ANNEX 2 - MEETING AGENDA FOR BULGARIA, LITHUANIA AND SLOVAKIA<br />
The following meeting agenda resp. questionnaire was sent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> member states.<br />
Meeting agenda<br />
Main task of <strong>the</strong> meeting<br />
Öko-Institute – as research and consultancy institution in <strong>the</strong> field of nuclear engineering - was<br />
commissioned by <strong>the</strong> Budgetary Control Committee of <strong>the</strong> <strong>European</strong> <strong>Parliament</strong> (EP) with a <strong>study</strong><br />
analysing <strong>the</strong> management of costs and risks in <strong>the</strong> decommissioning of nuclear power plants (see<br />
attached file 'Intro Letter Study on Nuclear decommissioning Öko'). The management of several of<br />
those projects in o<strong>the</strong>r EU member states shall be compared with <strong>the</strong> management in <strong>the</strong><br />
decommissioning of costs and risks in Bulgaria, Slovakia and Lithuania and recommendations shall<br />
be made that have <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>to</strong> improve that management, <strong>to</strong> reduce future costs and <strong>to</strong> avoid<br />
technical and economic risks.<br />
Meeting agenda<br />
The main method <strong>to</strong> understand your approach <strong>to</strong> manage <strong>the</strong> decommissioning project is by<br />
identifying any publications and by interviewing you as a responsible person. The interview shall<br />
discuss all relevant aspects within two or three hours time. If it seems appropriate, additional<br />
experts might participate in <strong>the</strong> meeting. In this interview we would like <strong>to</strong> discuss <strong>the</strong> following<br />
issues with you:<br />
The conceptual planning within <strong>the</strong> project:<br />
The overall plan of <strong>the</strong> project, it’s major packages, it’s serial flow, etc.<br />
The identified decision breakpoints in that plan (technical, regula<strong>to</strong>ry and financial<br />
dependencies, decision base, etc.)<br />
The time planning in that concept (What were <strong>the</strong> major set-backs in <strong>the</strong> time plans so far?<br />
What measures were taken <strong>to</strong> remove obstacles? Etc.)<br />
The financial planning within <strong>the</strong> project:<br />
How and on which knowledge/estimate base are financial plans set up and updated?<br />
How is, from <strong>the</strong> view of <strong>the</strong> opera<strong>to</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> decision process organized (internal and<br />
external process, structure of checks, approvals, past experiences with <strong>the</strong> decision<br />
process)?<br />
Which experiences were made with financial risks (What were <strong>the</strong> reasons for serious<br />
underestimates in <strong>the</strong> past? What influences your cost structure mostly (personnel costs,<br />
external cost fac<strong>to</strong>rs, etc.)?<br />
