Experts in nuclear decommissioning planning and costing

3Decom is providing consultancy, engineering, training and R&D services in the field of nuclear power plant characterization, decommissioning planning (both preliminary and detailed), costing and funding.

Our experts have long-lasting experience in these fields, both thanks to the well-developed decommissionning project in Slovak Republic but also from experience in other countries. We also cooperate with many external experts from other countries like Germany, France, Canada, U.S. or others.

We worked on various projects, from simple to complex ones in which our experts provided consultancy and engineering services related to different reactor designs, e.g. CANDU or VVER and in various fields of expertise, e.g. planning, costing and funding.
