2. In the financing period starting as of 2021, the Programme will assist with activities included …

(a)

dismantling and decontamination of the reactor shafts’ top and bottom zones and equipment in accordance with the decommissioning plan. Progress made in respect of this objective is to be measured by the quantity and type of materials removed as well as through earned value;

(b)

the design for the dismantling and decontamination of the reactor shafts’ central zones (graphite cores). Progress made in respect of this objective is to be measured through earned value. This objective is to be accomplished before 2027, when the relevant authorisations will be granted to carry out the actual dismantling and decontamination, which is scheduled to occur after 2027;

(c)

safe management of the decommissioning and legacy waste up to interim storage or to disposal (depending on the waste category), including the completion of the waste management infrastructure where necessary. This objective is to be accomplished in accordance with the decommissioning plan. Progress made in respect of this objective is to be measured by the quantity and type of waste safely stored or disposed of, as well as through earned value;

(d)

implementation of the building demolition programme. Progress made in respect of this objective is to be measured by the quantity of demolished buildings as well as through earned value;

(e)

obtaining the decommissioning licence once Unit 1 and Unit 2 of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant are defueled;

(f)

downgrading of radiological hazards. Progress made in respect of this objective is to be measured through the safety assessments of the activities and the facility, identifying ways in which potential exposures could occur and estimating the probabilities and magnitude of potential exposures.
