Decommissioning of nuclear power facilities

The competence "Decommissioning of nuclear power facilities" represents the competitive work of groups engaged in the development of a concept and program for decommissioning, development of solutions for the use of technologies for dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive waste management, technical and economic justification of proposed solutions, and calculation of the synergistic effect of the proposed decommissioning project.

Skills developed by the competence

The competence develops the contestants ' professional skills in various areas: construction calculations, technologies, radiation safety, economics.

In addition to specialized professional skills, the competence develops teamwork, public speaking, and presentation skills.


Content of the competence


Team work

Competence Team

Work on the competence "Decommissioning of nuclear power facilities" is a team activity.
The contest task is performed by the team and the score is given to the team.

Team composition

Expert team
  1. Expert Mentor (2)
List of participants
  1. Civil Engineer
  2. Production Engineer
  3. Dosimetric Engineer
  4. Economist

Completing and evaluating a task

Team members complete a technical task

24 hours
=
  • Day 1C6.5 hours.
  • Day 1C, 2C8 hours each.
  • Day 3C1.5 hours.

Evaluation of results by experts begins in the second half of C3 and ends in C4.
Experts are trained in assessment methods.


Competitive task

Structure of the competition task

Module 1

Object description, construction drawings, diagrams, etc.

Module 2

Description of the location of equipment, engineering communications, and the presence of temporary storage facilities for radioactive waste and its contents.

Module 3

Cartograms (protocols) of contamination of the facility's surfaces, equipment, and premises (radionuclide composition, levels of contamination with radioactive substances, specific activity of RW and RW, dose rates outside the facility, by premises, and from equipment).

Module 4

The main indicators for calculating economic efficiency are the main processing operations for RW management and dismantling operations during decommissioning, tariffs for RW management and disposal.

Introduction to the contest task

The contest task is classified and cannot be disclosed before the start of the championship. Participants are introduced to the contest task before starting the task on day C-1. Experts are introduced to the contest task on day C2

Since the contest task is a secret one, the Participants ' familiarization with it begins immediately before the start of its execution, and 30 minutes are allocated for this purpose.
