- Description
- The Maritime Administration is conducting a survey of the availability of Contractors qualified and capable of providing the Maritime Administration with technical support and administrative oversight services relating to the advance planning for and project management of the decommissioning, dismantling (partial) and remediation of the primary nuclear reactor and its associated components aboard the nuclear steam ship N.S. Savannah. A Level of Effort type contract consisting of reimbursable type line items (CLINs) as a well as firm fixed priced line items (CLINs) is anticipated for these services. A target date for commencing the decommissioning, decontamination and radiological remediation (DDR) is October 1, 2006. The ultimate goal of the project is to free release the N.S. SAVANNAH and complete termination of its NRC license, thus rendering the N.S. Savannah, inclusive of its nuclear power plant, suitable for use as a national maritime museum. The N.S. Savannah?s nuclear plant was rated at eighty (80) megawatts and has been ?partially? decommissioned. As part of a temporary lay-up, the reactor?s fuel rods were removed in 1971. Once it was determined that the vessel would no longer be engaged in commercial operations; the reactor?s primary coolant was removed in 1975 as part of its permanent lay-up. Since that time, as required by NRC regulations, annual radiological surveys have been performed. In addition, the Maritime Administration has conducted annual material condition surveys, drydocked the vessel and performed hull gaugings. As a precursor to the decommissioning, a comprehensive characterization survey of the reactor pressure vessel, the containment space and components therein, as well as secondary spaces near or adjacent to the containment vessel, is currently being performed. .
