DD&R Division Mission
The mission of the Decommissioning,
Decontamination & Reutilization Division (DD&R)
is to promote the development and use of those skills
and technologies associated with the optimal
management of decommissioning, decontamination
& reutilization of nuclear and formerly nuclear
installations, materials, facilities, and sites for the
betterment of society. The target audience for this
effort is first the membership of the Division, second
the Society, and third the public at large.
Activities
• Organize D&D technical sessions at the two ANS meetings
each year (special attention to Hot Topics and emerging
issues)
• Sponsor or co-sponsor special conferences on a regular
basis
– Executive Conference, Topical Meetings, International
Meetings
• Provide Student Support
– Scholarship Endowment Fund
– Student support at ANS National Meetings
– Support student conferences
• Disseminate information on DD&R fields to interested
parties
• Cooperate with other scientific and professional groups
with related objectives
• Publish Semi-annual Division newsletter
• Provide honors and awards for DD&R members for various
meritorious activities

Issues
• D&D opportunities reduced in the near
term
– Successful plant life extensions
– Improved economics of operating plants
– Lower priority given to D&D by DOE-EM
• Too many D&D related meetings
– Reduced attendance at Topical/Executive
Conferences
– One Topical meeting had to be cancelled
• Reduced member interest and income
Goals
• Prepare technical position papers on major
issues
• Develop D&D standards on a planned schedule
• Integrate D&D activities within the overall
nuclear power systems development framework
• Develop mechanism for formal sharing of
experiences/lessons learned between US
(Commercial and Government) and
International activities

• Psychological issues with
D&D (vs. operations)
Summary of D&D Activities
Worldwide
• Significant amount of D&D activities in progress
– Initial sets of commercial nuclear plants undergoing
D&D.
– Over 50% of all research reactors worldwide are
shutdown. Some reactors have been decommissioned.
– Many non-power reactors are also in D&D across the
world.
• Resource availability for D&D is major issue for
research reactors worldwide (financial and
technical)
Recent DD&R Achievements
• Updated website (http://ddrd.ans.org/)
• Significantly enhanced Division
newsletter
– Full version on website; brief mailer
– Current issue is ~30 pages long
– Color photographs of facilities and equipment
• Student scholarship fund fully endowed
• Improved governance
– Bimonthly Executive Committee telecon
– Significant interactions between officers
during year
• Bylaw changes
Program Committee Plans
• 2002 ANS Summer Meeting (6/02, Hollywood,
FL)

• 2003 Summer Meeting (6/03 San Diego, CA)
– Embedded topical
Plans to have future joint meeting with NEI, EPRI in
addition to other ANS Divisions (e.g. FCWMD)
Future Outlook
• D&D landscape is changing
• Commercial D&D activity has started to
decrease; other elements should remain
steady
• In order to sustain vitality, DD&R Division
will need to:
– Place greater emphasis on re-utilization and re-licensing
– Integrate close with overall nuclear development
– Promote closer links between commercial/government/
international D&D activities
– Co-sponsor significant topical meetings annually with
other ANS divisions
