C-1) VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY FOR RADIATION VISUALISATION DURING
THE REMEDIATION AT ANDREEVA BAY IN RUSSIA AS SUPPORT TO
OPERATIONAL AND REGULATORY SUPERVISION (wP-59400)
Niels-Kristian Mark, Institute for Energy Technology,
Malgorzata Sneve, Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (Norway)
The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authorities (NRPA) has since 1996 carried out a program of regulatory support projects,
funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NMFA) The objective of the program has been to support the Russian civilian
and military regulators, the Federal Medical Biological Authorities of Russia (FMBA) and the Federal Environmental, Industrial
and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia, as well as the corresponding nuclear and radiation safety authority within the Russian
Ministry of Defense with development and implementation of methods and tools for better regulatory supervision of the Andreeva
Bay and Gremikha Sites of Temporary Storage (STS) for Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and Radioactive Waste (RW).
In 2005-2009 regulatory investigations were completed at the Andreeva Bay and Gremikha within the collaborative NRPA-
FMBA program. The radiation and radio-ecological situation was assessed, and criteria and regulations of the STS remediation
were developed, as well as the guidance for their application for three possible options of environmental remediation (conservation,
conversion and liquidation). As part of the project the Federal Medical-Biological Centre, a technical support organisation to
FMBA, developed the DOSEMAP and DATAMAP applications for the FMBA, supporting radiation risk monitoring, worker radiation
exposure control and deeper understanding of the evolution of…
C-2) TAKING RISK ASESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL (wP-59395)

A multi-level (facility and programmatic) risk assessment was conducted for the facilities in the Nevada National Security Site
(NNSS) Readiness in Technical Base and Facilities (RTBF) Program and results were included in a new Risk Management Plan
(RMP), which was incorporated into the fiscal year (FY) 2010 Integrated Plans. Risks, risk events, probability, consequence(s),
and mitigation strategies were identified and captured, for most scope areas (i.e., risk categories) during the facilitated risk workshops.
Risk mitigations (i.e., efforts in addition to existing controls) were identified during the facilitated risk workshops when the
risk event was identified. Risk mitigation strategies fell into two broad categories: threats or opportunities. Improvement projects
were identified and linked to specific risks they mitigate, making the connection of risk reduction through investments for the annual
Site Execution Plan.
Due to the amount of that was collected, analysis to be performed, and reports to be generated, a Risk Assessment/ Management
Tool (RAMtool) database was developed to analyze the risks in real-time, at multiple levels, which reinforced the site-level
risk management process and procedures. The RAMtool database was developed and designed to assist in the capturing and analysis
of the key elements of risk: probability, consequence, and impact. The…
C-3) RADIOACTIVE WASTE, FROM MYTH TO REALITY: THE STAKES FOR
ANDRA’S EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION EFFORTS (w/oP-59287)
Annabelle Comte, Andra (France)
Andra is responsible for proposing and implementing industrial management solutions for France’s radioactive waste. Andra’s
goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to make up his or her own mind on a subject that generates such heated debate
within our society. This duty of communication is enshrined in law and is an integral part of Andra’s activities, in the same way as
research, industry and risk management.
Because the subject of radioactive waste is a complex one and concerns such a variety of audiences, Andra adapts its communication
policy so that it is accessible to all, according to individual needs and levels of interest.
For the “non-specialists” (general public, young people, etc.) Andra proposes a system built around education and awarenessraising.
Its aim is to make the subject of radioactive waste accessible to and comprehensible to as many as possible.
Its educational communication approach is built on 3 pillars: first and foremost information, the keystone of any system of
communication, then explanation and finally sharing with the legitimate stakeholders in this pedagogical approach.
Providing dependable information Andra offers information that is appropriate to the level of knowledge of its audiences and
uses all communication media, from the most…
SESSION 40— D&D MANAGEMENT APPROACHES AND PLANNING TOOLS (3.6)
1) IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARDISED LISTING INTO DECOMMISSIONING
COSTING; EXAMPLES AND RELATED IAEA PROJECTS (wP-59313)
Vladimír Daniska, DECOM, a.s.; Michele Laraia, Paul Dinner, Patrick O’Sullivan, IAEA (Slovikia/Austria)
In 1999, IAEA, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the European Commission jointly proposed a standardised listing of
activities to serve as a common basis for decommissioning cost estimates and thus promote greater harmonisation. This standardised
structure, which is based on activities at three hierarchical levels, is currently being updated based on the experience gained
over ten years of use. This paper comprises two main parts: in the first part, the revised standardised list of activities is presented,
together with guidance on its use in decommissioning costing. The three-level hierarchical structure has been retained though with
several detailed changes to ensure comprehensiveness and avoid ambiguity.
