Once a nuclear installation has reached the end of its safe and
economical operational lifetime, the need for its decommissioning
arises. Different strategies can be employed for nuclear
decommissioning, based on the evaluation of particular hazards and
their attendant risks, as well as on the analysis of costs of
clean-up and waste management. This allows for decommissioning
either soon after permanent shutdown, or perhaps a long time later,
the latter course allowing for radioactivity levels to drop in any
activated or contaminated components. It is crucial for clear
processes and best practices to be applied in decommissioning such
installations and sites, particular where any significant health
and environmental risks exist.
This book critically reviews the nuclear decommissioning processes
and technologies applicable to nuclear power plants and other
civilian nuclear facilities. Part one focuses on the fundamental
planning issues in starting a nuclear decommissioning process, from
principles and safety regulations, to financing and project
management. Part two covers the execution phase of nuclear
decommissioning projects, detailing processes and technologies such
as dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive waste management,
as well as environmental remediation, site clearance and reuse.
Finally, part three details international experience in the
decommissioning of nuclear applications, including the main nuclear
reactor types and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, as well as small
nuclear facilities and legacy nuclear waste sites.
