decommissioning reactors

Decommissioning reactors involves safely shutting down a nuclear power plant after it has ceased operations. This process includes removing nuclear fuel, dismantling equipment, and cleaning up radioactive materials to ensure the site no longer poses health or environmental risks. It is a careful, regulated procedure designed to protect workers, the public, and the environment. Once completed, the site can be repurposed or released for other uses, with ongoing monitoring to ensure safety. Decommissioning is essential for managing the long-term safety of nuclear facilities once they are no longer in use.
