Technical requirements: Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning has been given the task of clearing up after Norway's nuclear activities at Kjeller and in Halden. Decommissioning of the sites involves, amongst other things, that radioactive material is securely stored in a land fill. NND has started a process to develop land fill solutions for all classes of radioactive waste. The development is based on a concept where different types of land fill are combined in one site, which is called the National Site.
The Contracting Authority intends to enter into a framework agreement with one tenderer per sub-contract, within the following sub-areas:
2. Development of a concept for the disposal of used fuel or other highly radioactive waste in a bore hole.
NND has started a process to develop land fill solutions for all classes of radioactive waste. The development is based on a concept where different types of land fill are combined in one site, which is called the National Site. Several reports have been written on the concept. The intention of the new framework agreement is to continue to build on these reports in order to develop solutions for the disposal of used waste and other radioactive waste.
- To prepare information that can be used to make decisions on the choice of concept for the disposal of different types of radioactive waste.
- To establish a solid basis for further development of land fill solutions. This particularly includes the further development of general development plans, goals, and requirements.
- As much further development of the concepts as possible in the contract period, within tolerance criteria for risks and costs.
If the contracting authority enters into a contract with different tenderers for sub-contract 1 and sub-contract 2, the tenderers will inspect each others work in an independent review and verification.
See the requirements specification, Part 2 Annex 1, Appendix 1 for further information on the contract's scope and content.

Sub-area 2 will allow tenders from tenderers that are specialists in bore holes, but not necessarily in other types of land fills.
