Description

Decommissioning of a research reactor is always a challenge for any organization in charge. Planning, an appropriate chooses of strategy and technology, equipment acquisition and waste management are key elements in successfully accomplishing of the decommissioning activities. Optimization of the radioactive waste management by appropriate segregation of the radioactive materials, decontamination, reducing the size, and correct packing are a few methods handy available for every organization who is developing decommissioning operations on its own site. This paper will present some work with regard to radioactive waste management optimization performed in IFIN-HH during decommissioning of its WWR-S research reactor.
