Abstract
During the second quarter of 1976, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station remained shutdown for PWR/LWBR (Pressurized Water Reactor/Light Water Breeder Reactor) core conversion. The PWR Core has been removed from the reactor vessel and remains in storage in the deep pit of the Fuel Handling Canal. At the beginning of the second quarter, the 1D reactor coolant loop was isolated from the reactor vessel, filled and on head tank pressure. The 1C reactor coolant loop was isolated from the reactor and drained for 1C Main Coolant Pump removal. The 1A and 1B reactor coolant loops were open to the reactor vessel. The pressurizer was open to the reactor vessel.
