Project Aims

• To facilitate the needs for radiological measurements (characterisation) and conditioning of radioactive materials (radioactive waste).
• To facilitate the needs for waste characterisation and conditioning of existing radioactive waste stored at the Central storage for small producers.
• To facilitate future decommissioning of TRIGA Mark II reactor.
• To safely manage radioactive material in case of a radiological emergency in Slovenia.

Project Results

• Adopted plan for renovation and modernisation by regulatory body.
• Tested and applicable existing installations that meet fire protection criteria, radiological protection criteria and ecological criteria.
• Easy removal of possible future surface contamination in the facility.
• The possibility to perform radiological characterisation of radioactive waste and separation of radioactive and non-radioactive waste (CLEARANCE of non-radioactive waste from regulatory control) established.
• The possibility to control personal, surface and air contamination in the facility prepared.
• Controlled air and liquid effluents.
• The possibility to perform waste conditioning of open radioactive sources (cutting, sorting, segregation and compaction of compressible waste).
• The possibility to protect the workers in areas with high probability of surface and air contamination.
• The possibility to perform decontamination of equipment and building area.
• Transported and safely manipulate drums and shielding containers in the facility.

The budget for this project is: 500 000 euro.
