NKS-R Decommissioning Seminar 2013

NKS-R Decommissioning Seminar 2013

A Nordic seminar on decommissioning of nuclear facilities

6-7^th November in Halden, Norway

The previous NKS seminar on decommissioning was held at Studsvik in 2010. Since

then there has been high activity in the field of decommissioning nuclear facilities and an

influx of new people to the field. The new seminar provided an excellent opportunity to

meet colleagues and exchange experiences from completed and on-going decommissioning

projects as well as discuss the future.

The objectives of the seminar were:

• To survey international and national regulations, recommendations and guidelines for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
• To exchange experience in the field of nuclear decommissioning from both completed and on-going projects, as well as the latest research and development efforts.
• To identify gaps in current practice and regulation, and define key areas for future research and development.
• To gather and disseminate knowledge in decommissioning, clearance and disposal of waste from decommissioning projects.

The seminar was organized by Institutt for energiteknikk (IFE), Dansk Dekommissionering, Fortum, ndcon and Statens strålevern.
