Incentives and Prerequisites for Modernizing NPP Radwaste Management

Аннотация

It is shown analytically that the introduction of the law “On the Management of Radioactive Waste” and the start of the active phase of the decommissioning of NPP have changed goal-setting in the waste management system and actualized the task of modernizing the system. The necessary conditions for improving the technological platform for managing radioactive waste at NPP (R&D status, experience in using in practice the advances made in science, commercial accessibility of the required materials and technical means) have mostly been formulated. Modernization of the waste management system, as a rule, does not require radical revisions of the design solutions or high material costs.
