Decommission represents a particular state of the CDM device/object When an object/device is in this state, the Controller knows that it may or may not be physically present When it is in this state, the Controller will not attempt to communicate with the device
– In terms of this document, this term means to change a road so that it no longer functions as a road or trail
a route is considered decommissioned when signage for that route is removed from the roadway Decommissioning normally occurs when a route is taken from state control and given to a local entity (city or county) to maintain
to remove a facility or site safely from service and reduce residual radioactivity to a level that permits--
When something such as a nuclear reactor or a large machine is decommissioned, it is taken to pieces because it is no longer going to be used. HMS Warspite was decommissioned as part of defence cuts. to stop using a ship, weapon, or nuclear reactor and to take it to pieces
To remove (as a facility) safely from service and reduce residual radioactivity [see radioactivity definition] to a level that permits release of the property for unrestricted use and termination of license (10CFR50 2) Back to Top
The process whereby a power station, at the end of its economic life, is taken permanently out of service and its site made available for other purposes In the case of a nuclear station this comprises 3 different states of clearance Immediately after the final closure, radioactive material such as nuclear fuel and operational waste is removed; the buildings surrounding the reactor shield are dismantled; and finally the reactor itself is dismantled
The process of removing from service a facility in which nuclear materials are handled It usually involves decontaminating the facility so that it may be dismantled or dedicated to other purposes
the process for safely removing a licensed property from service and removing radioactive contamination to a level that permits the termination of the radioactive materials license and the safe release of the property for unrestricted future re-use
Removal of a facility (e g , reactor) from service, also the subsequent actions of safe storage, dismantling and and making the site available for unrestricted use
- Demolition, dismantling, removal, obliteration, or disposal of a deteriorated or otherwise unneeded asset or component, including necessary cleanup work This action eliminates the deferred maintenance needs for the fixed asset Portions of an asset or component may remain if they do not cause problems or require maintenance
The removal of a nuclear facility from service and the reduction of residual radioactivity to a level that permits the release of the property for unrestricted use and termination of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license
Removal of a spacecraft from active status; usually caused by exhaustion of critical resource, degradation of critical systems, or loss of funding; usually accompanied by deorbiting
Removal of a facility (eg reactor) from service, also the subsequent actions of safe storage, dismantling and making the site available for unrestricted use
All the administrative and technical procedures that make it possible to remove a nuclear facility from the list of classified facilities The administrative procedures include drawing up decommissioning plans and obtaining the required permits and certificates for the clearance of the facilities and of the site The technical procedures include decontamination, dismantling and management of the radioactive waste The purpose of decommissioning is not to demolish the buildings, but rather to clear them from the obligations and controls associated with their particular class
