Description

Decommissioning of a nuclear powered generating station can be defined as the removal of the facility from service at the end of its useful life, and the transformation of the facility into an out-of-service state in a manner that provides adequate protection for the health and safety of the decommissioning workers, the general public and for the environment, all within the regulatory requirements of the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB). The decommissioning process which involves decontamination, dismantling, radiological protection, physical security, and waste disposal activities must be funded by the utilities which have operated these facilities. AECL was contracted to provide a cost estimate for the ultimate decommissioning of the Point Lepreau Generating station in New Brunswick and Gentilly-2 Generating station in Quebec. 7 refs., 5 tabs., 1 fig
