Decommissioning refers to the administrative and technical actions taken to allow the removal of some of all of the regulatory controls from a facility. The permanent shutdown and decommissioning of Kori Unit 1, the Korea’s first nuclear power plant, has been finalized to draw high public interest in decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Even before 20 years, KEPCO E&C has also prepared mid to long-term technological development strategy to decommission nuclear power plants.
First of all, KEPCO E&C has participated in decommissioning of ‘TRIGA MARK Ⅱ & Ⅲ’ and 'Uranium Conversion Facility' to complete accumulating the real experience and data related to decommissioning engineering, radiation analysis, management of radioactive waste, decontamination and dismanting technologies. Based on this, we are developing core technology in preparation for nuclear power plant decommissioning market, and proceeding technology transfer project, which includes training nuclear power plant decommissioning experts, and transferring decommissioning information technology with PreussenElektra(Ex. EON Technology), and Westinghouse (U.S.A).
