Rancho Seco

The plant was shut down in June 1989. The SAFSTOR decommissioning plan was approved in March 1995. The owner has revised its decommissioning plan to use an incremental dismantlement approach. Currently, the owner is dismantling the secondary side of the plant. Wastes generated during decommissioning will be shipped to Envirocare. In July 1999 the owner decided to continue dismantlement activities with the goal of completing the decommissioning by 2008. On October 4, 1991, the owner submitted a site-specific Part 72 independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) application using the VECTRA NUHOMS-MP187 dual purpose cask design. The license was granted on June 30, 2000. The owner has loaded all of the spent fuel from the pool into transportable dry storage systems at an on-site interim storage facility.
