Key driver of <strong>reactor</strong> <strong>dism<strong>an</strong>tling</strong><br />

‣ Nuclear safety / technology are the key drivers!<br />

in operation<br />

Really?<br />

after shutdown<br />

Cooling 20.000 kg/s a few kg/s<br />

Reaction time in case of events max. few hours 2 – 5 days<br />

<br />

Only fuel unloading <strong>an</strong>d a Full System Decontamination (FSD) reduces the<br />

activity inventory of a light water <strong>reactor</strong> by the factor 100 Million<br />

‣ So what are the key drivers?<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Operational safety (safety at work, radiation <strong>an</strong>d environmental protection,<br />

org<strong>an</strong>isation on site, …) in a dynamic safety case<br />

Social tr<strong>an</strong>sition of people <strong>an</strong>d regions<br />

Efficiency (costs) – personnel, installations, waste<br />

One of the major challenges of a decommissioning project<br />

Tr<strong>an</strong>sitioning staff from <strong>an</strong> Operation to a Dism<strong>an</strong>tling mind <strong>an</strong>d competences set<br />

Re-deploying staff<br />

Maintain skills, motivation <strong>an</strong>d excellence throughout the project<br />

Our strategy <strong>an</strong>d the lessons we learned<br />

Put Hum<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Org<strong>an</strong>ization Factors concerns, very high in the project priorities<br />

Implement <strong>an</strong> extensive <strong>an</strong>d “rewarding” training program<br />

to qualify <strong>an</strong>d certify operators (to become dism<strong>an</strong>tlers) including coaching<br />

Such as the “plutonium school” at Cadarache<br />

Re-allocate <strong>for</strong>mer staff to other projects / programs within the comp<strong>an</strong>y<br />

Implement a new “Project” spirit <strong>an</strong>d org<strong>an</strong>ization<br />

Incentivize on safety, quality <strong>an</strong>d per<strong>for</strong>m<strong>an</strong>ce<br />

An example at Cadarache MOX pl<strong>an</strong>t<br />

Successful staff reduction by a factor of ~10<br />

Summary<br />

D&D projects are driven by costs, to implement <strong>an</strong> optimization process<br />

from the very beginning is key<br />

<strong>Optimized</strong> strategy <strong>an</strong>d sequencing of the <strong>dism<strong>an</strong>tling</strong> (hot to cold) will<br />

provide serious economical savings<br />

Larger <strong>dism<strong>an</strong>tling</strong> packages will reduce interfaces <strong>an</strong>d ease the coordination<br />

ef<strong>for</strong>ts on site<br />

Early usage of mobile systems will ease the large-scale release <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>dism<strong>an</strong>tling</strong><br />

Social tr<strong>an</strong>sition has to be addressed with priority <strong>an</strong>d to be pl<strong>an</strong>ned at <strong>an</strong><br />

early phase in the D&D pl<strong>an</strong>ning<br />

Concept, Pl<strong>an</strong>ning & Project M<strong>an</strong>agement will influence the success of the<br />

project much more th<strong>an</strong> the used technique<br />

The AREVA-Competence Centre <strong>for</strong> Dism<strong>an</strong>tling provides a solid base<br />

<strong>for</strong> the successful execution of your decommissioning project.<br />
