South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission has approved the decommissioning of unit 1 at the Kori nuclear power plant near Busan. The unit was permanently shut down in June 2017, becoming the first South Korean reactor to enter decommissioning.

Energy services group GDES and technology company Alisys are developing an autonomous quadruped robot for decommissioning and waste management firm Enresa to support the decommissioning of the Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plant in Spain.

The removal of all four steam generators from the reactor building at Germany's shut down Unterweser nuclear power plant, which began in mid-May, has now been completed, PreussenElektra announced.

The estimated GBP136 billion (USD184 billion) cost of decommissioning the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria would increase even more should work be further delayed, the UK House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has warned. It says not enough progress has been made in addressing the project's most significant hazards.
