3. A report on safety analysis upon application for a construction license has the following contents:

a/ Design and manufacture:

b/ Tentative plan on installation, test operation and pre-handover test;

c/ Safety analysis when the facility is put into operation:

d/ Tentative plan on operation termination, dismantlement and radioactive decontamination.

Article 36.- Dismantlement and radioactive decontamination of radiation facilities

1. When terminating its operation, a radiation facility shall submit to the radiation and nuclear safety agency for approval a plan on dismantlement, radioactive decontamination and disposal of its radiation source or radioactive waste, and organize the implementation of the approved plan.

2. The radiation and nuclear safety agency shall organize the inspection of the dismantlement, radioactive decontamination and disposal of radiation sources and radioactive waste, and issue decisions to recognize the radiation facility's discharge of the responsibility to assure safety.

3. Radiation facility shall bear all expenses for the dismantlement and storage or disposal of radioactive wastes generated in the process of dismantlement.

4. The dismantlement, radioactive decontamination and disposal of radiation sources and radioactive waste comply with national technical regulations.

5. The Science and Technology Ministry shall specify the order and procedures for the evaluation and approval of radiation facilities' plans on dismantlement, radioactive decontamination and disposal of radiation sources and radioactive waste.
