Conclusions 37
Conclusions CNCAN regulatory practices for decommissioning activities of the VVR-S reactor are in line with the IAEA safety standards; VVR-S decommissioning funds should be covered by the national fund for radioactive waste management and decommissioning; The decommissioning process for VVR-S research reactor represent an important step to create a national school for the decommissioning the Cernavoda NPP and TRIGA research reactor; The IAEA R²D²P workshop on cost estimates and other similar events organized by the IAEA represent a strong support for the MS whits decommissioning plans under way. 38
