Engineering Test Reactor Removal

The last week of September 2007 was the 50th Anniversary of the Power Engineering Test Reactor. There was also a milestone for the Idaho project cleaning, if the mortar-filled reactor vessel was pulled out of the ground, loaded onto a trailer and a radioactive and hazardous waste disposal facility. The reactor stopped operating in early 1980 and excluding fuel. The removal of the reactor pressure vessel and structures began with the use of controlled costs for the blast furnaceHigh density concrete and steel that once held the isolation of the reactor vessel pressure position. [Video of the demolition] Therefore, the building was demolished. [Video of the palace finally pull] this week, the mortar at full pressure reactor vessel of a three-storey deep hole ... [Video pull] ... was loaded onto a specialized trailer lifted and transported several miles to a disposal facility for waste ... [Video] truck ... and finally coated in a landfill, which are filled with more and spend the mortar MailThe rest of eternity. [Video of the reactor] landfill while the internal components of the reactor are still radioactive, most of its environment were radiologically clean. To transport the reactor pressure vessel, the bottom, the inaccessible during the rest of the purge had been painted to secure radioactive material that could be attacked. [Sound bites Spruill] The Engineering Test Reactor was built more than fifty years to support the early development of nuclear energy...
