14.01.2022 Well you don’t see this every day, a 1.5 million-pound, 16.5-foot-diameter decommissioned reactor pressure vessel passing through Ely. It is from Southern Calif...ornia Edison’s San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station According to Tony Illia, Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman, the reactor will mark the largest item to ever travel on Nevada roads when it begins the final leg of its retirement journey, heading for Utah. This record-sized move over state highways marks the culmination of over a year of planning and coordination, Illia said. It’s the heaviest load to ever traverse Nevada roadways. The vessel arrived May 28 in North Las Vegas and was staged at Apex Industrial Park. It was loaded onto a custom-made, 122-foot-long, 45-axle over-the-road trailer, which arrived on site in eight pieces and was assembled there. The load is being moved across the state using six heavy-duty Class 8 trucks with four tractors pushing and two pulling using a series of interconnecting tow bars to create a 23-foot-tall by 306.5-foot-long train that will be the same length as the Statue of Liberty laid on its side, Illia said. There will be combined 4,000-horsepower used to transport the configuration, which will weigh in at a massive 2.4 million pounds. The load will be dispersed across 460 total tires, up to 18 inches in width to prevent damage to state roads, bridges or drainage facilities, according to Illia. The truckload will be accompanied by a pair Nevada Highway Patrol trooper pilot cars, traveling at a speed of 5 to 10 mph. Emmert International, which specializes in moving large equipment, is contracted to deliver the massive object to its burial ground. The contractor will reinforce up to nine drainage culverts along the route using hydraulic jacks to prevent damage to public infrastructure, Illia said. With the speed restrictions, it’s anticipated it will take seven days to travel the approximately 450 miles to reach its destination at Energy Solutions’ Nuclear Waste Facility in Clive, Utah, about 75 miles from Salt Lake City. The reactor was transported from California to Southern Nevada via rail on a 36-axle Schnabel train car that weighed 2.2 million pounds. The canister has the least hazardous radioactive waste classification available by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at less than 0.1 millirem an hour, or 500 times below the U.S. Department of Transportation limit. A chest X-ray, by comparison, provides a dose of 10 millirem, Illia said. The reactor started generating electricity in 1968 and was pulled from service in 1992. It has been stored on the California plant enclosed in a carbon steel jacket since 2002. The 2-inch-thick carbon steel cylindrical canister has 3-inch thick top and bottom plates, and it was filled with grout, sealed and safely stored. It also has a 3-inch-thick carbon steel liner for additional radiation shielding. There was never any liquid stored inside the container, Illia said.
