Consultant: Ms Melanie Wong IAEA

Objectives of the Project:

1. The project is intended to provide a platform that can be used for“hands-on” and practical training in activities related to s afedecommissioning.

2. It should be a focal point for the exchange of information, experience,education and training on regulatory requirements, decommissioningapproaches and technologies.

3. It should serve as a model for use in the decommissioning ofresearch reactors in other countries and so enabling othercountries to bring the national situations in line with internationalrecommendations.

4. The interaction between the parties include the regulatory body, theoperator, any contractors, the organisations responsible for theprocessing, transport and disposal of radioactive waste , theradiation protection personnel, decontamination anddismantling specialists, administrative personnel, as we ll aspoliticians and decision makers.

5. The focus of the Project is on demonstrating the decommissioningof a research reactor.

6. The scope includes all aspects of the decommissioning process, from establishing a legal and regulatory infrastructure to the final release of the facility from regulatory control.

7. Workshops and training courses would be held at a facility wh ichwould serve as a teaching laboratory for participants.

The participants would receive training through lectures and practicalinsights into the matters at the given site.

8. The Project is expected to capture lessons learned from the activitiesthat need to be performed in a decommissioning process and thenprovide access to this material to as many people as possible

Vietnam

P

Since(2006 to

present), national

law and

regulation on

nuclear energy

application for

peaceful

purposes have

been

promulgated,

following:

Vietnam’s atomic

energy law (No.

13/2008/L-CTN,

June, 12, 2008) to

include

Decommissioning

; Regulations for

activities on

nuclear control

(No. 45 / 2010/QD-

TTg, June, 14,

2010).

The initial

decommissioning

plan for the Dalat

Nuclear Research

Reactor (DNRR)

was prepared by

the operator

within the national

project and

completed in

September 2011.

Calculation of

radioactivity

inventory in the

structures of the

Dalat nuclear

research reactor

and some

Experiment

have been

carried out for

comparison with

calculation

results.

The preliminary

cost estimates for

decommissioning

project of the

Dalat Nuclear

Research Reactor

has been

prepared since

2011.

The availability

and use of

suitable

technology are

important parts of

decommissioning

planning. Our site

specific features

may demand

technology

adaptation of

mature

technology that

commercially

available.

B

Comprehensive

Nuclear Energy

Law.

The initial

decommissioning

plan is based on

IAEA

documentation.

Initial

characterization

nuclear

research reactor

stage.

It give the base to

ensure the

availability of

fund when

needed.

We can choose

mature

technology that

commercially

available.

Remarks

•Countries are at different stages of planning & implementation. Most countries still need

further assistance in the development and implementation of its Decommissioning Project

(technologies, technical capability for both operators/regulators);

•Obviously participating countries were benefited from the IAEA R2D2P, e.g. established

networking between regulators and operators, sharing information, experiences and lesson-

learnt in order to strengthen national decommissioning strategies;

•Some participating countries have the opportunity to host the R2D2 Workshop and these will

enable them to involved as much as possible national participation, so that more human

resources can be trained for capacity and competency building;

•The perception that the Decommissioning Project is a priority among decision makers will

greatly support the achievement of the goals and objectives of the project in a timely manner

•Finally, most research reactors in the R2D2 participating countries have more or less similar

design. The exchange of information and experience within the R2D2 project is a valuable

tool and should be continued.

•IAEA Training on Decommissioning has permitted some countries to form dedicated project

work groups for decommissioning resulting to a more systematic and effective

implementation of the decommissioning project.
