The plant was permanently shut down on October 1, 1991. The DECON decommissioning plan was approved in February 1995 and the plant is undergoing dismantlement. The steam generators were shipped to the Barnwell, North Carolina low level waste facility in November 1993. The reactor vessel was shipped in April 1997 to Barnwell. The owner has removed all of the primary systems, secondary side components, and switch yard equipment from the site. The plant is about 80 percent dismantled. The containment and other major structures remain. The owner has completed construction of an onsite independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). A license termination plan (LTP) was submitted in May 1997, and a public meeting was held to discuss the LTP in January 1998. A public hearing was requested on the LTP but was canceled after the owner withdrew the plan in May 1999 to consider the MARSSIM approach. The licensee intends to resubmit the LTP in 2003. The owner has completed transferring fuel from the spent fuel pool into transportable dry storage systems at an on-site interim storage facility.
