Decommissioning
As part of the planning of the joint project it will be necessary to consider the eventual decommissioning of the nuclear power plant. This will be required at the end of the life of the plant or in the

Contracting Methods and Project Management
For the joint nuclear power station it is essential that the methods of contracting and project management reflect the nature and aims of the joint project and the joint capabilities and resources of GPC and CLP. A key aim will be to secure the maximum transfer of technology to this end, GPC and CLP will and expertise to GPC and CLP and, jointly take the central role in the management of the project.
a turnkey approach Of the various methods of contracting available, has been rejected as being inconsistent with the aim of transfer of An technology and close control of the project by GPC and CLP. approach requiring a large number of separate contracts has also been rejected as being outside the present project management resources of GPC and CLP. There is a wide range of possibilities between these extremes, and it is the intention to maintain a flexible approach at this stage until specific offers are available.

It is the intention that, to achieve further transfer of technology and to reduce foreign exchange requirements, preference will be given to GPC resources for civil engineering and plant erection work site. It will be necessary, for this approach, that the price can be shown to be competitive on an international basis.
