Decommissioning of nuclear facilities

Engineering Costing
for decommissioning of nuclear facilities

METR has been managing renewable energy projects at the Nuclear Power Plant for over 30 years.


We don't just calculate—we justify, optimize, and defend P&ID budgets at the intersection of national legislation and IAEA international standards.

When decommissioning nuclear facilities, the role of design and survey work is decisive, since dismantling a radiation-hazardous facility is more complex and dangerous than

its construction.

Our proven case is the successful defense of a design and survey budget amounting to 11% of construction and assembly work as part of the state feasibility study

"Decommissioning of the BN-350 reactor facility," costing

115 billion tenge (US $ 250 million).

Design and survey stages

during decommissioning of nuclear facilities

  • Comprehensive Engineering and Radiation Survey (KIRO)

    The main stage of the survey.

    This includes a detailed study of the condition of building structures, radiation level measurements, and determination of the volume and composition of radioactive waste.

  • Engineering, geological, geodetic,

    environmental and meteorological surveys.

    Assessment of the stability of degraded soils during the operation of a nuclear facility.

  • Design costs

    Budget for design of all stages: feasibility study, design, construction documentation.

  • Development of special technical conditions (STC)

    For unique decommissioning facilities, the development of separate regulatory documents and approvals from national regulators is required.

  • Development of EIA

    Developing an environmental impact assessment. Calculating potential risks to personnel and the public over the entire period of operation.

The calculation fee is 0.2 - 0.5% of the final protected cost of the design and survey work.

The advance payment for the work is set as a fixed amount based on the preliminary, consolidated project estimate.
