Abstract
This section of the report defines alternative procedures by which the decommissioning of a 1200 MW(e) pressurised water reactor (PWR) could be undertaken. A number of scenarios are postulated and the decommissioning process associated with each scenario is described. Where appropriate, references are given which cover specific aspects of decommissioning in more detail. Sufficient description of both the main plant items and the major civil structures is given to enable meaningful statements on various aspects of decommissioning to be made.
