PARTNERS MAINT COMPANY LTD § Brennilis reactor is an experimental reactor moderated with heavy water and cooled with carbon dioxide (HWGCR). The reactor was to have a power of 70 MW. § The startup occurred in 1967. § BRENNILIS REACTOR In 1985 the reactor was decommissioned. International Nuclear Forum "BULGARIAN NUCLEAR ENERGY NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND WORLD ENERGY SAFETY “, Varna, 2 -4 June 2011 3

PARTNERS MAINT COMPANY LTD DECOMMISSIONING Brennilis marks the first dismantling of a complete nuclear power station in France. EDF and CEA announced intention to make a transparent process so that it can be used as a model for dismantling of other plants later. The process is divided into 3 phases: Phase 1 This phase was launched in 1985, similar to a refueling outage the fuel is moved to the spent fuel pool, but new fuel is not loaded, and the fuel on site is evacuated. Phase 2 started in 1997, consisting of: • decontamination and disassembling of the buildings except for the reactor itself. • evacuation of the nuclear waste. In 2005 phase 2 officially finished. Phase 3 which is currently underway, consist of: • dismantling of the heat exchangers. • dismantling of the Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) – ONET TECHNOLOGIES leader of consortium ONET TECHNOLOGIES/NUKEM TECHNOLOGIES. • demolition of the containment (Reactor building).
