Procurement for the determination of uncontrolled levels of radioactivity

On 14 May, SE INPP announced the procurement of services for the determination of conditional uncontrolled levels of radioactivity of waste accumulated at the INPP industrial waste landfill. The purpose of this procurement is to determine the conditional uncontrolled levels of radioactivity of the waste accumulated in the INPP industrial waste landfill (hereinafter – the landfill) to no longer apply the radiation safety requirements to the landfill.

The services must be provided within 720 calendar days from the date on which the service purchase agreement comes into force.

The landfill in the territory of INPP was put into operation in 1985 and was closed in 2015. This is an area with 14 separate landfills for the disposal of various industrial waste. During the operation period of the Landfill, about 30,842 m3 of waste was accumulated. It consists of mixed construction and demolition waste, various packaging, obsolete equipment parts, biodegradable waste, etc.

Within the scope of this project, conditional no-control levels will have to be established after assessing the radiological and location characteristics of the waste. Once approved, radiological control will no longer be needed, and the territory will be given the status of a landfill, i.e., the waste could be left safely (subject to certain safety and environmental monitoring measures) at its current location.

The activities are funded by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism under the project "Safety Enhancement of Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant Radioactive Waste management".
