Decommissioning Project


completed
Dismantling of the turbine and implementation of a Materials Management Facility

During the plant operating period, in the turbine building were located the turboalternator complex and the components of the thermal cycle (capacitor, preheater, etc.) for the production of electric energy.

completed
Decommissioning of Residual Heat Removal System

The Residual Heat Removal System served as a “heat sink” for the removal of residual heat in the reactor core when the activity was halted for maintenance works or re-fuelling.

completed
Demolition of the off-gas building

The Residual Heat Removal System served as a “heat sink” for the removal of residual heat in the reactor core when the activity was halted for maintenance works or re-fuelling.

completed
Asbestos reclamation in Emergency Diesel Generators

Emergency Diesel Generators are devices created to supply the nuclear power plant of electric power in case of interruptions in the general power supply;

completed
Primary Circuit Decontamination

The primary circuit of the reactor building is the recirculation and depuration system of the cooling water.

completed
Waste Route Implementation

The “Waste Route” is a structure connecting the turbine building, the reactor building and the auxiliary building, which is now under development.

ongoing
Upgrading of temporary buffer turbine building and Waste Treatment Station (STR)

The project envisaged the construction of four temporary storage areas for radioactive waste ("buffer areas"), to allow for emptying any existing temporary storage facilities to bring them up to the latest safety standards

ongoing
Upgrading of temporary storage facilities

The project requires the upgrading of the current three temporary storage facilities for radioactive waste present at the Caorso plant, to bring them up to the new safety standards ....

ongoing
Resins and sludges treatment

The project involved the preparation, transport, treatment and conditioning at the Bohunice (Slovakia) plant of approximately 5,900 220-litre drums containing resins and radioactive sludge produced during the plant's operation. .....

ongoing
Dismantling the reactor building

Most of the radioactivity in the nuclear power plant's systems and components is concentrated in the reactor building. The latter, in fact, made it possible to produce energy from nuclear sources during operation....

ongoing
Dismantling of auxiliary buildings

The auxiliary building is one of the main complexes of Caorso nuclear power plant, and it consists of reactor buildings and turbine buildings.
