The most important part of the nuclear facilities in the former German Democratic Republic is situated at Greifswald near the Baltic Sea. Shortly after reunification of the Germany states, a decision was taken to decommission all Russian pressurised water reactors. The dismantling of them will be the biggest decommissioning project of series reactors world-wide. The low level of radioactive contamination, especially in the primary circuit, makes recycling of much material after decontamination possible.
