Flydende atomkraftværft skrottet

Verdens første flydende atomkraftværk, amerikanske Sturgis, er nu skrottet. Det tog U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mere end tre år, først at fjerne reaktoren, dernæst alle de dele der havde været i berøring med radioaktivt materiale, store mængder bly - og til sidste selve skroget.

Sturgis blev oprindelig bygget som et Liberty Ship i 1940’erne - the SS Charles H. Cugle. Efter at have gjort tjeneste i 2. verdenskrig blev det ombygget til verdens første flydende atomkraftværk i 1960’erne.

Skibet rummede en enkelt reaktor af typen MH-1A, og blev primært brugt til at levere strøm til militære og civile installationer i Panama Kanal området.

Sturgis blev taget ud af tjeneste i 1976, og henlå derefter mange år i the James River Reserve Fleet i Joint Base Langley Eustis, Virginia.

I 2015 blev Stugis bugseret til Galveston i Texas hvor de radioaktive dele blev fjernet.
