Case Studies and Waste Management in Environmental Remediation
Oral
In common with any industrial restoration project, decommissioning nuclear sites involves both removing the redundant plant and buildings and remediating the land. If contamination is present in buildings and plant it is likely to be necessary to treat it as radioactive waste for disposal. Similarly, contaminated material in the ground can be excavated for disposal. However, this can be...

Case Studies and Waste Management in Environmental Remediation
Oral
This paper presents an overview of accidental releases of fission, fusion reactors and cycle installations, (i.e. Iodine alone, Iodine and cesium, iodine plus cesium and short lived airborne nuclides for fission, tritium for fusion and plutonium 239 for fuel installation), and their consequences on the surface deposits management. It addresses the question of dose levels, the effect of some...

Case Studies and Waste Management in Environmental Remediation
Oral
Numerous countries around the world are currently managing various types of sites contaminated with radioactive materials derived from past nuclear activities and accidents. Many of these sites consist of a shallow excavation in the ground (with or without engineered containment) into which radioactive waste materials were placed - these are sometimes referred to as “legacy trench sites”. ...

Case Studies and Waste Management in Environmental Remediation
Oral
In 2014, during the preparation of a dismantling, contamination in subsurface soil around a waste liquid effluent channel was discovered. This was a stark reminder of the necessity to define a clear policy for all on–site interventions. Presently, the SCK•CEN site is operational and its final end state is not defined. Nevertheless, the protection of the environment (with special attention to...
