Description

The Heavy Water Research Reactor (HWRR) was constructed and put into operation in 1958 at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), located in the suburbs of Beijing. It was the first nuclear reactor in China. The HWRR is a 10 MW multipurpose research reactor and has been operated for 48 years. Because of its long operating history and aged equipment, it is scheduled to be finally shut down by the end of 2007. It has been decided by CIAE to implement a strategy of immediate dismantling after final shutdown. The paper describes the preparation work for the development of the HWRR decommissioning plan at CIAE. The establishment and organization of the project and the problems encountered are described. Progress and problems are addressed. The paper also discusses the measures needed for the successful planning of decommissioning. (author)
