In situ metrology for decommissioning nuclear facilities
Annotation in Czech
1. To develop in situ methods for the rapid radionuclide characterisation of the different types of materials present on decommissioning sites. This includes the development of novel measurement techniques that improve the mapping of contamination inside nuclear facilities and the determination of statistically valid and effective sampling methods. 2. To develop and implement traceable measurement systems and methods for waste pre-selection and free release to the environment. This includes the on-site validation of existing waste pre-selection and free release measurement systems and evidence of their traceability to primary standards. 3. To develop a validated waste repository acceptance characterisation system for use on site with very low and intermediate level radioactive waste (LLW and ILW). The system will include gamma scanning and active/passive neutron measurements, and will be sensitive to fissile material. 4. To develop improved measurement systems and methods for monitoring radioactive waste repositories. This includes miniaturised, portable and rapidly deployable gas and water monitoring systems, improved water monitoring systems and systems for monitoring the temperature and strain of inside nuclear waste repositories for the long term. All the systems will be verified with on-site testing. 5. To facilitate the take up of the technology and measurement infrastructure developed in the project by nuclear decommissioning operators, measurement device producers, radiation protection regulators and standards developing organisations. In addition, to establish in collaboration with the end-user community a European network that will co-ordinate a measurement infrastructure for decommissioning nuclear facilities.
