At the end of November, ChNPP obtained the original copy of the license entitling the enterprise to process and store the radioactive waste which exists and results from Shelter facility transformation into an environmentally safe system.
Amendments were made to the license, and they are about extension of the implementation periods for a number of activities at New Safe Confinement-Shelter facility. Particularly, they include:
1. Extension of service life period for Shelter facility unstable building structures for another 6 years — up to 2029. Unstable building structures are the Shelter facility structures whose collapse probability is very high.
2. Development of a new design for unstable structure dismantling — to 2025.
3. Completion of unstable structure dismantling — up to October 31, 2029.
