EDF UK NPPs, UK
Background
EDF in the UK is the owner and operator of 14 Advanced Gas cooled Reactors (AGR) across the UK. These reactors will be progressively brought off-line and go into decommissioning over the coming years and EDF in the UK is preparing its decommissioning plans.
Graphitech* is part of the integrated project team, made up of EDF SA, EDFUK and Cyclife to assist EDFUK in their decommissioning mission.
Challenge
- EDF in the UK needs to prepare for the shutdown and decommissioning of its currently operational AGR fleet EDF in the UK has called on the expertise of the wider
- EDF Group in order to be fully prepared for decommissioning
Our proposal
Graphitech assisted in the AGR decommissioning plan:
- Baseline Decommissioning Plan (BDP) critical review to identify gaps / opportunities in dismantling methodology
- Programmisation of fleet reactor dismantling activities
- Build 3D-model of one reactor (including reactor building, CPV & internals)
Customer benefits
Graphitech has leveraged its significant experience and know how in this area to deliver an optioneering and concept design for reactor dismantling.
