Technical and Technological Aspects of Implementing Decommissioning Programmes
Oral
Radiological characterisation plays an important role in the process of decommissioning shut-down nuclear facilities in order to ensure protection of the environment and radiation safety. It is a key element for planning, controlling and optimising the decommissioning and dismantling including the residual materials and waste management.
At all stages of a decommissioning programme or...

Technical and Technological Aspects of Implementing Decommissioning Programmes
Oral
After having operated numerous nuclear facilities since the 1950s, the CEA (French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission) must now manage the dismantling of those which have reached the end of their lifetime. These high priority actions have led to the creation of an R&D dismantling division which aims at providing innovative tools, including intervention scenario simulation. Simulation...

Oral
Extensive work on the decommissioning of own research facilities are conducted in A.A.Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM). Since 1946 these facilities used for Plutonium, Uranium and other radionuclide chemistry, nuclear fuel research and reprocessing, radioactive waste and other technologies. Amount of contaminated structures and unused old equipment, including unsorted...

Technical and Technological Aspects of Implementing Decommissioning Programmes
Oral
We will present robot technologies for nuclear decommissioning developed by IRID (International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, JAPAN).
In the lead-up to retrieving fuel debris from Units 1-3 at Fukushima Daiichi, various tasks are planned to take place inside the reactor buildings. In order to perform these tasks smoothly, improving the working environment is essential. An...
