Although the nuclear power plant reactors were shut down more than 15 years ago, radioactive waste continues to be generated and will continue to be generated until decommissioning of the plant is completed.
We estimate that the total amount of equipment to be dismantled and related materials is about 180,000 tons, of which nearly 90% is contaminated with radionuclides. A large part of the generated waste is decontaminated and returned to the market as secondary raw materials (the target is to decontaminate and return 75% of the plant’s equipment materials). However, the remaining part must be packaged and placed in special repositories. We ensure that all radioactive waste is managed as safely, responsibly, and efficiently as possible.
