17.04.13 Evolution of Segmentation Tooling for Use in Radiologically Contaminated Facilities

Wednesday, 17 April 2013 06:21

INTRODUCTION

Decommissioning nuclear facilities often requires segmentation of components intomanageable-sized pieces suitable for packaging into available shipping containers. The components may be radiologically clean, contaminated, or activated. Each facility presents unique engineering challenges requiring appropriate segmentation tooling selection.These challenges include oversized components, remote operation requirements, secondary waste minimization and collection, and radiological contamination and/or activation of the components.
