Decommissioning of Gundremmingen Unit A
Abstract
Several nuclear power plants of the first generation in the world have finished their nuclear life and retired into the status of decommissioning. In 1980 this significant milestone was also settled for the nuclear power station KRB A. The reasons for this decision are of general interest and will be explained. The experiences of dismantling, disassembling, decontamination and surveying measurement resulting from the treatment of 3800 tons materials released out of the controlled area is described. The recycling of carbon steel for the production of waste containers made of cast iron is an important technique to reduce waste volume and has been performed with 1500 tons of steel scrap. Finally an outlook towards the intended decommissioning steps in the reactor building is given.
