Conclusions
It can be concluded that project management:
As established from the beginning of the decommissioning of the EWN reactors, is one of the
major factors in achieving planning reliability and cost efficiency;
Tools tailored to the needs in this decommissioning project provide a reliable control tool to
perform estimates of time and cost requirements;
Tools make it possible to track work progress continuously and closely, to validate initial
estimates and to increase overall estimate reliability;
Is, besides general management factors, a major reason why decommissioning in Greifswald
kept on track.
3.4.4. Risk management
Requirements
Public entities such as EWN are required by law (HGrG 2013) to apply best practice in their business
accounting and to regularly check due diligence of their commercial practice. Additionally stock
companies are required to install and operate an early warning risk detection system (AktG 2013) 10 .
Even though not formally applicable in this case, BMF as owner and as funder required EWN to install
a dedicated Risk Management System (RMS) and to concentrate all company activities that handle,
evaluate and control risks within that consistent system.
Practice
Figure 25 shows the four different fields of managing risks and describes the main tasks that activities
in these fields address.
