New OECD/NEA publication on R&D and Innovation Needs for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities

New OECD/NEA publication on R&D and Innovation Needs for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities 

Michael Siemann Head of Division for Radiological Protection and Radioactive Waste Management at OECD Nuclear Energy Agency 

This report discusses decommissioning activities and challenges that could benefit from R&D and summarises applicable emergent technologies and research efforts to build a base of knowledge regarding the status of decommissioning technology and R&D. This base knowledge can be used to obtain consensus on future R&D that is worth funding. It can also assist in deciding how to collaborate and optimise the limited pool of financial resources available among NEA member countries for nuclear decommissioning R&D.
