Representatives from 18 countries met in Denmark on 22 to 24 May to exchange experience on the management of radioactive waste.
The initial cleaning has removed 85 percent of the radioactivity in the Hot Cell plant. Watch a video about how the team last removed hotspots in one of the cells.
For many years, a large stack of corroded drums has been the first sight to greet visitors on a tour of the low-level operational waste storage facility.
The annual report on what DD to maintain a good work environment and the results we achieve has just been published.
The Danish Decommissioning Annual Report 2018 has now been approved and signed by the Danish Agency for Institutions and Educational Support.
Around the innermost tank of Danish Reactor 3 has sat a graphite reference that shot back the neutrons. The reflector and an associated layer of lead are now gone. This completes the remotely operated cutting of the internal parts of the reactor.
One of the DD 's task is to provide a better overview of the radioactive waste that was stored on Risø prior to our creation in 2003. With the emptying of the so-called Old Grube, we have made a good step forward.
The Folketing's decision of May 2018 on a long-term solution for radioactive waste means that the waste will remain on Risø until at least 2073.
The objectives and results plan for what DD should achieve in the current year has been approved by the Board for Institutions and Educational Support.
