The decommissioning of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear program facilities will generate large volumes of radioactive scrap metal (RSM). A cost-benefit analysis has been conducted to assess the economic implications of recycling this RSM. In addition, its potential impacts on public health, the environment, and radiosensitive industries have also been evaluated in the study.
