This report is based on a study carried out by the NEA Decommissioning Cost Estimation Group (DCEG) on decommissioning cost elements, estimation practices and reporting requirements. Its findings ind...

Experience from decommissioning projects suggests that the decommissioning of nuclear power plants could be made easier if it received greater consideration at the design stage and during the operati...

L’expérience des projets de démantèlement de centrales nucléaires laisse entendre que l’on pourrait simplifier ces opérations si l’on y accordait davantage d’attention au moment de la conception ou p...

La notevole esperienza internazionale acquisita negli ultimi venti anni dimostra che gli impianti nucleari possono essere disattivati e smantellati (decommissioning) in sicurezza alla fine del loro e...

À l’heure actuelle, on observe une variabilité considérable dans le format, le contenu et les pratiques d’estimation des coûts, que ce soit à l’intérieur d’un même pays ou lorsque l’on franchit les f...

Currently, the format, content and practice of cost estimation vary considerably both within and between countries, which makes it very difficult to compare estimates, even for similar types of facil...

Considerable international experience gained over the last 20 years demonstrates that nuclear facilities can be safely dismantled and decommissioned once a decision is made to cease operations and pe...

En radioprotection, on entend par « libération » la décision prise par l'autorité compétente de lever tous les contrôles réglementaires appliqués jusqu'alors aux matériaux et bâtiments radioactifs. C...

The radiological concept of clearance can be defined as the release of radioactive materials or buildings from any further regulatory control applied for radiological protection purposes by the compe...

The removal of fuel from a permanently shutdown nuclear facility eliminates the major source of radiological hazard, a nuclear criticality. Combined with the cessation of operations at high temperatu...
