Abstract
Final technology selection in any decontamination and dismantling (D&D) program is dependent on the following prerequisites:
-
a thorough radiation survey of all work areas and piping and equipment internals and external surfaces;
-
a thorough assessment of the activated material inventory by radionuclide and the distribution of that inventory in equipment and structures;
-
a detailed definition of the end product goal of the D&D program; and
-
a comparative cost estimate of different approaches to achieve that goal.
