The removal of all four steam generators from the reactor building at Germany's shut down Unterweser nuclear power plant, which began in mid-May, has now been completed, PreussenElektra announced.

The estimated GBP136 billion (USD184 billion) cost of decommissioning the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria would increase even more should work be further delayed, the UK House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has warned.

The first container has been filled with long-lived low- and intermediate-level waste from the used fuel pools of unit 3 at Belgium's Doel nuclear power plant, which was shut down in September 2022 and is now being decommissioned.

Work has begun at Italy's Garigliano nuclear power plant to dismantle an old radioactive waste system, used during the plant's operation to manage radioactive liquid effluents. A new system was put into operation in 2022 for the treatment of such waste.

The defueling of the second of two reactors at Hunterston B means the plant has become the first of the UK's seven advanced gas-cooled reactor power plants to be declared free of all used nuclear fuel ahead of decommissioning.
