Over the past month, Danish Decommissioning has been gradually reopening after we, as a government enterprise, had everything but emergency and critical functions shut down since 9 December.
For just over a year, a large project organisation has been working on plans for a new, upgraded storage facility for the radioactive waste on Risø. The effort has now resulted in a detailed project proposal.
After almost five months of closure of DD, some radioactive waste has been piled up around the country. Therefore, from 4 May we will again receive waste.
Read the statement on the stakes and results DD has reached in a year that was strongly characterized by corona closures and restrictions.
The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science has approved our 2020 annual report, which was marked by corona closures.
A number of European countries, which can see the potential of common waste solutions and knowledge sharing, have now formalised cooperation in the newly formed ERDO association.
Two days before shutting down the company, a milestone was reached in the decommissioning of Danish Reactor 3: the first concrete blocks have been sawn out of the top of the reactor and placed in containers.
As a state-owned enterprise, we will shut down everything but emergency services and critical functions from Wednesday 9 December. This is due to the situation with the Corona/Covid-19 virus.
