It'll lead to work for 7 yrs or so at the site.
Decommissioning is the new paradigm - everyone was all on board the nuclear renaissance just a few years ago - well, it turned into a decommissioning renaissance. 
I've done this before, and it's not bad. Long term work (no diem), pretty consistent hours, time for a life.
This is on the table for VY also - I hope it goes thru here - it'll give me a few more years of low stress work until retirement.

Interesting but as far as "decommissioning" experience, not so much. Albeit working as a sub doing vessel seg and the like, there is history in that area. I will be watching to see how it all plays out.
