24 May A crossroads of experience

Good advice and useful knowledge flew through the air last week when Danish Decommissioning hosted the biannual international TAG conference together with Barsebäck Kraft AB.

T The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) is a forum for state companies working to decommission nuclear facilities. Unlike private companies in the same industry that have to sell services, for state companies it is not necessary to keep the cards so close to the body. So, at TAG, you meet twice a year in a confidential space to share progress and challenges.

The 35 participants in last week's conference came flying here from Europe, Asia and North America – from a total of 14 different OECD countries. On Monday to Wednesday, the conference took place at the Scandic Palace Hotel in central Copenhagen, and then it was time to visit what it was really about – the decommissioning projects. On Thursday, the trip to Barsebäck, and at the end of a packed but fruitful week, participants on Friday were shown around the Risø Peninsula.
