Studsvik wins MEUR 7.2 decommissioning contract

Studsvik has been awarded a specialist consulting contract in the
decommissioning of Belgonucleaire's fuel fabrication plant in Dessel,
Belgium. The assignment, valued at EUR 1.8 million annually, will
involve supervisors and two teams of operators and is expected to
last for four years.
Belgonucleaire aims to decommission the plant to release the
buildings for other nuclear activities. The production area with
glove boxes, remaining equipment and infrastructure are to be
carefully and safely dismantled and packed into waste drums.

Studsvik will take on an expert role in the project, advising
Belgonucleaire and other contractors on the decommissioning. Studsvik
has experience from dismantling fuel plants in the same category
(MOX) as the Dessel plant after participating in the decommissioning
of Siemens' plant in Hanau, Germany in 2001-2005. Belgonucleaire will
coordinate and supervise the project."Experience from dismantling MOX fuel fabrication plants is rare and
is one of the reasons for Belgonucleaire to team up with Studsvik in
this decommissioning project", says  Alain Vandergheynst,
Decommissioning Manager of Belgonucleaire."The Dessel plant will be an important project for Studsvik in the
coming years. It will strengthen our market position both in Belgium
and in decommissioning," says Studsvik's President and CEO Magnus
Groth.

Belgonucleaire was issued necessary permits for the decommissioning
in 2008 and the project is scheduled to start in the second quarter
2009. The Belgian company will end its activities after
decommissioning the plant.

The fuel fabrication plant was closed in 2006. MOX fuel is a mixture
of plutonium and uranium oxides and is used in commercial nuclear
power plants.
