Decommissioning of nuclear facilities in Central European countries
The European Commission, DG XI, has published two invitations to tender concerning existing and future requirements for decommissioning nuclear facilities in Central European countries. The two separate studies concern Hungary, Poland and Slovenia, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The objective of these studies is to establish the technical conditions and requirements for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The results obtained should be useful in helping to prepare future assistance projects. This action is in line with the Council Resolution of 18 June 1992 on the technological problems of nuclear safety. The studies should aim at establishing the technical conditions and requirements for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. A part of each study is the rough estimation of waste quantities produced by dismantling, some criteria to distinguish between waste easily suitable for clearance after decontamination, waste suitable for on-surface disposal and waste requiring deep geological disposal are necessary. The studies must be completed within 12 months. Studies must be conducted in close cooperation with the Commission services (DG XI C/3) and must take into account the relevant development of other studies relating to the areas under consideration. In addition. Involvement of local organizations and experts in the implementation of the different studies is a prerequisite.
