M. Laraia (Author), International Atomic Energy Agency (Publisher)
Taking into consideration the work done to date on research reactor decommissioning, it is timely to provide a basis for ongoing and intended activities in this field. An evaluation of the state of the art, trends and current issues is desirable. This report reviews, from a historical perspective, decommissioning projects completed in recent years or under way, and assesses progress as well as open and new issues. It is meant to facilitate timely, safe and efficient completion of decommissioning projects for research reactors by highlighting technologies and planning or management methodologies, and suggesting ways to overcome expected issues. The report includes a CD-ROM providing details of several hundred research reactor decommissioning projects.--Publisher's description
