This NEA Policy Brief provides a concise outline of the current outlook for final disposal of radioactive waste in NEA member countries. It describes the challenges, context, stakeholders and potenti...

Large quantities of materials arising from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are non-radioactive per se. An additional significant share of materials is of very low-level or low-level radioac...

Experience from decommissioning projects suggests that the decommissioning of nuclear power plants could be made easier if this aspect received greater consideration at the design stage and during op...

Une des préoccupations majeures exprimée dans la production d'éléctricité d'origine nucléaire est que le démantèlement (déconstruction à un niveau donné) d'installations en fine de vie représente un ...

Considerable international experience gained over the last 20 years demonstrates that nuclear facilities can be safely dismantled and decommissioned once a decision is made to cease operations and pe...

The removal of fuel from a permanently shutdown nuclear facility eliminates the major source of radiological hazard, a nuclear criticality. Combined with the cessation of operations at high temperatu...

L’enlèvement des matières irradiées et plus particulièrement du combustible à l'issue de l'arrêt définitif d'une installation élimine la source principale de risque radiologique, le risque de critici...

The radiological concept of clearance can be defined as the release of radioactive materials or buildings from any further regulatory control applied for radiological protection purposes by the compe...

En radioprotection, on entend par « libération » la décision prise par l'autorité compétente de lever tous les contrôles réglementaires appliqués jusqu'alors aux matériaux et bâtiments radioactifs. C...

Ce rapport de synthèse sur le Financement du démantèlement : éthique, mise en œuvre, incertitudes a été rédigé en s’appuyant sur la littérature récente et sur les informations présentées lors des réu...

The key issue in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities is the progressive removal of hazards, by stepwise decontamination and dismantling activities that have to be carried out safely and within ...

Il presente rapporto, avente finalità di ampia divulgazione, contiene una sintetica panoramica delle problematiche associate alla disattivazione e allo smantellamento delle intallazioni nucleari ne P...

One concern commonly expressed about electricity production from nuclear power is that the decommissioning (i.e.dismantling to a desirable end state) of the redundant radioactive facilities presents ...

Una delle preoccupazioni più diffuse in tema di produzione di energia elettrica da fonte nucleare è che la disattivazione degli impianti nucleari - ovvero il loro smantellamento fino allo stato final...

Die internationalen Erfahrungen der vergangenen 20 Jahre zeigen, dass kerntechnische Anlagen sicher abgebaut und stillgelegt werden können, nachdem die Entscheidung getroffen wurde, den Betrieb zu be...

La notevole esperienza internazionale acquisita negli ultimi venti anni dimostra che gli impianti nucleari possono essere disattivati e smantellati (decommissioning) in sicurezza alla fine del loro e...
