ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) The Maritime Administration owns and maintains the Nuclear Ship Savannah (NSS), the world’s first nuclear powered merchant ship. The NSS was powered by a pressurized water reactor (PWR) that was originally operated from 1962 to 1970, after which it was deactivated, defueled and partially decontaminated in accordance with the best practices of the day. In 2002, the Agency decided to re-evaluate its circa 1975 long-range decommissioning plan. Therefore, a planning process was initiated to determine the preferred end use of the vessel as well as consideration given for the decontamination and disposal of the remaining low-level radioactive material. The Agency has proposed to prepare the NSS for decommissioning, i.e. final nuclear decontamination, and is using the NEPA process to evaluate potential impacts of the alternatives. At this stage of the planning process, MARAD will be conducting an analysis of the proposed decommissioning of the NSS. Therefore, MARAD has decided to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA), in accordance with the requirements of the NEPA, as amended (P.L. 91-190). 14. SUBJECT TERMS 15.

  • Days Numbered for Clamagore Sub at Patriots Point
    Days numbered for Clamagore sub at Patriots Point Ashley Heffernan Jan 31, 2017 The USS Clamagore submarine was decommissioned in 1975 after 30 years of service. (Photo/Ashley Heffernan) The only Guppy III submarine in the United States open for museum tours may become an artificial reef off the Florida coast. For now, the USS Clamagore, a more-than-320-foot submarine that was decommissioned in 1975 after 30 years of service during the Cold War, is rusting in Charleston Harbor at Patriots Point. The price of admission at Patriots Point includes a tour of the submarine, but Executive Director Mac Burdette estimates that only 25% of visitors do so. Instead, most visitors go to the sub’s much larger neighbors, the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier and USS Laffey destroyer. Patriots Point doesn’t have the estimated $6 million it would take to renovate and restore the Clamagore, and, if it did, the return would likely not be worth the investment, Burdette said. ―If we had $6 million sitting in an account somewhere that wasn’t obligated, I can tell you right now, I would be recommending to the board that we spend that money on the Yorktown because that’s what sells the tickets here,‖ he said. The Patriots Point Development Authority board voted last year to give Artificial Reefs International – USS Clamagore, a subsidiary of Miami-based CRB Geological and Environmental Services Inc., exclusive rights to convert the Clamagore into an artificial reef. On Jan. 10, the company secured 25% of the $4 million needed to make that happen.
