The NEA is organising a workshop on initial estimation of back-end costs for small modular reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV technologies.

This topic has gained significant at...

Accurate cost estimates for decommissioning nuclear facilities are crucial for countries with nuclear installations. Since the 1980s, many countries have faced significant cost and schedule overruns ...

Large quantities of materials arising from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are non-radioactive per se. An additional significant share of materials is of very low-level or low-level radioac...

The NEA meetings provided a platform to review recent developments, set future priorities and foster collaboration.

国家内部和国家之间核设施退役成本估算的格式、内容和实践存在很大差异。这些差异自有其正当理由，但也会使审查估算值的过程变得复杂，估算值本身也难以论证。因此经济合作与发展组织核能署、国际原子能机构和欧盟委员会联合倡议列出退役成本的标准清单，可以直接用于成本估算或将估算值转换为标准的通用结构便于比较。本报告结合迄今为止积累的经验，更新了早期1999年公布的条目。修订后的成本分项结构旨在体现退役项目计划...

Small modular reactor (SMR) technologies are gaining interest as countries seek to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining energy security. For these new technologies to be deployed in a timely man...

The "Back-End Week" convened members to discuss decommissioning and waste management activities.

This handbook makes international guidance on estimating decommissioning costs more accessible by compiling material from two key reports: the International Structure for Decommissioning Costing (ISD...
