About this book
Nuclear Decommissioning Case Studies: Characterization, Waste Management, Reuse and Recycle—A Summary of the Sustainability of Nuclear Decommissioning is the sixth and last volume in Michele Laraia's series which presents a selection of global case studies on different aspects of nuclear decommissioning. This volume focuses on strategies addressing the full range of waste management steps in nuclear decommissioning, including characterization, technologies (decontamination, treatment, conditioning, etc.), and reuse/recycling options. The book presents best practices by analyzing errors and inadequacies, leading the reader to sound decision-making. Volume 6 also includes the author's conclusive judgment on the overall sustainability of nuclear decommissioning. This volume recaps all components and issues of decommissioning reviewed in this and the first five volumes taking account of the holistic approach to decommissioning sustainability. Similar to all volumes, decommissioning experts, including regulators, operators, waste managers, researchers, and academics, will find this sixth and final volume suitable to provide a path forward to ensuring full sustainability to the decommissioning industry.
