To provide background information for power sectors reviews, information on decommissioning of nuclear power plant is summarized and the main issues are outlined in the report. The report covers regulatory aspects and the efforts of the IAEA to assist member states, particulary developing countries, in instituting a regulatory framework and relevant standards. Estimates of decommissioning cost vary considerably but, with a discounting factor, this cost represents an increase of a few percent on the total cost of generation.
