Bohunice International Decommissioning Support Fund (BIDSF) Bohunice International Decommissioning Support Fund (BIDSF) for shutdown of both units of V1 NPP in Jaslovské Bohunice was established based on the Slovak Government Decision on immediate decommissioning of V1 NPP as a compensation of the European Union.

The V1 NPP decommissioning activities are co-financed from the programme for providing financial support of the European Union for the measures related to the decommissioning of the nuclear power plant (NPP) V1 by means of Bohunice International Decommissioning Support Fund (BIDSF Fund), administered by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

The Environmental Impact Assessment is regulated on the European Union level by the following legal provisions: Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment of 13 December 2011 (EIA Directive) Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (SEA Directive).

The purpose of the National Radioactive Waste Repository (NRWR) Mochovce is to store low and intermediate activity RAW from the operation and decommissioning of the Jaslovské Bohunice and Mochovce nuclear power plants.

Part of the project is the elaboration of a Preliminary Environmental Study on basis of which the Ministry of Environment SR will establish the extent of assessment applicable to the Assessment Report.

The NRA SR resolution No. 400/2011 on the approval of the first stage of V1 NPP decommissioning of the 19th of July 2011 was issued on the basis of application of company JAVYS, a.s., dated 17th of December 2010 and the approval from the European Commission in accordance with article 37 of the EURATOM Treaty.

Complex technological process of treatment of nuclear fuel from mining of uranium ore to storage of spent nuclear fuel is called the fuel cycle. When mentioning the final permanent storage of spent nuclear fuel, we speak about an open fuel cycle, and in case of reprocessing of utilizable part of spent nuclear fuel to new nuclear fuel, we speak about closed fuel cycle.

Spent nuclear fuel from pressurized water reactors represents a valuable nuclear material, since it still has a higher content of 235U than natural uranium, moreover, there are also new fission isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu.

Jadrová a vyraďovacia spoločnosť (JAVYS), is a company with 100% of the shares held by the state, who exercises its rights as a shareholder through the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic.

The forming of this company is tightly related to the privatization of the Slovenské elektrárne company. One of the major postponing conditions in the transaction documents on the privatization of Slovenské elektrárne, was the detachment of selected nuclear assets (detached plants SE-VYZ and SE-EBO V1), in which the Italian ENEL company was not interested.
