National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Project. Technical Progress Report, January 26, 1976--July 25, 1976.

WAPDMRP146

Publication Date	1976
Page Count	16
Abstract	The Shippingport Atomic Power Station has remained shutdown since February 4, 1974, for repair of the main unit turbine and for modifications for installation and operation of the third nuclear core, the Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) core. The LWBR core barrel was installed in the PWR reactor vessel on June 26, 1976, after assembly, final cleaning and inspection. Modification effort has begun on the upgrading of the Shippingport Reactor Safety systems. This upgrading includes an Auxiliary Control Room, a containment isolation system and additions to the Safety Injection System. Repairs to the turbine generator are 90 percent complete. Maintenance work performed during the report period includes completion of the replacement of the 1A and 1D heat exchangers (steam generators). (ERA citation 02:029504)
