Book Technology  Safety and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Boiling Water Reactor Power Station

Download or read book Technology Safety and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Boiling Water Reactor Power Station written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the results of a comparison of a previous decommissioning cost study by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) and a recent decommissioning cost study of TLG Engineering, Inc., for the same commercial nuclear power reactor station. The purpose of this comparative analysis on the same plant is to determine the reasons why subsequent estimates for similar plants by others were significantly higher in cost and external occupational radiation exposure (ORE) than the PNL study. The primary purpose of the original study by PNL (NUREG/CR-0672) was to provide information on the available technology, the safety considerations, and the probable costs and ORE for the decommissioning of a large boiling water reactor (BWR) power station at the end of its operating life. This information was intended for use as background data and bases in the modification of existing regulations and in the development of new regulations pertaining to decommissioning activities. It was also intended for use by utilities in planning for the decommissioning of their nuclear power stations. The TLG study, initiated in 1987 and completed in 1989, was for the same plant, Washington Public Supply System's Unit 2 (WNP-2), that PNL used as its reference plant in its 1980 decommissioning study. Areas of agreement and disagreement are identified, and reasons for the areas of disagreement are discussed. 31 refs., 3 figs., 22 tabs.

Book Nuclear Decommissioning and Society

Download or read book Nuclear Decommissioning and Society written by Martin J. Pasqualetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990. This book argues that a better understanding of the social impact of decommissioning - in areas such as jobs, waste, economics, opinion, law, public policy, land-use and legacies - is vital to the successful application of any technical solution. The issues raised are divided into three areas which deal with those problems that have already been recognized, the questions that decommissioning itself will raise and those that may result from likely future developments. The book aims to initiate a process of appraisal by examining several of the more obvious social ties to decommissioning.

Book Costs of Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants

Download or read book Costs of Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While refurbishments for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants and for the lifetime extension of such plants have been widely pursued in recent years, the number of plants to be decommissioned is nonetheless expected to increase in future, particularly in the United States and Europe. It is thus important to understand the costs of decommissioning so as to develop coherent and cost-effective strategies, realistic cost estimates based on decommissioning plans from the outset of operations and mechanisms to ensure that future decommissioning expenses can be adequately covered. This study presents the results of an NEA review of the costs of decommissioning nuclear power plants and of overall funding practices adopted across NEA member countries. The study is based on the results of this NEA questionnaire, on actual decommissioning costs or estimates, and on plans for the establishment and management of decommissioning funds. Case studies are included to provide insight into decommissioning practices in a number of countries.

Book Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants

Download or read book Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants written by OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and published by OECD. This book was released on 2003 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, based upon data provided by 26 countries, examines the decommissioning of nuclear power plants of varying reactor types, sites and sizes. It assesses differences in decommissioning costs and the management of financial liabilities arising after nuclear power plants are shut down, and explores the effects of national policies and industrial strategies.
