Lessons Learned from the NASA Plum Brook Reactor Facility Decommissioning

摘要

1. The licensee must have privity of contract with the decommissioning contractor.rn2. Formal roles and responsibilities should be established right up front.rn3. Have strong and open 2-way communication within the project.rn4. Have a proactive, open public outreach effort that puts deposits in the 'trust bank'.rn5. Characterize, characterize, characterize.rn6. If you discharged offsite, even legally, expect to at least investigate.rn7. If a plant has been in safe storage for more than a few years special efforts must be planned for and made in the areas of equipment, procedures, and retirees.rn8. Decommissioning planning should focus on waste stream types, volumes, and available disposal paths and costs.rn9. Don't wait until the 'hard part' is done to plan the end of the project in detail - that last 10% will rapidly grow to eat your reserves.rn10. It can be a great job-have fun!
