Nuclear Decommissioning: Planning, Execution and International Experience (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

Michele (Mike) Laraia

4.9/5 (30841 ratings)

Description:Over the course of their operational life, a variety of components in both nuclear power plants and other civilian nuclear facilities will become contaminated by irradiation from the radioactive sources present. Once these power plants or facilities have come to the end of their operational lifetime, the need to decommission and decontaminate them arises. Different strategies can be employed for decommissioning and decontaminating radioactive sites, based on the evaluation of particular hazards and their attendant risks, as well as on the analysis of costs of clean-up and closure either at the point of operational shutdown, or perhaps some time later than this to allow radioactivity levels to drop in certain components. Given the potential radiological health and environmental risks, it is crucial for clear processes and best practices to be applied in decommissioning and decontaminating such sites. This book critically reviews the decommissioning and decontamination processes and technologies available for rehabilitating sites used for nuclear power generation and civilian nuclear facilities. The initial section focuses on the fundamental issues and best practices for decommissioning radioactive facilities and nuclear power plants, from safety regulations and financing through to project management routes. The book’s coverage is further developed with chapters covering particular decommissioning procedures and technology, from cutting and dismantling to radioactive waste management, and on to site rehabilitation and cleanup processes Finally, decommissioning and decontamination case studies are considered for particular applications such as nuclear power plants, research reactors and medical facilities.
