Dismantling of two of the world's most powerful RBMK reactors is a decommissioning project with no analogues in the world. The dismantling of Unit 1 is expected to start in 2027 and Unit 2 in 2029.

Publicizing information on planned reactor dismantling activities is an effective means of attracting the best experts and the most experienced multinational companies to implement this project. One-day seminars „Reactor Core Dismantling“ were organized four times in 2018. The workshops attracted interest from foreign companies, making it a great opportunity to present the expectations and foreseeable challenges of the INPP reactor dismantling project, and to evaluate the technical and financial aspects of the project.

Seminars were attended by representatives of 46 companies from Spain, France, Great Britain, Ukraine, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Japan, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as by representatives of the European Commission, Ministry of Energy, Central Project Management Agency, State Nuclear Power Safety Inspectorate (VATESI), INPP.The material of these seminars is available on the INPP website https://www.iae.lt/naujienos/pateiktys/25

The material on reactors core dismantling project R3 will be available on INPP site https://www.iae.lt/en/reactor-core-dismantling-project-r3/373
