MINIMIZATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES IN DECOMMISSIONING OF NEW GENERATION NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Methods for the Minimization of Radioactive Waste from Decontamination and Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities METHODS FOR THE MINIMIZATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE FROM DECONTAMINATION AND DECOMMISSIONING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES

New Generation Nuclear Power Plants

− The radioactivity measurement techniques being developed within the EMRP “MetroFission” Joint Research Project (JRP) [1], are aimed at performing on-site activity measurements, by the development of a portable Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio (TDCR) system along with associated digital electronics. The TDCR standardisation method for beta-emitting radionuclides (e.g. H and Pu) produces an e...

Decommissioning of Italian Nuclear Power Plants. Experience and Future Plans

This paper is to illustrate the experience and future plans for decommissioning Italian NPPs, and the new organization, set to manage the whole decommissioning problem. Italian NPPs were shut down in the 1980s, and “deferred decommissioning (SAFSTOR)” was the selected decommissioning strategy, due to the lack of a repository for the disposal of radioactive waste. In 1999 the liberalization of t...

Decommissioning Costs of Wwer-440 Nuclear Power Plants

Fortum Power and Heat Ltd. has revised the decommissioning plan for the Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant (Loviisa1 and Loviisa 2) at the end of the year 1998 [4-1]. The plan is based on immediate dismantlement after shutdownof the power plant. Experienced plant personnel will still be available to lead the decommissioning work. Onlythe radioactive plant systems, components and structures...
