The N.S. Savannah docked in Baltimore Harbor, MD (Paul Zeitlin/MARAD)
» MARAD executed a programmatic agreement covering the decommissioning and disposition of the N.S. Savannah , the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship and an NHL. The signatories to the agreement, which included MARAD, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Maryland SHPO, and the ACHP, sought to balance important decommissioning activities of the disposition process with preservation solutions. Ongoing consultation under the agreement will address decommissioning work, preservation of significant elements of the nuclear power plant while meeting NRC radiological criteria for license termination, and ultimate disposition of the Savannah with a tiered approach that would prioritize a preservation outcome. » In June 2022, the USACE Portland District, the ACHP, and the Oregon SHPO executed a programmatic agreement for undertakings related to the operations and maintenance of the Willamette Valley Project. The agreement more closely aligns agency actions and decisions with the expectations of Tribes, the state, partners, and the public (see Case Study on page 100).
