The IAEA is launching a three-part webinar series on the Global Status of Decommissioning (GSD), highlighting global progress, diverse approaches and key challenges in nuclear decommissioning. Each webinar brings together international experts to share lessons learned, best practices, and emerging trends, offering actionable insights for both advanced and emerging decommissioning programmes.
Key topics
- Strategy selection and dismantling scenarios
- Sustainability and circular economy approaches
- Long-term funding management
- Emerging technologies for safe and efficient decommissioning
- Capacity building and workforce planning
- Site characterization and radioactive waste management
- Regulatory frameworks and stakeholder engagement
Discover how the GSD project aims to collect data through a questionnaire and how this data will be used to provide a comprehensive overview of various practices and trends. Through case studies and sharing of best practices, participants will gain valuable insights into the challenges many Member States face and how sharing lessons learned supports more effective decommissioning.
