Introduction

Case study 1:Leningrad Nuclear

Power PlantCase study 2:Japan NuclearFuels Limited

Case study 3:Hanford WasteTreatment Plant


• Operating from 1966 to 2015• Preparing for SAFSTOR• Creating a decommissioning

database for future generations based on Bentley technology

• Researching ways of presenting and organising information

• “An information system for decommissioning is absolutely required.”- Neolant

Case study 1– Leningrad NPP, Neolant

• Integrated engineering system based on Bentley technology since 2002

• Major 2D – 3D legacy data translation

• 3D decommissioning system based on MicroStation and Navigator

• Security and accountability documentation

Case Study 2 – Summary

Risk minimised through:− Work breakdown structure

optimisation− Advanced simulations− Immersive visualisation− Container optimisation

− Special WBS research project underway with a major nuclear equipment vendor


• 53M gallons of radioactive liquid waste stored in 177 underground tanks

• World’s largest radioactive waste treatment vitrification plant

• Distributed engineering environment, 3 design centres, largest ProjectWise deployment to date

• Complex project, on the scale of 2 nuclear power plants

Conclusion

• Minimising risk through IT in nuclear decommissioning:− Today it’s about digitisation, decommissioning databases,

remote collaboration, work packaging, simulation, visualisation− Tomorrow it will be about open standard interoperability of

information and tools for lifecycle engineering management, and nuclear strength management of change

• Bentley is a leading IT provider in the nuclear engineering market
