STURGIS vessel en route to Brownsville for final shipbreaking and recycling
Radiological Health Physicist Hans Honerlah, the program manager for Baltimore District’s Radiological Center of Expertise, and STURGIS decommissioning Project Manager Brenda Barber watch Tuesday morning September 25, 2018 as crews finish the rigging necessary for STURGIS to be towed from Galveston, Texas to Brownsville, Texas for her final shipbreaking and recycling. Over the past three years in Galveston, Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been implementing the challenging and complex efforts to decommission the MH-1A — the deactivated nuclear reactor that was onboard the STURGIS vessel.
