Nuclear site redevelopment

摘要

Early planning for the use of a nuclear site after decommissioning can save cleanup money, and benefit the community. For a long time, the final goal for decommissioning was envisaged to be reaching the unrestricted release of the site, including demolition of the remaining structures (greenfield). As these facilities lose their capacity to perform their function, they are often seen only in terms of the decommissioning liability associated with the owner's responsibility to keep the facilities in a safe condition and to eventually safely demolish them and dispose/store the wastes. An alternative hierarchy of decommissioning objectives can provide a more constructive outcome. Experience has shown that most cases of complete decommissioning (resulting in delicencing of the site) have been followed by immediate re-use of the site or buildings in a productive application.
