EU-DECOM: European Commission and Decommissioning of Nuclear Installations
EU-DECOM is the European website on Decommissioning of Nuclear Installations, developped by SCK•CEN. It contains a lot of information about decommissioning in general, about policies and programmes and about specific projects in Europe.
SCK•CEN is currently occupied with the decommissioning of Belgian Reactor 3. BR3 was a prototype of the pressurized water reactors (PWR's). It was selected as a European pilot project for:
The optimization of dismantling and decontamination techniques and processes
The realistic assessment of costs
Developing techniques for minimization of secondary waste and minimization of radiation doses to the personnel
