Nuclear Facility Decommissioning

Nuclear facility decommissioning is the process of safely shutting down a nuclear plant after it has been used, and removing or safely managing its radioactive materials. This involves thorough cleanup, decontamination, dismantling of equipment, and ensuring no harmful radiation remains. The goal is to protect public health and the environment, making the site safe for future use or land reuse. Decommissioning is carefully planned and executed over several years, following strict safety regulations and standards to prevent any radiation risks during and after the process.
