The EWN approach is thus characterized by a high degree of management responsibility, a clear<br />
distinction between strategic and operational decisions and a clear definition of control activities and<br />
issues.<br />

3.4.3. Organisation structure of decommissioning and project management<br />
organisation<br />
Requirements<br />
The main tasks <strong>to</strong> be fulfilled by a decommissioning project are:<br />
The timely removal of contamination and <strong>the</strong> enclosure of activated and contaminated<br />
components and structures in accordance with waste management practice and requirements;<br />
The removal of all buildings and structures that are not <strong>to</strong> be re-used;<br />
The release of <strong>the</strong> site from regula<strong>to</strong>ry control.<br />
As this requires resources (in <strong>the</strong> cases discussed in this <strong>study</strong>: public resources) an additional<br />
requirement is that <strong>the</strong> amount of consumed resources shall be minimized, as far as minimization<br />
does not compromise safety.<br />
There are currently no formulated requirements in Germany on how <strong>the</strong> organisation structure and<br />
<strong>the</strong> overall management of a decommissioning project should be designed. Usual handbooks for<br />
decommissioning concentrate solely on <strong>the</strong> health and safety aspects of management. Only for this<br />
Safety Management of <strong>the</strong> opera<strong>to</strong>r have formal regulations been defined (compatible and in<br />
accordance with IAEA (IAEA 1999) and WENRA (WENRA 2007) requirements). As such regulation does<br />
not contribute <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> question of how <strong>to</strong> best organize and control a decommissioning project, <strong>the</strong><br />
following description does not center on <strong>the</strong> Safety Management requirements alone.<br />
