SURVEY OF DECOMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS FOR VVER REACTORS

Objective

The present study should establish a sound basis to judge future R&D needs for the decommissioning of East European nuclear facilities.

Emphasis should therefore be put on VVER reactors due to large numbers of reactors of this type in Germany and several Eastern European countries, and the recognition that lack of certain safety features leads to the requirement to decommission the older type VVER 440 V 230 as soon as possible. Four of these reactors have already been closed down in Germany.

Work Programme

1. Review of East-European nuclear facilities and selection of reference plant (IND).

2. Technical description of reference plant (EWN, IND).

3. Decommissioning of reference plant (Strategy, decontamination, dismantling procedures) (EWN, IND).

4. Comparison with West European experience (Strategy, decontamination, dismantling, spent fuel cycle) (IND, EWN).

5. Identification of R&D requirements (EWN, IND).
