the process of removing a building or area from use and decontaminating and disposing of it or placing it on standby
The process of removing a facility from operation This retirement of a facility includes decontamination and/or dismantlement
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 safe and orderly permanent shutdown of utility plants (usually nuclear power plants)
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
