D:EEP : Estimating Entrained Products

处理核遗产是昂贵的。在许多核设施中发现的一个普遍挑战是与在许多核场址中发现的核废物储存设施的墙壁内夹带的放射性的管理有关的挑战。废物的正确分类可以显著改善退役的规划过程，减少更高级别分类的废物可以实现显著的长期节省。在Createc（Lead）和Costain成功开展TSB可行性研究的基础上，我们将通过试验硬件配置，研究在真实的环境中部署的方法。该项目最终将设计一个系统，用于测量混凝土结构中污染物的深度，以确保有效地清除和分类材料。这将加快拆除过程，为退役过程带来安全和成本节约效益，并降低英国放射性废物的长期储存成本和最终处置成本。

Dealing with nuclear legacy is expensive. A universal challenge found at many nuclear facilities is that associated with the management of entrained radioactivity within the walls of nuclear waste storage facilities found on many nuclear sites. Correct classification of the waste can significantly improve the planning process for decommissioning and the reduction of waste classified at higher levels can achieve significant long term savings. Building on a successful TSB feasibility study, carried out by Createc (Lead) and Costain that demonstrated a technique to measure the depth of entrained contamination in concrete, we will investigate methods for deployment in real world environments by trialling hardware configurations. This project will culminate in a design for a system to measure the depth of contamination entrained in a concrete structure to ensure that material is removed and classified efficiently. This will speed the removal process producing safety and cost saving benefits for the decommissioning process and reduce the long-term storage costs and final disposal costs for radioactive waste for the UK.
