Decommissioning

Decommissioning refers to the process of safely closing down and dismantling facilities, equipment, or systems that are no longer in use, such as power plants or military bases. This involves removing hazardous materials, securing any environmental risks, and properly disposing of or recycling materials. The aim is to minimize safety hazards and environmental impact while ensuring compliance with legal regulations. Decommissioning is a critical step in managing resources responsibly and often includes thorough planning and oversight to ensure that all aspects of the shutdown are handled correctly and safely.
