Objective
Work has been done and is still going on in a Task Group on Decommissioning Costs of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency/Co-operative Programme for the Exchange of Scientific and Technical Information Concerning Nuclear Installation Decommissioning Projects (OECD/NEA), to identify the reasons for the large variations in reported cost estimates from decommissioning projects.
Similarly, work is going on in a Working Group on Decommissioning Costs of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to develop a technical document on cost of radioactive waste management and decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
Also in the European Community's 1994-1998 Nuclear Fission Safety Programme, work is going on to set up a database on decommissioning costs of nuclear installations, EC-DB-COST.
The aim of the proposal is to set up a specific project to have the three organisations (the EC, the IAEA, and the OECD/NEA) adopting a similar (standardised) list of decommissioning cost items, including cost item definitions. The three organisations could then further use this standardised list for their own objectives and scope of work. However, any further work by all organisations would be greatly aided if the same cost evaluation structure were used by all organisations, and could be defined internationally as a reference. At the same time, any comparison of future results or conclusions of individual evaluation work of different groups would more likely to be consistent in stead of being contradictory.
Carrying out this common initiative will require identification, definition, harmonisation and verification of general and detailed decommissioning activities and relating cost items to be included in a standardised and uniform list of cost items for decommissioning projects. The entire proposal would require:
* appropriate representatives of the EC, IAEA and OECD/NEA to list and discuss detailed overviews of individual cost data bases, to get familiar with existing cost structures or detailed cost evaluations;
* to integrate the individual exercises in one overall system; tasks will have to be distributed to obtain the final overall structure and to draft definitions of defined cost items;
* to draft definitions, and to prepare a draft library, incorporating the defined cost structure and cost item definitions;
* to discuss and to review the draft library;
* to prepare a report of the work carried out, a description of the final cost structure, and an overview of the definitions of the defined cost items, resulting in one single, uniform and agreed reference list of decommissioning cost items, including cost item definitions;
* to discuss and to review the report, and to make a detailed verification and control of individual cost item definitions in each group to avoid overlappin in cost item definitions; ù to submit the report to EC, OECD/NEA and IAEA for approval and for subsequent publication (example given to EC).

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
