Tritium speciation in nuclear decommissioning materials
Tritium is a by-product of civil nuclear reactors, military nuclear applications, fusion programmes and radiopharmaceutical production. It commonly occurs, though not exclusively, as tritiated water (HTO) or organically-bound tritium (OBT) in the environment but may exist as other forms in …

An investigation into the forecasting of skills in nuclear decommissioning
… explores the nature of skills forecasting in nuclear decommissioning and that which makes skills forecasting information useful. The study adopts a pragmatic approach using an interpretative, qualitative case study research design and draws on aspects of a critical realist approach to uncover, …

Characterization of PVA-Borax-fructose gel for the capture of radioactive wastes generated during nuclear decommissioning activities
… solid, liquid and gaseous waste generated from decommissioning works, characterization of gel properties as well as the properties of the individual constituents of polymer gels has been completed. Characteristics of constituents were investigated over varied concentrations and environments. …

The emergence of sustainable decommissioning of buildings on nuclear licensed sites in the UK
… is concerned with the emergence of sustainable decommissioning practice for buildings situated on nuclear sites within the United Kingdom. It reports on developments within the Civil Nuclear Sector that have enabled sustainable practices to become embedded in current business functions. The …

A study of the dose reduction benefits of electrostatic precipitation in the capture of radionuclide aerosols produced during decommissioning processes
Radionuclide aerosols are produced during nuclear decommissioning processes. These aerosols, if not controlled, can spread and impart a dose to workers and the environment. This work proposes the employment of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) as area filters that capture radionuclide aerosols …

Adaptive robust interaction control for low-cost robotic grasping
… is particularly useful for teleoperation and nuclear decommissioning tasks where there is often no accurate information available about the objects to be handled. This can mean that pre-programming of the gripper is required for each different object and for high numbers of objects this is …

Characterisation of radiation fields with combined fast-neutron and gamma-ray imaging
… systems. Coordination with universities and nuclear facilities, logistics and experimental planning enabled the successful deployment of imagers at the University of Lancaster, University of Manchester, the National Physical Laboratory and the Atominstitut at Vienna University of Technology. …

Study of contaminants in plasmas during decommissioning processes
… components are subjected to plasma-based decommissioning processes are developed. Two parallel plasma systems are developed and investigated. A better-understood argon plasma based system has temperature measurement methods developed, along with an exploration of the resultant behavior …

Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
… The current proposed designs do not document how decommissioning will be addressed. The decontamination activities necessary for these reactor technologies upon their shut-down are not available in the open literature. The intent of the experiments performed in this work is to investigate the …
