Nuclear Decommissioning

Nuclear decommissioning is the process of safely closing and dismantling a nuclear power plant after it has finished serving its purpose. This involves removing or isolating radioactive materials, decontaminating facilities, and restoring the site for other uses or safe storage. The goal is to protect people and the environment from radiation hazards while managing radioactive waste responsibly. Decommissioning can take several years or decades, requiring careful planning, skilled personnel, and adherence to strict safety regulations to ensure long-term safety.
