Technology, safety and costs of decommissioning a reference low-level waste burial ground. Volume 1. Main report, technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6886584
Technology, safety and cost information is presented for the conceptual decommissioning of a reference low-level waste burial grounds, both on a dry and wet site. Two basic approaches to decommissioning, stabilization followed by at least 200 years of surveillance and disinterment, were studied to obtain comparisons between costs and occupational radiation doses, potential dose to the public and other safety impacts.
