Synthesis Report
The European Commission (EC) organised on 23rd January 2018 a roundtable discussion on nuclear decommissioning, in follow-up of previous similar successful meetings held in 2012 and 2014. The focus was given on “Supporting European Expertise in Nuclear Decommissioning". The roundtable was chaired by Vladimir Šucha, Director General of the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC) and Gerassimos Thomas, EC Deputy Director General for Energy. It was organised jointly with FORATOM, the Brussels-based trade association for the nuclear energy industry in Europe and the European Nuclear Society (ENS), the association of nuclear professionals in Europe.
The aim of the roundtable was to assess the potential of joint EU actions to address two main areas in decommissioning: (1) technological challenges, including standardisation and (2) human competences, including education and training. In this perspective of stimulating joint European initiatives, the roundtable brought together the industry, research organisations as well as European and international actors, including the International Atomic Energy Agency, to share their experiences in these fields.
The present report provides a synthesis of the highlights from the discussions at the roundtable.
