decommissioning process

Decommissioning is the process of safely shutting down and dismantling a facility, such as a power plant or industrial site, after it has reached the end of its operational life. This involves removing hazardous materials, decontaminating equipment, and ensuring the site no longer poses environmental or safety risks. The goal is to responsibly manage waste, restore the area, and often repurpose the land for other uses. It’s a careful, planned process that prioritizes safety, environmental protection, and compliance with regulations throughout each stage.
