Abstract:
The overall goal of the NorDec project has been to explore challenges related to how decommissioning regulation is applied, and how projects are planned and performed in the Nordic countries, as well as collect best practices and share experiences between the Nordic stakeholders and the international community of experts. The contributions for this project came from a wide range of international stakeholders, including regulators, operators and contractors, and via the use of questionnaires, interviews, workshop presentations (including questions and answers during and/or after the presentations), and break-out group discussions.
This second phase of the project mainly focused on organization of a large scale workshop with the project participants and international experts to discuss the outcomes of the first (2017) phase of this project as well as challenges, innovation opportunities and experience in general related to nuclear decommissioning. The workshop has been co-organized with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Nuclear Energy Agency (NAE) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). In addition, the workshop has also been supported by the Norwegian Research Council.
This report combines all the outcome material from the workshop. Additional material and information is available at www.ife.no/digidecom2018
