The regulatory framework fordecommissioning as well as decommissioning licensing process in Romania are briefly described. The mainregulations on decommissioning issued by regulatory authority either in force or in planning are presented. Thepaper describes the content of the technical documentation for getting the decommissioning license, andcontentand format of the decommissioning plan to be prepared and submitted by operator. The decommissioninglicenses issued until now as well as a description of decommissioning activities in Romania are presented. As anexample the decommissioning activities at MultiZonal Research Reactor located on Pitesti site are presented.The paper described, also, the major problems met during the regulatory review of the 6 editions ofdecommissioning plan for the WWR-S research reactor and the progress made in the implementation ofdecommissioning activities. The WWR-S research reactor located on Magurele site is now in permanent shutdown state under the preservation and clean up license.
