Dounreay has hosted a visit by delegates from the Ministry of Economy & Central Project Management Agency in Lithuania from 7th-10th May. During their time on site, the group toured a number of facilities being decommissioned, including the Prototype Fast Reactor and former Fuel Cycle Area, and saw how the site manages the waste produced.
Under a consultancy contract won by UKAEA, the visit focused on training of programme management, concentrating on earned value management principles.
The UKAEA assistance to the Lithuania Ministry of Economy on decommissioning management has been a great opportunity for UKAEA to showcase to new clients its world class decommissioning skills and experience.
Birute Teškeviciene, Director of Nuclear Energy and Waste, said: "This has been a truly memorable experience which has provided the Lithuanian Ministry with an insight into a dedicated and highly professional decommissioning workforce. We have learnt many valuable lessons from this trip and we thank Dounreay for its time and warm welcome."
