Sellafield is the UK facility for Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing and Waste Management. It is a compact coastal site with an area of around 3 km2. It is currently operational and is expected to remain licensed until 2120.
Radioactive material has entered the sub-surface environment during operations following accidental leaks. This material is currently under active risk management prior to a...

The U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) is responsible for remediation of environmental contamination and long-term stewardship of sites associated with the legacy of nuclear weapons production during the Cold War in the United States. Protection of human health and the environment will be required for hundreds or even thousands of years at many legacy sites. USDOE continually evaluates and...

For decision making in choosing remediation strategies on Uranium legacy sites it is vitally important to know whether the radioactive properties of the tailing material are stabile in changing environment. This report presents the results of investigation carried out on Centralny Yar (CY) tailing, one of the oldest tailings of the Pridneprovsky Chemical Plant (PChP), Dniprodzergynsk, Ukraine,...

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted gamma spectrometer, Mobile Gamma Spectrometer (MGS), that is a practical solution for surface soil monitoring in rough, desert terrain is described. Surface soil scanning is applicable to land characterization, monitoring and clearance, all potential end-points of environmental remediation. The MGS is constructed, almost entirely, from proven...

Oral Poster
The effluent treatment facility on the decommissioned nuclear power plant of Brennilis, France, is currently being dismantled. Historically, various incidents involving effluent drum spills caused radiological contamination in the building platform and the underlying soil.
The French Nuclear Safety Authority’s doctrine for radioactively contaminated land is a reference approach which involves...

Since 1961 FSUE RADON makes its activity in the field of Radwaste management, radiation safety and rehabilitation of environment. The first transportation of Radwaste to the site was implemented on January, 27, 1961. Now FSUE RADON serves the central part of Russian Federation and nearest regions. The fields of RADON's activity are the following:
Radiation-Ecological Monitoring,

This paper describes the development of a multicriteria tool to support decision making process after a nuclear accident that leads to the contamination of urban areas. The methodology adopted is discussed and the result is a computer program that assess doses to residents and to remediation workers as a function of time, the effect of remediation procedures on the doses to public and...

Need for proper characterisation
Dismantling and decommissioning of nuclear facilities or remediation of contaminated sites are industrial projects with huge challenges. Precise knowledge of the contamination state is required. Radiological evaluations have multiple objectives to be considered: determination of average activity levels, to allow the categorization of surfaces or volumes...

Oral Poster
During the operation and the decommissioning of a nuclear site the operator must assure the protection of the workers and the environment. It must furthermore identify and classify the various wastes, while optimizing the costs. At all stages of the decommissioning radiological measurements are performed to determine the initial situation, to monitor the demolition and clean-up, and to verify...
