Planning for safe decommissioning of research reactors in Egypt

摘要

Egypt operates two Research Reactors: ETRR-1: Tank type, 2 MW power, 10% enrichmentEK-10 fuel, and commissioned in 1960 and ETRR-2: Open pool type, 22 MW power, 20% enrichment plate typefuel and commissioned in 1997. A proposed decommissioning plan for each reactor will be presented. Theestablished decommissioning plan includes facility characterization, procedures and radiological protectionaspects. The safety assessment during the decommissioning identifies the actions that are necessary to ensurecontinuous safety during all phases of decommissioning. Protective measures should provide the necessarydefense in depth.
