The project was financed from the budget of the Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Kingdom of Norway.

Project objective:
Introduction of modern 3D modeling and visualization technologies to improve work efficiency and safety during all stages of ChNPP decommissioning by establishing and developing Visualization Center creating and developing for the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant decommissioning.

Within the project framework it was implemented:
1. Approval of the Project Agreement final version.
2. Preparation of a package of documents for the Project State Registration.
3. Development of ChNPP CDVC specialized software by IFE.
4. Procurement of hardware and software for the CDVC creation.
5. Installing the CDVC software ("ProCre ChNPP", "Planner ChNPP", "Trainer ChNPP") and Chornobyl NPP personnel training.
6. Preparation for 3D modeling for ChNPP test scenario.
7. 3D modeling for the test scenario, scenario development for the CDVC acceptance tests.
8. Acceptance tests of the CDVC at the site and the project closure.
9. The CDVC was commissioned into trial operation.

From 2018 to 2020 the Project 761 ChNPP Decommissioning Visualization Centre — ChNPP Planner Extension and Optimization was implemented

Project budget was 4,180,150.00 Norwegian krones.

Project purpose was:
1. Improvement of the ChNPP Decommissioning Visualization Centre (CDVC) capabilities as a tool of planning, training and visualization.
2. ChNPP staff training for use of state-of-the-art technologies during the ChNPP decommissioning.
3. Further enhancement and extension of ChNPP Planner software functionality.

At the end of 2020, ChNPP received the software and hardware for the CDVC under this project.

The project was funded by the European Union in the framework of 2002 TACIS Action Program.

Project objective:

Ensuring implementation of the Integrated Waste Management Plan, including SNF and taking into account Waste, generated during SIP implementation, monitoring of the ongoing ICSRM construction and other support facilities, and procurement of a new auxiliary facilities to ensure ChNPP power Units 1, 2, 3 decommissioning.

Project outcomes:

Establishment of the Project Coordination Unit at the site (PCU), whose activities are aimed at main tasks accomplishing:
• updating the Integrated Waste Management Plan interaction management;
• review and implementation of the projects economic analysis as it is defined in the available Technical Specifications, developing evaluation criteria for the Tender dossiers, providing the assistance and additional experts to evaluate the proposals;
• Supporting the Contractor in the equipment certification, preparation of customs clearance and taxes exemption documents, and End user supporting in the installation licensing (designing, construction, commissioning and operation);
• Verification of the Contractor's reports, execution cost and schedule, compliance with the Technical Specifications.

The Project is financed from the funds of the European Union in the framework of Agreement on funding of the Annual Action Programme 2012 for Nuclear Safety – Part II”.

The general objective of the Project, a part of which is Service Contract No. INSC/366-483 dated December 20, 2016, is to enhance safety of activities related to decommissioning, management of RAW and ionizing radiation sources, rehabilitation of radioactively contaminated territories through the improvement of the personnel training system at all levels.

Project Tasks are as follows:

Task 1: project preparation and initial phase;
Task 2: identification of training needs in Ukraine;
Task 3: analysis of the best world practice and experience of personnel training in the area of RAW and LLW management, decommissioning and rehabilitation of territories;
Task 4: development of training programs, courses, modules and training materials;
Task 5: trainings of instructors and pilot courses for personnel training;
Task 6: sharing the project results and issuance of the final report.

Completion status:

The project was completed in December 2019.

Within the project the training courses, modules and training content were developed. A 2-week training for the trainers and specialists of the Exclusion Zone enterprises as well as the pilot training courses for the SSE ChNPP staff in the area of decommissioning, RAW management and area remediation were held.
