Abstract
Decommissioning of nuclear power plants (NPP) presents a significant business opportunity with high market potential, particularly in Europe. Projects are largescale and costly, requiring companies to have specialized knowledge in the nuclear industry but also conventional demolition expertise.
This final report summarizes the achievements of the dECOmm project, which VTT launched to establish a Finnish ecosystem capable of providing competitive services to the international decommissioning market. The project started at the end of 2019 and concluded in June 2023. The dECOmm project was one of the first co-innovation projects funded by Business Finland, The project has proven the efficacy of an ecosystem approach in fostering innovation, societal impact, and both domestic and international networking.
Dissemination of project results and demos took place in Open Business Day events, DigiDECOM conferences in Norway and Finland, several other international conferences, field trips and the final seminar. Network ng and dissemination activities were integrated with nuclear energy ecosystems EcoSMR, ECO-Fusion and FINUELS.
Project members were VTT (research partner), BMH Technology, Ekonia, Fortum, Lotus Demolition, Platom, Sweco and TVO. Additionally, FinNuclear Association was a close collaboration partner.
