Decommissioning Considerations for Layout Design of Nuclear Buildings

Decommissioning for nuclear power plant is complex project, which is needed to be taken into account during the early phase of design stage. Many researches and practices have already done for nuclear decommissioning activities. The decommissioning chapter is defined in preliminary safety analysis report for new build nuclear project, which needs to describe the design and management activities. According to the preliminary research for decommissioning requirement and scheme, many activities are direct related to layout design of nuclear buildings. In this paper, the decommissioning factors for layout design of nuclear buildings are summarized, which can be used as reference and supply some practices for other project.
