Study on Scenario Evaluation Methodology for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities using Fuzzy Logic

Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

Prioritization methodology for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities: a study case on the Iraq former nuclear complex.

There are a number of sites in Iraq which have been used for nuclear activities and which contain potentially significant amounts of radioactive waste. The principal nuclear site being Al-Tuwaitha. Many of these sites suffered substantial physical damage during the Gulf Wars and have been subjected to subsequent looting. All require decommissioning in order to ensure both radiological and non-r...

Development of Remote Dismantling Systems for Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

In the Japan Power Demonstration Reactor decommissioning program remote handling technologies were developed that could be successfully applied to dismantling the core components and verified by successful work accomplishment. However, wider applications and intelligence to the work process were required to perform dismantling work efficiently. The dual arm systems and their control mechanism h...
