The facility comprises two <strong>RBMK<\/strong> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reaktor Bolshoy Moshchnosti Kanalnyy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) units equipped with water-cooled, graphite-moderated pressure-tube reactors, each with a rated electrical output of 1,500 MW(e).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each RBMK unit is equipped with four <strong>Steam Drum Separators (SDSs)<\/strong>, large water-steam separation vessels that formed a critical part of the reactor primary circuit during operation. The SDSs are cylindrical steel components containing complex internal structures, approximately <strong>34 m long and 3 m in diameter<\/strong>, with a mass of approximately 300 tonnes per unit. The scope of the Decommissioning Project includes the engineering, execution and management of the safe removal of the SDSs through dismantling and segmentation, together with the removal of the associated piping, thermal insulation, steel supports and adjacent structures. The resulting materials will be transferred to INPP, which will be responsible for their subsequent decontamination and final treatment as waste. The removal of the SDSs involves significant technical and radiological challenges, particularly those associated with <strong>access limitations<\/strong>, the handling of large and heavy components, and the appropriate <strong>application of the ALARA<\/strong> (<i>As Low As Reasonably Achievable<\/i>) principle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"10\">Three-phase decommissioning strategy<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address these challenges, a bottom-up dismantling strategy <strong>has been developed and divided into three phases.<\/strong> The first phase involves clearing the lower and central areas by removing the recirculation piping, support structures and auxiliary systems, thereby creating the space required to introduce a mobile crane. The second phase comprises the removal of the steam piping and the components located in the upper part of the room. The third phase addresses the opening, segmentation and dismantling of the SDSs. This sequence progressively <strong>improves accessibility<\/strong>, maintains structural stability and delays the opening of the SDS shells until the final stages, thereby limiting the spread of contamination and the deterioration of radiological conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1-293x301.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.revistanuclear.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Desmantelamiento-1-293x301.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>SDS decommissioning phases.
