THE WAY FOR A BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE MATERIAL FLOW GENERATED BY A DISMANTLING: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A QA SYSTEM IN THE BR3 PWR DISMANTLING PROJECT

摘要

When dismantling a nuclear installation, a complex material flow is generated due to therngreat variety of materials and their possible destination. Moreover, a small part of the material isrncontaminated and activated implying severe safety measures.rnThe dismantler has to meet different requirements. Due to the nuclear nature of the materials,rnseveral organisms request their traceability and, when the decontaminated material is going to bernrecycled, the requirements are even much severe.rnTo meet these requirements, it is necessary to collect all relevant information during therndismantling. To collect this information in a structured way, a QA system can be implemented.rnIn the case of the BR3 project, such a QA system was started in the beginning of 1998,rnbased on the ISO9002 norm. This implies that all operations have to be written down inrnprocedures. These procedures guarantee that the correct information is collected and that thernoperations are carried out in the same way, having thus an automatic control.rnAlthough the system isn't completely realized, this paper describes the QA system itselfrnas well as the first experiences.
