Decommissioning Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant Lithuania 1st Project RBMK Reactors Progress May 2016

May 20, 2016 - Lithuania’s Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant is being decommissioned, the world’s first such project involving RBMK reactors. Home page: http://www.iae.lt/en/ As part of the country’s accession talks with the European Union, Lithuania agreed to the early shutdown of the two reactors, which were closed in 2004 and 2009, respectively. The European Commission has provided significant financial assistance to Ignalina NPP decommissioning, complemented by Lithuanian national co-financing. IAEA Mission Says Lithuania Committed to Nuclear and Radiation Safety Regulation, Sees Challenges Ahead - Friday 29 April 2016: https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/press... Lithuania’s Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant has two units that have been shut down, but the site is still home to spent fuel and other radioactive waste storage facilities. The country is considering constructing a reactor at a new site near Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. In addition, radioactive sources are used in medicine, research and industry. In their preliminary findings, the experts said the possible construction of a nuclear power plant, including preparations related to safety infrastructure, would require additional efforts. They noted that the regulatory authorities would have to secure the additional resources and skills required for regulatory oversight of any new facility in due time. The authorities also constantly need to update regulatory requirements in line with new international standards on radiation protection and nuclear safety, the team said. The team made recommendations and suggestions to the regulatory body and the Government to support their ongoing work to further develop the safety infrastructure. The 23-member IRRS team comprised experts from Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Slovenia, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom as well as a European Commission representative and four IAEA staff members.
