DECOMMISSIONING PLANS AND COSTING IN GERMANY

Ulrich Löschhorn and Herbert Hollmann

The Energy Journal, 1991, vol. 12, issue 1_suppl, 173-180

Abstract: Prior to reunification, within the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany there were seven reactors of different types and at various stages of decommissioning or planning. In this chapter, Ulrich Löschhorn and Herbert Hollmann highlight several factors which influence economic costs, including timing of dismantlement, site-specific features, lack of final repository, licensing framework, and political scenarios. It is apparent from this discussion that procedures, timing, key considerations, reasoning, and ultimate goals regarding decommissioning are similar from one country to another, with most countries facing similar challenges at about the same time. Although this means that each country can learn from the others’ experience, there is also little experience to use as signposts along the way.
