Nuclear Decommissioning Case Studies: Characterization, Waste Management, Reuse and Recycle: Author’s Statement on the Sustainability of Nuclear Decommissioningis the sixth volume in Michele Laraia’s series which presents a selection of global case studies on different aspects of Nuclear Decommissioning. This volume focuses on a range of technologies for the decontamination, dismantling, spent fuel treatment and recycling of nuclear decommissioning. It presents best practices by analyzing errors and inadequacies, leading the reader to sound decision making. The events covered in this publication range from national and local legislation, to regulatory positions, statements or recommendations, licensing steps, and transition phases.

Decommissioning experts, including regulators, operators, waste managers, researchers and academics will find this book to be suitable supplementary material to Michele Laraia’s reference works on the theory and applications of nuclear decommissioning. Alongside the other case studies books in this series, readers will obtain an understanding of various key case studies-what happened and what we can learn from them, to help supplement, solidify and strengthen their understanding of the topic.
