Technology, Safety and Costs of Decommissioning Reference Nuclear Research and Test Reactors. Sensitivity of Decommissioning Radiation Exposure and Costs to Selected Parameters..

摘要

Additional analyses of decommissioning at the reference research and test (R&T) reactors and analyses of five recent reactor decommissionings are made that examine some parameters not covered in the initial study report (NUREG/CR-1756). The parameters examined for decommissioning are: (1) the effect on costs and radiation exposure of plant size and/or type; (2) the effects on costs of increasing disposal charges and of unavailability of waste disposal capacity at licensed waste disposal facilities; and (3) the costs of and the available alternatives for the disposal of nuclear R&T reactor fuel assemblies.
