moving spent fuel to an above
ground dry storage facility, equipment re
moval, em bedded pipe surface decontamina
tion, and final site radiological survey. PGE
has offered to donate the non-industrial areas
o f the Trojan site as an Oregon State Park.
