Development of Computer Systems for Planning and Management of Reactor Decommissioning. Estimation of Project Management Data on Dismantling Tokai Power Station.

Is there only one way of project management theorizing, or are there multiple sector-specific project management domains?

“…Articles emphasized systematic and controlled PM for to-the-plan execution in projects where investors were seeking certainty and controllability from PM, with the focus on controlling projects and their impacts on the society. Pow sector articles research content related extensively to decommissioning of old nuclear facilities (Yanagihara et al, 2001a;Yanagihara et al, 2001b;Yanagihara, 1993;Krause, 2008). This content is strongly affected by the post-Chernobyl era, where the focus has been on deconstruction of nuclear energy systems rather than new systems construction.…”

“…This content is strongly affected by the post-Chernobyl era, where the focus has been on deconstruction of nuclear energy systems rather than new systems construction. Importance of effective PM is emphasized for decommissioning projects (critical for safety, environmental and other societal reasons) in articles including empirical content from Japanese, German, and Scottish projects (Yanagihara et al , 2001b; Krause, 2008; Welsh, 2001). However, many of the articles also included content of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project which is a major international research project on nuclear fusion technology (Chiocchio et al , 2007).…”
