21 Dec Performance Contract 2012-2013
What are DD's objectives for the next two years?
What's happening at Danish Decommissioning?
16 May Transparency and knowledge about nuclear waste
DD opens its doors to the media in response to a request for greater insight into the topic, which follows the publication of preliminary studies for a final repository for radioactive waste.
15 May Experts Evaluate Final Decommissioning of DR 3
In June, DD's expert panel will review the project description for the decommissioning of reactor DR 3. Subsequently, approval will be sought from the regulatory authorities, and a parliamentary document will be prepared for the Parliament's Finance Committee.
04 May Preliminary studies for final repository completed
Conclusions and recommendations from the preliminary studies have been published on the Ministry of Interior and Health's website. Among other findings, 22 suitable areas are identified, and 6 are recommended for the repository's location. This comprehensive material has now been handed over to an inter-ministerial working group, which will continue work on the establishment and siting of the final repository. A press briefing will be held at DD on Thursday, May 5th, at 10 AM, where attendees can pose detailed technical questions to DD, SIS, and GEUS, and selected facilities will be showcased.
26 Apr In brief: preliminary studies for a Danish final repository
The preliminary studies for a Danish final repository will be published on Wednesday, May 4th. Download a summary of the most important background information here.
14 Apr Annual Report 2010
The annual report contains an account of DD's activities in 2010 and reports on the results achieved in relation to the performance contract.
Dec 20 Our objectives for 2011
Danish Decommissioning has three primary focus areas in its annual plan for 2011: the continued decommissioning of the Hot Cell facility, the DR 3 project, and preliminary studies for a final repository.
13 Dec Milestone 2010: Clearing of the First Deck
The dismantling of the "horizontal silicon" physics setup on research reactor DR 3 marked the achievement of one of the year's significant milestones. The first deck has now been entirely cleared of pipes, wiring, and experimental installations.
12 Dec "Hot Spots" Removed from Hot Cells
"Hot Spots" refer to small, highly radioactive items that were inadvertently dropped onto surfaces during operational periods. Their removal is crucial for reducing the overall radiation levels in the waste generated from the subsequent sandblasting of the concrete cells.
06 Jul A Summer Update on the Projects
This year's three primary projects encompass the sandblasting of the Hot Cell facility's six concrete cells, the dismantling of DR 3's peripheral systems, the planning for the decommissioning of the reactor block, and preliminary studies for a final repository for low- and intermediate-level waste.
