On Wednesday, the “ Danish Decommissioning ” opened its doors to about 90 visitors for this year’s open house event.
Lisbeth Bech-Nielsen, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, visited Danish Decommissioning.
Are you curious to see the historic nuclear facilities at Risø, and at the same time learn more about how we store and manage Denmark’s radioactive waste, as well as what it entails to decommission the facilities at Risø?
Since operations commenced in 1957, when the first of the three reactors at Risø was started, monitoring of the area on and around the peninsula has been in place.
The Annual Report for 2025 is now publicly available, providing details on the year's financial and professional results.
Danish Decommissioning sorts more waste than most. By 2025, Danish Decommissioning will have released 33 tonnes of material for conventional waste management, while 1.3 tonnes have been classified as radioactive waste and stored at Risø. This sorting represents a significant contribution to limiting the quantities of waste that will ultimately require disposal in a final repository.
As part of Research Day 2026, Danish Decommissioning opens its doors to students and teachers from upper secondary schools and 9th grade classes.
An increased focus on the new upgraded storage facility, a specific goal for the dismantling of DR3's reactor block, and several other objectives form the backbone of Danish Decommissioning's (DD) Goals and Results Plan for 2026.
Danish Decommissioning is changing its organisation to enhance progress on priority tasks.
More than 70 people visited Danish Decommissioning on Thursday, August 21, when the Open House 2025 was hosted.
