Abstract
Nuclear power plants must maintain important safety functions in the event of earthquakes and tsunamis. It is thus vital that strict quality control is implemented in all project stages including planning, construction, operation, and decommissioning to ensure that performance requirements are met. This chapter describes the planning and construction of nuclear power plants, maintenance/management activities during their operation, and decommissioning. The detailed flow of the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant is explained; the flow includes the transportation of spent fuel away from the plant, removal of radioactive substances from equipment inside the reactor and reactor building, and disposal of nuclear waste from decommissioning.
