Session Organizers:
Lynne Goodman (Retired)
Joe Carignan (Carignan & Associates)
This session will address what is involved in decommissioning a nuclear power plant and approaches to decommissioning, including regulatory perspectives and new innovative decommissioning models. Historically, the owner/licensee has performed or overseen decommissioning activities. In new approaches, a decommissioning entity becomes the licensee and/or owner of the plant and controls the cleanup. Costs of decommissioning will be addressed. The session will include a discussion of pros and cons of various models.
