1 December 2015, computer hardware and software were delivered to ChNPP site within the international technical assistance project “Creation and Implementation of Chernobyl NPP Decommissioning Visualization Center”.
The project is implemented within the Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway on cooperation in the field of nuclear and radiation safety, Chernobyl NPP decommissioning and Shelter object transformation into ecologically safe system. It is funded by the Norwegian Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the contractor for the works is Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway.
This equipment and software will be used to implement modern technologies of three-dimensional modeling and visualization into the Chernobyl NPP decommissioning process. The Center, created within the project will allow planning, training, planning and control of radiation doses, and visualization of radiation scenarios to perform various tasks. It will enable to lower labor costs, radiation exposure of staff, to improve efficiency and safety of dismantling, radioactive materials management. In addition, the Center will be used to demonstrate the decommissioning process to the public and authorities.
The Center is scheduled to be launched into the pilot operation in early spring 2016.
