Decision Analysis Science Modeling for Application and Fielding Selection Applied211 to Equipment Dismantlement Technologies

摘要

The dismantlement of radioactively contaminated process equipment is a major211u001econcern during the D and D process. As buildings undergo the D and D process, 211u001emetallic equipment contaminated with radionuclides such as uranium and plutonium 211u001emust be dismantled before final disposal. The primary objective for equipment 211u001edismantlement is to reduce the potential for personnel and environmental exposure 211u001eto contaminants during the decommissioning of the nuclear facility. The selection 211u001eof the appropriate technologies to meet the dismantlement objectives for a given 211u001esite is a difficult process in the absence of comprehensive and comparable data. 211u001eChoosing the wrong technology could result in increased exposure of personnel to 211u001econtaminants and an increase in D and D project costs. Innovative technologies 211u001eare being developed with the goal of providing safer and more cost-effective 211u001ealternatives that generate less secondary waste, thereby decreasing the operating 211u001ecosts for dismantlement. During the development and implementation process, 211u001eperformance indicators for the success of these technologies must be reviewed to 211u001eensure that these aims are being met. This project provides a mechanism for the 211u001eassessment of innovative and commercially available nuclear and non-nuclear 211u001etechnologies for equipment dismantlement.
