Approaches and Options for SAFSTOR & PROMPT DECON

License transfers executed at Zion and La Crosse provide a model for transferring D&D risk and liabilities from a utility to another company. Proven ability to commence and accelerate decommissioning operations.

Public and stakeholder concerns with SAFSTOR can be mitigated through planning and commencement with PROMPT DECON.

Overall reduced risk in the areas of industrial and radiological safety, public and regulatory stakeholder acceptance, project cost and schedule, and radioactive waste transport and disposal.
