Dec 21 Performance contract 2012-2013
What will DD achieve in the next two years?
What's happening in Danish Decommissioning?
May 16 Openness and knowledge of nuclear waste
DD opens the doors to the media in response to the desire for greater insight into the subject, which comes in the wake of the publication of the preliminary studies to the final storage facility for radioactive waste.
15 May Experts assess final dismantling of DR 3
DDIn June, the expert panel will comment on the project description for the decommissioning of the DR 3 reactor, after which approval will be sought from the authorities and a dossier prepared for the Finance Committee of Parliament.
04 May Preliminary studies for final depot completed
Conclusions and recommendations from the preliminary studies are published on the Ministry of Home Affairs and Health website. Among other things, 22 suitable areas are identified and recommended 6 for the location of the depot. The extensive material has now been handed over to an interministerial working group to continue to work on the establishment and location of the final depot. Press briefings are held at DD Thursday 5 May at 10 a.m., where detailed questions of a technical nature can be asked to DD , SIS and GEUS, as well as select facilities.

20 Dec What we must achieve in 2011
Danish Decommissioning has three main areas of focus in its 2011 annual plan: the continued decommissioning of the Hot Cell facility, the DR 3 project, and preliminary studies for the final repository.
Dec 13 Milestone 2010: clearing the first deck
With the dismantling of the physics exhibition "horizontal silicon" on research reactor DR 3, one of the important milestones of the year was achieved. The first deck is now completely cleared of pipes, wires and experimental set-ups.
12 Dec "Hot spots" removed from Hot Cells
"Hot Spots" are small highly radioactive objects dropped on tables and floors during operation. They are removed to reduce the overall radiation level in the waste that will result from the sandblasting of the concrete cells.
06 Jul A summer status of the projects
The three main projects this year are the sandblasting of the six concrete cells of the Hot Cell plant, the dismantling of the DR 3 peripheral systems and the planning of the decommissioning of the reactor block, as well as preliminary studies for the final repository for low and intermediate level waste.
