EU to provide EUR 1 billion for decommissioning

The European Commission has proposed allocating EUR 1.05 billion over 2007-13 for the closure of two Lithuanian and two Slovak reactors required to be shut down under the terms of EU accession. Ignalina 1 & 2 are very large RBMK reactors attracting EUR 815 million and Bohunice 1 & 2 are early VVER-440 units, receiving EUR 237 million. In both cases the funding extends beyond the technical decommissioning to arranging replacement capacity. [EC 29/9/04]
