Abstract

The objective of this report is to consolidate many of the experiences and lessons during the TMI-2 cleanup that had been recorded in numerous reports and papers. The experiences in this report focus on long-term plant stabilization, cleanup, and defueling. These expeiences were based on an extensive review of a wide range of reports, presentations, and interviews with personnel formally from the key organizations involved in the cleanup.

Supplement 2 complements Supplement 1. The previous supplement provided summary descriptions of programs, activities, systems, and tools that were involved in the decade-long cleanup campaign of the damaged reactor core and severely contaminated equipment and buildings. In addition, the DVDs accompanying Supplement 1 contain most of the references cited in Supplement 2.
