8. Funding
When the Government indicated the new
“prompt decommissioning” strategy, SOGIN begun a in-depth
re-examination of the NPP’s decommissioning costs, taking account of
the new strategy. The assessment indicates an amount of ~ 2.650
MEuro for the total decommissioning of the 4 NPP’s (constant money
2001, including spent fuel and waste management costs), and ~
860 Millions of Euro for the decommissioning of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Facilities.
The main component of the total
decommissioning costs is the waste management costs and, in particular,
the waste disposal cost which strongly depends on the fees that are
required for the disposal in the final repository. In Italy, as the
latter has not been designed yet, it is difficult to define a precise
figure; about 10 KEuro per cubic meter has been considered.
ENEL accumulated funds during NPP’s
operation, but the early closure of these plants has prevented the
reaching of the total amount of money necessary for the
decommissioning. Additional costs will derive from different economic
conditions (new assumed discount rate and taxes), from the management
costs of a new company (SOGIN), and from the change in strategy (from
SAFESTORE to DECON).
ENEA has not accumulated any fund
for decommissioning.
A Decree of the Ministry of the
Industry issued on January 26th, 2000 states that funds needed for
decommissioning shall be complemented by a levy on the price of the
sold kWh.
