Installation of the Light-Water Breeder Reactor at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station (open access)

Installation of the Light-Water Breeder Reactor at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station

This report summarizes the refueling operations performed to install a Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) core into the existing pressurized water reactor vessel at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. Detailed descriptions of the major installation operations (e.g., primary system preconditioning, fuel installation, pressure boundary seal welding) are included as appendices to this report; these operations are of technical interest to any reactor servicing operation, whether the reactor is a breeder or a conventional light water non-breeder core.
