Synergist Article Examines the Challenges of Decommissioning a Nuclear Power Plant
An article in the June/July issue of The Synergist examines the EHS challenges surrounding the decommissioning of the Zion Nuclear Station following 25 years of service.
The Zion Nuclear Station in Zion, Ill., was shut down in 1998, and the decommissioning process started in 2010 under the guidance of ZionSolutions. The reactor featured two, pressurized water reactors that each produced 1,085 megawatts electrical, making the Zion Nuclear Station the largest nuclear power plant to be decommissioned, according to Tulley, who is the manager of industrial safety and hygiene for the project.
