Safety standards Ser. : Safety Requirements

This publication examines the basic safety requirements that must be satisfied during the planning and implementation of decommissioning of facilities using radioactive material, including nuclear power plants, research reactors, fuel cycle facilities, manufacturing plants, medical facilities, research and university laboratories. The provisions cover requirements for the period after the permanent planned shutdown of a facility at the end of its operational lifetime, as well as being applicable to decommissioning after an abnormal event that has resulted in serious damage to or the contamination of a building, or simply after a premature shutdown.
