Nuclear Decommissioning: Management of Costs and Risks

as performed in cooperation with EWN (see ANNEX 5). This analysis identified that there is a
substantial need for further funding of EUR 300 million of the V1 NPP Bohunice decommissioning
process at that time.
The most recent cost analysis estimated the total costs for the decommissioning from 2003 until 2025
to be EUR 1 141 million (including the spent fuel wet storage costs).The direct decommissioning costs
sum up to EUR 868 million and the costs incurred due to premature shutdown to EUR 273 million
respectively (JAVYS 2013).
The costs due to premature shutdown were calculated as follows (JAVYS 2013): The V1 nuclear power
plant (which is made of two units) should normally have remained in operation until 2015. But as
mentioned earlier the Unit 1 was shut down in December 2006 and the Unit 2 in December 2008
respectively. A National Nuclear Fund for Decommissioning (NNF) was established in 2006 according
to the Act No. 238/2006 Coll. (Act 2006, see also chapter 4.3.1). So the operator paid contributions to
the NNF until to December 2006 for the operation of the two blocks and only for the remaining block
until December 2008.
The overall estimated costs and their share to different resources are shown in Figure 43. The EU pays
the decommissioning costs firstly to the Bohunice International Decommissioning Support Fund
(BIDSF) which is administrated by EBRD. This total financial support is about EUR 348 million. The
BIDSF further covers the costs of EUR 100 million which are not granted.

National resources need to cover the costs of EUR 363 million. Additionally about EUR 200 million will
be supported by EU from 2014 until 2020. A remaining gap of EUR 129 million is still not covered. Due
to development of several strategies how to cover the costs and/or due to a more accurate cost
estimation the aforementioned estimated remaining gap of EUR 300 million was reduced.
According to JAVYS 2013 the relation between the costs covered by BIDSF and NNF shifted from
54 %/46 % (BIDSF/NNF) in 2011 towards 42 %/59 % (BIDSF/NNF) in 2012.
