About the project

This report is a result from the project "FROM CLOSED ROOM TO OPENNESS: 
INVOLVEMENT OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE FUTURE OF THE NUCLEAR 
REACTORS IN NORTH WEST RUSSIA". Partners in the project are GREEN
WORLD from Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad ob last, GAIA ecological center from Apatity, 
Murmansk oblast and NORGES NATURVERNFORBUND (Friends of the Earth 
Norway), Norway.

The long-term goal of the project is to get an official plan of action for closure of 
the old units of the nuclear power plants (NPPs) in North West Russia. The plan should 
provide a safe, secure and environmentally reliable way to decommissioning, and set 
an acceptable time table for closure. In shorter term, the project shall contribute to 
a public debate on the future of the reactors, to participation of civil society in the 
process, and capacity building in environmental non-governmental organisations 
(NGOs).

Increased openness and public participation in the future of the old reactors are 
important. More open debate is both a goal in itself, and will be likely to influence 
decommissioning process in a positive way. It is vital to establish plans for when and 
how decommissioning shall take place. The lack of plans poses an obstacle to closure, 
and for establishment of alternative power capacity. Good plans will secure 
predictable conditions and reduce negative consequences for environment and social 
welfare.

Concerns about environmental impact, safety and security of nuclear power have 
relevance for the whole society. Therefore environmental NGOs, especially those 
close to nuclear power plants, feel it is their duty to engage in nuclear issues. 
The NGOs of this project wanted to focus on public participation and open dialogue.
