Abstract:
Companies operating in the nuclear energy sector are recently facing many challenges. Great attention is
emerging about the phase of decommissioning nuclear facilities. It depends more and more upon how
effectively and efficiently their knowledge management approaches, processes and tools are applied to
codify, protect and use knowledge to guarantee security and enhance process performance. Among them,
particular relevance is assuming the Integrated Decommissioning Management Tools (IDMT). The aim of
this paper is to present the experience – in terms of evidences and managerial implications – of the
adoption of IDMT for decommissioning nuclear facilities by the Italian Ansaldo Nucleare SpA.
