Decommissioning
Risks and Rewards of Decommissioning Your Nuclear Facility
Decommissioning your nuclear facility can cause various challenges and issues for your organization's stakeholders. Its impacts can include far-reaching implications for the utility, ratepayer, community, and plant owner. The lessons learned at sites undergoing decommissioning emphasize the need for planning and communications. We are here to help evaluate the completeness and reasonableness of the plan and communications.
Also, we check the accuracy of your nuclear facility's decommissioning progress and costs. We do this by conducting an independent, objective review, which requires answers to the following questions:
- Who should be involved early in the planning process?
- What type of contractual arrangement is being considered for the decommissioning work?
- Do plans adequately address all known site conditions and their potential consequences?
- Does the plan include appropriate contingencies for unintended consequential hazards?
- Who will check schedule progress and costs?
- Who will monitor project health, safety, and environmental performance?
- Are the decommissioning trust funds adequate for the decommissioning plan schedule and cost estimate?
- What periodic communications and reports will be required?
