Hot Cell Laboratory and Decontamination
Special facilities and experienced personnel are required for the safe handling and decontamination of radioactive substances. Plant and facilities are decontaminated in accordance with strict safety requirements.
Reactor Decomissioning completed
Our experienced operational team has taken on the task of decommissioning the 10 MW research reactor after 40 years of safe operation. Following a thorough environmental impact assessment, decommissioning was concluded in October 2006, thus setting European benchmarks for dismantling time and costs.

On behalf of the Federal Government we disassembled the ASTRA research reactor in Seibersdorf that had been shut down in 1999, in a record time of about five years. We are proud of the performance of our decommissioning team that has set a European milestone.
