Following the final shutdown of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, our main activity is now the safe and efficient decommissioning of the plant, ensuring the complete management of the legacy of nuclear activities.
Decommissioning of nuclear facilities is an important final stage of the nuclear cycle, during which all radioactive waste generated throughout the lifetime of nuclear activities must be properly, safely and finally managed. This nuclear cycle usually lasts 100 years. This is the period from the construction and operation of the nuclear power plant to the disposal of radioactive waste generated during its operation.
When carrying out decommissioning works, we follow the Final Decommissioning Plan (FDP) – the key document describing the decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP).
The FDP defines the intended end state (“greenfield”), presents the schedule of projects (works), waste management strategy, cost forecasts, timelines, and other information essential for planning.
The FDP was first approved in 2005 and has been regularly updated since then (the latest update was in 2018, and the next one is planned for 2026–2027).
