Decommissioning and Dismantling of the 100-F Reactor

The Department of Energy (DOE) is presently considering methods of dismantling and disposing of their Hanover Power Station in Richland, Washington. GAO has reviewed the disposition plans for dealing with the highly contaminated nuclear sites. The project involves the decontamination and dismantling of the shutdown reactor and its related facilities. The site will eventually be returned to public use.
