Throughout this web site you will find information that describes our site clean up procedure, regulatory benchmarks, and the public input and communications process. This site also provides links to the Site Closure Project Plan. Look for this document as well as other detailed information in our Resource Center.

Site Closure at Yankee Rowe

Site clean up and related procedures
will be guided by four principles:


Safe and thorough cleanup
Secure stewardship of spent fuel
Full public participation
Beneficial site reuse

Goals for the Site Closure Project are to:

Substantially complete the majority of decommissioning and physical site closure activities at the site by the end of 2006.
Achieve radiological and non-radiological site closure in a safe, responsible, reliable and beneficial manner.
Integrate stakeholder requirements and interests into the project planning and implementation process.
Restore the site to environmental quality standards that will enable future unrestricted use of the majority of the site, where feasible.
Safely manage the spent nuclear fuel on site until such time that the Department of Energy satisfies its legal obligation to remove the fuel.

Site closure is the final phase of the decommissioning process at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station. It includes completing physical decommissioning, conducting a thorough environmental investigation of the site, completing remediation activities, and eventually transferring the property.

The site closure project is proceeding at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station. The process is expected to be substantially complete by 2007.
