Experience in the Management of Radioactively Contaminated Soil During the Decommissioning of Nuclear Legacy Facilities

Abstract

The article considers a wide range of problems associated with the management of radioactively contaminated soils (RCS). It presents and analyzes the main research milestones, as well as modern approaches, in particular, those addressing the nuclear legacy decommissioning stage involving the cleanup of relevant nuclear sites. The paper describes the subject area dealing with RCS. It presents the developed requirements for the implementation of a process flowchart providing RCS management considering an "ideal" facility. The paper also considers the recommendations on the development of a high-performance operational flowchart.
