N.S. Savannah Document Library
Introduction
The N. S. Savannah Document Library is provided so that members of the public may have ready access to contemporary Maritime Administration documents related to the Savannah. These include our current Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license and license-basis documents; significant submittals to the NRC including recent annual reports; documents that describe the radiological conditions on the ship; and public presentation materials. Future additions to the library will include documents representing significant elements of the ship’s history.
Most of the documents found in this library collection have been rendered into a Portable Document Format (*.pdf). In some cases the document or collection of documents may be available as a download in *.ZIP format. If you have any problems downloading the documents in this library, please contact us at savannah@dot.gov.

N.S. Savannah Characterization Survey Report and Related Documents
The N. S. Savannah Characterization Project was conducted from March 20, 2005 to April 25, 2005. It was a survey designed to provide the Maritime Administration with an updated profile of radiological and environmental contaminants on the ship. Most of the sampling was concentrated in the ship’s Radiologically Controlled Areas, with some other sampling performed in public areas and other non-Radiologically Controlled Areas. The information obtained from this project enabled the agency to develop appropriate decommissioning strategies and to estimate their associated costs. A follow-on project was conducted to obtain metallurgical samples from the Neutron Shield Tank, Reactor Pressure Vessel wall, and internal thermal shields for the purpose of the classifying the RPV for disposal purposes. The report of that project can be found here.
The characterization effort was implemented in accordance with a preestablished Characterization Plan that included project-specific procedures encompassing radiological aspects of the project.
