Abstract
Technical plans of decommissioning are summarised in the final decommissioning plan and the final safety analysis report for decommissioning, which VTT completed in 2022. These are based on de-tailed dismantling and waste management planning in co-operation with VTT’s main contractor Fortum (see [1]). Equally important is the fact that the preparation for decommissioning involved also com-plete revision of the management system of the reactor: Organization, quality management practices in particular concerning subcontracting, and site arrangements including radiation protection, site and information security, emergency preparedness and nuclear safeguards.
FiR 1 has been a key nuclear energy training and research facility for almost two generations. Now it serves as a pilot facility also in decommissioning, being a forerunner in using virtual visits in the planning, detailed activity inventory characterization, radioactive waste management between licen-sees, and development of free release of materials, including methods to estimate difficult-to-measure nuclides (see also [2]). Lessons learned can be applied to the preparations for the decom-missioning of nuclear power reactors (see also [3]).
