Abstract
This paper is a survey of the European Spallation Source initial decommissioning plan developed in compliance with Swedish Regulatory Authority requirements. The report outlines the decommissioning strategy selected and the baseline plan for decommissioning. Types and quantities of radioactive waste estimated to be generated at the final shut-down of the facility are further provided. The paper ends up with the analysis of the key elements of the decommissioning plan and the recommendations to the ESS management team..

Summary
The European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) is the European common effort in designing and building a generation large-scale user facility for studies of the structure and dynamics of materials. The proposed schematic layout of the ESS facility is based on a linear driver (linac) directing the proton beam (5 MW of 2 GeV) of 2.8 ms long pulses with a 20 Hz on a tungsten target where neutrons are produced via spallation reactions. The envisaged period for the decommissioning of the ESS facility is 2065 - 2070 after an expected 40 years of lifetime. This paper is a survey of the ESS initial decommissioning plan developed in compliance with Swedish Regulatory Authority requirements defined for non-nuclear facilities, and following the guidance provided by Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB)
