Abstract
This chapter focuses on radioactive and other waste generated from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The chapter first reviews the whole process of decommissioning from a facility’s permanent shutdown to site release, and strategic options. The chapter then highlights the inventory of decommissioning waste and how it can be minimized at the design stage and during operation. Typical techniques used in decommissioning are then presented with details of how they affect the generation and management of waste. Environmental remediation is illustrated as an important component of decommissioning. Trends, sources of additional information and a list of references complete the chapter.
