Decommissioning of Barseb?ck NPP

摘要

Barseb?ck is a nuclear power plant located in southern Sweden on the west coast of Sk?ne.Barseb?ck 1 and 2 are two BWRs with the capacity of 615 Mwe each and have produced electricity since1975/1977. According to a political decision Barseb?ck 1 was closed permanently on 30 November 1999 andBarseb?ck 2 on 31 May 2005. Barseb?ck 1 has been in the so-called Service operation since 12 December 2001,when all fuel had been transported away. Barseb?ck 2 is now in the so-called position of Defuelled core, waitingfor an environmental license including a approved Environmental Impact Assessment. A strategic position hasbeen taken concerning the future dismantling of Barseb?ck 1 and Barseb?ck 2: Service operation must be simple,safe and cost-optimised. This means placing the plant in the lowest energy mode, reducing the need formonitoring, minimising residual safety risks and optimising the costs of service operation and futuredismantling. Dismantling of Barseb?ck 1 and Barseb?ck 2 will probably be carried out under a joint project.Final storage for the short-lived low- and medium-active dismantling waste, SFR-3, must be ready beforedismantling begins. According to the present plan, SFR-3 will not be ready for service until 2020 at the earliest.Intermediate storage must be avoided. This leads to the present planning, which means that dismantling ofBarseb?ck will not start before 2020.
