This Special Session was conducted in two segments.  The first segment provided presentations from Korean Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) participants on the status and challenges for decommissioning the Kori 1 NPP. The speakers presented four topics including 1.) Overview of the Korean approach and decommissioning drivers for Kori 1 NPP; 2.) Summary of current waste management issues at Korean NPPs; 3.) KHNP challenges for decommissioning the Kori 1 NPP; and 4.) Plans, issues, and challenges with the chemical decontamination of the Kori-1 NPP.  The second segment allowed for solution providers and exhibitors to engage in one-on-one, separate, closed door matching sessions to discuss and provide possible solutions to the problems and selected topics identified.  The goal was to increase information exchange and provide worldwide decommissioning management solutions.
