Fortum's Nuclear Services has signed a multi-year framework agreement with The Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programme (NDAP), which operates under the European Commission.
Fortum’s role is to provide expert reviews and assessments related to the status and progress of European decommissioning programs funded by the EU, specifically the Ignalina (Lithuania), Kozloduy (Bulgaria), and Bohunice (Slovakia) decommissioning programs. The work will be carried out under specific assignments ordered by the European Commission within the framework agreement. The first assignments under the framework agreement are already in progress.
“This is a very important and interesting program, and we are pleased that the European Commission has chosen us for this task. We bring our extensive experience in decommissioning and waste management, combining the expertise of a service provider and a nuclear power plant owner. As a great example of our first-hand experience on execution of nuclear decommissioning projects, we recently completed dismantling of Finland’s first nuclear reactor, FiR1 research reactor,” comments Antti Ketolainen, Director, Decommissioning and Waste, Nuclear Services at Fortum.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Assistance Programme (NDAP) is an initiative by the European Union to support the safe decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The program is part of the EU’s broader efforts to ensure nuclear safety and manage radioactive waste effectively.
