2008 ISOE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM. FI ALARA in the Dismantling of Nuclear Facilities Alejandro Rodríguez (ENRESA) 2008 ISOE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM. FI

In 1984, the Spanish Parliament took the decision to create a public company to undertake the management of the radioactive wastes generated in Spain and the dismantling of nuclear power plants. As a result the Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos, S.A. (ENRESA) was set up. This is a public non profit-making company whose shareholders are the Centre for Energy-related, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) and the State Industrial Holding Company SEPI. The main missions of ENRESA may be summarized as follows: Removal, transport, treatment, storage and disposal and control of the radioactive wastes generated in Spain. Dismantling of disused nuclear and radioactive facilities. Environmental restoration of uranium mines. Research and development.

The Management is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the competent authority, and in so doing may delegate certain functions to its subordinates, acting via the hierarchical framework. 2008 ISOE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM.

2008 ISOE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM. FI ALARA in Decommissioning The application of the ALARA principle and the Radiation Protection in decommissioning do not imply any significant novelty with respect to the way it is applied at other operating facilities. Although in practice several differences arise: The organization should be adapted to the new objectives of the project . The physical configuration of the facility is modified continuously: Loss of structural confinements (loss of isolation) Modification of the systems (Effluents, radiation surveillance, etc) The radiological status of the facility is continuously modified, and the radiological risks too Modification of the routes for personnel and materials Variation of the control areas 2008 ISOE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM.
