Radiological Characterisation from a Waste and Materials End-State Perspective
Practices and Experience
Radiological characterisation is a key enabling activity for the planning and implementation
of nuclear facility decommissioning. Effective characterisation allows the extent,
location and nature of contamination to be determined and provides crucial information
for facility dismantling, the management of material and waste arisings, the protection
of workers, the public and the environment, and associated cost estimations.
This report will be useful for characterisation practitioners who carry out tactical
planning, preparation, optimisation and implementation of characterisation to support
the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and the management of associated materials
and waste. It compiles recent experience from NEA member countries in radiological
characterisation, including from international experts, international case studies,
an international conference, and international standards and guidance. Using this
comprehensive evidence base, the report identifies relevant good practice and provides
practical advice covering all stages of the characterisation process.
