Decommissioning Planning and Characterisation Our people are experts in every stage of the decommissioning lifecycle. Our experience, together with a detailed understanding of the practical challenges encountered during nuclear decommissioning and the variety of different wastes that can be generated, enables us to underpin and deliver efficient and achievable decommissioning and waste disposal strategies. We have worked on the vast majority of the UK’s nuclear establishments and fully understand the radiological and conventional safety challenges, ensuring lessons are learned and best practice is embedded into our implementable solutions. Pragmatic use of the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) process supports appropriate waste characterisation and we are leaders in preparing submissions to support disposability assessments for all waste types, including the consignment of lower activity waste and to support the management of higher activity waste. We engage our in-house operatives and health physics personnel to gather characterisation data and collect samples to underpin and validate our solutions. Similarly, we utilise our in-house engineering capability to support decommissioning planning and develop plant and equipment to support decommissioning. We also work with our customers to ensure robust post-operational clean-out (POCO) is undertaken to optimise future waste management and decommissioning activities, as well as implementing POCO and appropriate pre-works to facilitate an optimal decommissioning approach.
