Waste Management in Decommissioning

Waste management is an integrated part of a decommissioning project and one of the main drivers in cost efficient decommissioning. Bottlenecks in waste management can lead to long delays in the project or expensive waste reprocessing. Our streamlined processes can be utilised by our customers to avoid the challenges.

Waste management planning and optimisation

Utilise our holistic planning and optimisation of the whole lifecycle of waste, from origin to final disposal, to achieve lower total decommissioning cost.

Liquid waste treatment

Our NURES® liquid waste treatment solutions enable you to purify the liquids from operational and decommissioning phases and bind all of the radioactivity into solid filters, ready for final disposal.
