Long-term decommissioning programmes of nuclear facilities (NPPs, fuel cycle plants, research facilities, etc.) are major stakes for the nuclear industry, and innovation initiatives are needed.
This SFEN international conference was a unique event where worldwide experience was shared in the fields of decommissioning strategy and programme development, regulation evolution, development of new D&Ds’ technologies, initial radiological state characterisation, feedback and challenges of D&D complex operations, material and radioactive waste management, buildings and sites rehabilitation, economic, financial aspects and contracting of dismantling operations, digital contribution to D&D operations.
