Abstract
A description is given of the decontamination of a chlor alkali plant which became contaminated with mercury during more than 30 years of production. The project comprises the clean-up of the contaminated areas, the dismantling and demolition of equipment and buildings, and the disposal of contaminated materials in a specially designed landfill. Extensive high-level health and safety measures have been applied in order to protect workers and the environment.
