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...

Ce rapport de synthèse sur le Financement du démantèlement : éthique, mise en œuvre, incertitudes a été rédigé en s’appuyant sur la littérature récente et sur les informations présentées lors des réu...

Any long-term radioactive waste management project is likely to last decades to centuries. It requires a physical site and will impact in a variety of ways on the surrounding community over that whol...

Tout projet de gestion de déchets radioactifs à long terme durera vraisemblablement des décennies, voire des siècles. Il nécessitera un site et influera de bien de manières sur la communauté environn...

This status report on Decommissioning Funding: Ethics, Implementation, Uncertainties is based on a review of recent literature and materials presented at NEA meetings in 2003 and 2004, and particular...

Ce rapport de synthèse sur la façon de Choisir des stratégies de démantèlement des installations nucléaires repose sur les points de vue et les informations présentés au cours d’un séminaire organisé...

This status report on Selecting Strategies for the Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities is based on the viewpoints and materials presented at a seminar held in Tarragona, Spain on 1-4 September 2003...

La libération des sites d’installations nucléaires des contrôles radiologiques est généralement l’une des dernières étapes du déclassement. À ce jour, seul un petit nombre de projets en ont fait l’ob...

Releasing the site of a nuclear installation from radiological control is usually one of the last steps of decommissioning. To date, site release has been practised in a limited number of cases only ...

The release of radioactive materials from regulatory control is subject to release limits which are often based on published recommendations of international organisations, which aim to minimise radi...
