| Short description: |
This report compiles and makes available some of the experience and
knowledge acquired in recent years from facilities that have
completed a D&D process. It provides guidance on D&D to
regulators, the public, project managers, cleanup contractors,
technology providers, and others with an interest or a need for
information about this topic. The document introduces D&D by
describing the general D&D processes, examining the types of
facilities undergoing D&D, and introducing regulatory
authorities typically applicable to D&D activities. Subsequent
sections further address major elements of the D&D undertaking -
the regulatory framework (discussing the decommissioning
requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the
Environmental Protection Agency, and DOE), costs, technologies,
and health and safety. The document summarizes case studies of
select closure sites, where some of the potential problems and
decisions involved in the D&D process are explored. In addition,
stakeholder perspectives on the D&D process are included. The
document concludes by providing a distillation of lessons
learned and factors for success of D&D process,
