REGULATORY CHALLENGES OF NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT

DOI HANDLE Web Site

Description

Nuclear Decommissioning Projects and Programmes (NDPs) are a growing, multidisciplinary challenge. NDPs often suffer from cost overruns, and there is a limited understanding of why such overrun happens. Moreover, there is a limited investigation on NDPs from the project management perspective. Previous studies identified that the challenges related to laws and regulations are relevant factors affecting the NDP performance in terms of cost and time. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the NDP regulatoryrelated challenges from the project management perspective. Hence, firstly, the NDP characteristics that affect NDP performance according to experienced practitioners are collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed through content analysis. Then, thematic analysis is performed to investigate and classify the regulation-related challenges of NDPs. Finally, as an example, this paper focuses on the challenge of asbestos in NDPs, discussing the interviewees’ answers on this topic, as well as systematically crosscomparing the national reports for the “Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management” review meetings.
