Dismantling these nuclear facilities, as well as dealing with radioactive waste and residual materials and treating them prior to clearance and final disposal, necessitates extensive know-how and compliance with a wide range of regulations. This will pose great challenges for operators of nuclear facilities in the future. In October 2017, VPC therefore decided to create the Nuclear Services business line with the goal of accompanying the administrative and technical process of decommissioning and dismantling nuclear facilities, and implementing it safely and efficiently end-to-end.
