INNO4GRAPH

All power plants have a finite life beyond which it is not economically feasible to operate them. In this case, they need to be decommissioned, cleaned up and demolished. The EU-funded INNO4GRAPH project will develop a set of tools and methods for dismantling power plant operations. Specifically, it will design 3D modelling of dismantling scenarios as well as measurement tools for the mechanical and physical properties. The project’s tools and methods will be put to the test at a full-scale graphite power plant demonstrator in Chinon, France, in 2022, facilitating their uptake and further development. The participation of all European graphite reactor operators in the consortium will launch an era of excellence in the graphite reactor decommissioning field.
