DD is well advanced in the clean-up and release of the facility where Risø produced fuel for the experimental reactors. Come on a tour of the building and read about the task of removing radioactive contamination from floors, walls and drains.

They have raised the kursk nuclear submarine from the bottom of the arctic ocean and erected an overturned 80-ton crane at the Lindø shipyard after the 1999 hurricane. Now Dutch Mammoet with its muscle cranes must pull up a giant metal plug from Risø's largest research reactor.

Follow the work to break down Denmark's largest research reactor DR3 from the former Risø Research Centre. Our task is to decontaminate the former experimental area on the Risø peninsula into a "green field" - i.e. to remove radioactivity and chemicals so that the area can be used without restrictions in the future. The DR3 reactor is one of the projects.

On 15 May, DD celebrate that an internal milestone was crossed when the last rig was selected by DR 3. It was a historic day for the technical crew, who were riding the lead-lined horizontal transport bottle for the last time.
