The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population.

2 The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and International policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission takes part in the work of the OECD. OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation s statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members.

3 This work is published on the responsibility of the OECD Secretary-General. The opinions expressed and arguments employed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of all member countries. NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1 February 1958. Current NEA membership consists of 30 OECD member countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission also takes part in the work of the Agency. The mission of the NEA is: to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through International co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, as well as to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues, as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD policy analyses in areas such as energy and sustainable development.

4 Specific areas of competence of the NEA include the safety and regulation of nuclear activities, radioactive waste management, radiological protection, nuclear science, economic and technical analyses of the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear law and liability, and public information. The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data and computer program services for participating countries. In these and related tasks, the NEA works in close collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, with which it has a Co-operation Agreement, as well as with other International organisations in the nuclear field.

FOREWORD International Structure FOR Decommissioning costing (ISDC) OF NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS, ISBN 978-92-64-99173-6, OECD 2012 3 Foreword Nuclear Decommissioning : A Proposed Standardised List of Items for costing Purposes, colloquially known as The Yellow Book , was published in 1999 as a joint initiative of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Commission (EC).

8 The intent of the original report was to provide a uniform list of cost items for Decommissioning projects, with the aim of facilitating communication, promoting uniformity and avoiding inconsistency in cost evaluations for Decommissioning projects. One decade later, in 2009, the three sponsoring organisations decided to update the Yellow Book and undertook, as a preliminary step, an evaluation of users experience in the use of the standardised cost Structure . The overall project was co-ordinated by the NEA Decommissioning Cost Estimation Group (DCEG), in which the IAEA and the Directorate-General for Energy (DG-ENER) of the European Commission participated. The review concluded that the cost Structure proposed in the Yellow Book was being used in several countries either directly or by mapping the cost evaluation onto this Structure for purposes of comparison but that its use was not universal, for example because national reporting requirements called for a different aggregation of costs.

9 Respondents identified a number of ambiguities in the definition of certain cost items and called for greater coherence at different hierarchical levels of the Structure . The survey also showed a strong need to have an associated Users Manual to provide guidance on applying the standardised cost Structure to different types of cost estimate and thereby to promote greater uniformity in estimations. The two-year project leading to the production of this report was a co-operative effort among the three sponsoring organisations. It comprised three main elements: a) an overview of Decommissioning costing managed by the NEA; b) an update of the cost Structure managed by the IAEA; and c) the preparation of a Users Manual managed by DG-ENER.

10 These three outputs were subsequently integrated into this report, which supersedes the 1999 edition. In order to avoid any confusion with the earlier cost Structure , the standardised Structure described in this report will be known as the International Structure for Decommissioning costing (ISDC).
