Offsite Contamination in Plum Brook-From Discovery and Characterization to Demonstration of Regulatory Compliance

摘要

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Plum Brook Reactor Facility (PBRF) con-sists of two U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-licensed reactors, a 60-MW test reactor, and a 100-kW pool-type mockup reactor. The PBRF site, comprising 10.9 hectares (27 acres), is located in the northern section of the 2630-hectare (6500-acre) NASA Glenn Research Center Plum Brook Station (PBS) in Sandusky, Ohio, approximately 83 km (50 miles) west of Cleveland.
