Although a number of plants worldwide have been placed into safe storage after permanent shutdown, there is no generic guidance for establishment of safe storage conditions. To address this need, EPRI is conducting a project to document the best practices to reduce risk, maintenance and monitoring requirements during safe storage, as well as practices that optimize decommissioning following the safe storage period. This project additionally evaluates potential options for establishment of safe storage conditions, such as performance of chemical decontamination, completion of environmental remediation activities, early removal of highly activated components, dismantlement of non-power block structures and partial site release in advance of completion of decommissioning of the nuclear island.
