Development and Operation of New Nuclear Facilities

During the dismantling of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant and its associated facilities, radioactive waste is generated, which must be properly managed. This requires the establishment of appropriate infrastructure.

Betoninės saugyklos talpyklos su apvaliais dangčiais, skirtos radioaktyviųjų atliekų saugojimui Ignalinos atominėje elektrinėje.

We are constructing and operating storage facilities, repositories, and other radioactive waste management facilities, which are also considered nuclear facilities. Most of the necessary infrastructure is already in place:

Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facilities
Solid Waste Management and Storage Facilities
Cemented Liquid Radioactive Waste Storage Facility
Near-Surface Repository for Very Low-Level Short-Lived Waste

Darbuotojai su šalmais ir apsauginiais drabužiais Ignalinos atominėje elektrinėje stebi, kaip kėlimo kranas laiko didelę oranžinę radioaktyviųjų atliekų saugojimo talpą.

Several facilities are still at the construction and planning stages:

Near-Surface Repository for Low- and Intermediate-Level Short-Lived Radioactive Waste (under construction)
Expansion of the Solid Waste Management and Storage Facilities by installing a reactor waste storage module (planned)

The Enterprise is also responsible for the installation of a Deep Geological Repository for
Long-Lived Radioactive Waste – this megaproject is in its initial development phase, and its implementation will take considerably longer than the decommissioning of the power plant.
