After the mutual acceptance of the Agreement, the Intergovernmental Commission confirmed the Terms of Reference for the creation of the First Revision of the Programme in 2003. The primary purpose of the First Revision was to estimate the total costs of the Kr\u0161ko NPP decommissioning and RW and SNF disposal in order to adjust the annual payments of the Slovenian co-owner of the Kr\u0161ko NPP to the Slovenian Fund for financing the decommissioning of the Kr\u0161ko NPP and disposal of RW and SNF, as well as define the obligations of the Croatian co-owner of the Kr\u0161ko NPP toward the corresponding Fund in Croatia, which was yet to be established. The First Revision was prepared by APO d.o.o. from Zagreb, ARAO from Ljubljana and the Kr\u0161ko NPP, with the cooperation of professional organisations in Croatia and Slovenia and experts engaged through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iaea.org\/\">International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)<\/a>technical cooperation project. The document was reviewed by the company Electricite de France (EDF). The First Revision of the Programme is based on the fact that the Kr\u0161ko NPP will operate until\u00a02023. Several strategies for decommissioning the power plant and management radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel were analysed, and generic facilities for storage and disposal of SNF, i.e. disposal of LILW, were foreseen. After the total costs assessment, it was estimated that EUR\u00a028.5\u00a0million should be paid annually into both national funds so that the accumulated funds could cover all the costs of Kr\u0161ko NPP decommissioning and LILW and SNF disposal beyond 2023. The First Revision of the Programme, after previous approval by the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, was confirmed by the Croatian Parliament on 8\u00a0December\u00a02004 and accepted by the IC at its 7th session, held on 4\u00a0March\u00a02005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with the confirmed cost estimates, the Government of the Republic of Croatia adopted a Regulation defining the annual payments of the Hrvatska elektroprivreda (HEP d.d.) in the amount of EUR\u00a014.25\u00a0million.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px\"><summary><strong>Second Revision of the Kr\u0161ko NPP Decommissioning and RW &amp; SNF Disposal Programme<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preparation of the Second Revision of the Kr\u0161ko NPP Decommissioning and LILW and SNF Disposal Programme started in August\u00a02008.

The text of the Second Revision of the Programme was prepared in June\u00a02010, and revised at the request of the Expert Council, however, no external review was carried out nor was it further referred to the formal adoption procedure in accordance with the Bilateral Agreement.

The drafting of supporting technical studies and documents began after the confirmation of the Terms of references at the 11th session of the IC in November\u00a02017. At the same IC session, the Coordination Committee for monitoring of the Third Revision was appointed, the extension of the life of the Kr\u0161ko NPP from 40 to 60 years, i.e. until 2043, and the construction of the SNF dry storage facility at the NPP site were confirmed, the construction and operation of which represent the operating costs of the power plant, and, due to new circumstances, all activities on the preparation of the Second Revision of the Programme were suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Third Revision of the Disposal Programme was prepared by the Fund for financing the decommissioning of the Kr\u0161ko NPP and ARAO as expert organisations, and the Kr\u0161ko NPP entrusted the Third Revision of the Decommissioning Programme to the company Siempelkamp NIS Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH. For the disposal of LILW, a waste division scenario is being analysed, according to which the Croatian half of LILW is managed in the Republic of Croatia (in accordance with the current <a href=\"https:\/\/narodne-novine.nn.hr\/clanci\/sluzbeni\/2014_10_125_2382.html\">Strategy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/civilna-zastita.gov.hr\/UserDocsImages\/dokumenti\/Radioloska%2520i%2520nuklearna%2520sigurnost\/Nacionalni%2520programi\/Nacionalni%2520program%2520provedbe%2520Strategije%2520zbrinjavanja%2520radioaktivnog%2520otpada%2520iskoristenih%2520izvora%2520i%2520istrosenog%2520nuklearnog%2520goriva.pdf\">National Programme<\/a>), and the Slovenian half of LILW is disposed of in the Republic of Slovenia. For the management of SNF, a joint scenario with an on-site dry storage at the Kr\u0161ko NPP site and a deep geological repository of SNF is envisaged. As part of the Third Revision, the following expert support studies were produced: \u201cThe Analysis of the Potential Division and Takeover of Kr\u0161ko NPP Operational and Decommissioning Radioactive Waste\u201d, \u201cRevised Reference Scenario for Geological Disposal Facility in Hard Rock with Cost Estimation for its Implementation\u201d, \u201cA Revision of the RW Management Concept in Croatia\u201d, and \u201cSetting a Discount Rate for Determining the Cash Flow and Yield for a Long-Term Investment of the Fund\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Third Revision documents were adopted by the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the Croatian Parliament, and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, after a review (organized within the framework of the IAEA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fond-nek.hr\/en\/zbrinjavanje-rao-ing\/organizacije\/medunarodna-suradnja\/iaea\/\">technical assistance projects<\/a> (CRO9012 and SLO9019)) and the presentation of the results at the 13th session of the IC in September\u00a02019. At the meeting, it was decided that a joint solution regarding the disposal of the Kr\u0161ko NPP\u2019s LILW is not possible, and thus each state shall continue to develop and implement their own solutions for the management their halves of the Kr\u0161ko NPP LILW.
