[en] Although the operating lives of many of the first generation of nuclear power stations have been extended many will be shutdown and need decommissioning in the next few years. National policies on decommissioning vary considerably. Japan requires complete reduction to a newly developable site in 5-10 years after shutdown. In the United Kingdom a deferred safestore strategy has been proposed with 135 years suggested as the time before a 'greenfield site' is achieved. Generally, there is a lack of experience in decommissioning. However, progress at Fort St Vrain, decommissioned ahead of schedule due to technical and financial problems, is briefly described. Decommissioning at Berkeley Advanced Gas Cooled reactor is reported. The schedule in Germany for decommissioning Standard Light Water Reactors is given and there is a brief outline of work at KWL Lingen. KRN Niederaichbach and KRB-A Gundremmingen. (UK)
