OPTIMIZATION OF CONTAMINATED MATERIALS AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT WITHIN INDUSTRIAL SITES

The paper discusses the ways of optimization the contaminated materials and low-level short-lived radioactive waste (LL-SL RW) management. Different options are considered for reuse of contaminated materials and LL-SL RW in the projects for remediation of nuclear legacy sites, including conservation of liquid RW storage facilities, construction of engineered safety barriers for non-retrievable RW disposal facilities, and decommissioning of nuclear- and radiation-hazardous facilities. Special attention is given to maintaining the level of safety of contaminated materials and waste management options while reducing the costs associated with such management.

Keywords: optimization, low-level short-lived radioactive waste, contaminated materials, non-retrievable radioactive waste, disposal of radioactive waste, decommissioning, radiation safety.
