Nuclear Decommissioning Case Studies: Characterization, Waste Management, Reuse and Recycle (1st Edition) by Michele Laraia offers a practical, real-world compass for professionals navigating the complex landscape of nuclear site closure. Drawing on international projects and regulatory contexts, this book delivers clear, actionable insights into characterization techniques, waste management strategies, and opportunities for reuse and recycling of materials.

Explore richly detailed case studies from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region that illuminate best practices in radiological assessment, site remediation, waste classification, transport and long-term disposal planning. Laraia breaks down technical challenges—soil and structure characterization, dose assessment, decontamination methods—and pairs them with regulatory frameworks and cost-effective decision-making tools suited to public agencies, contractors and environmental consultants.

This guide emphasizes sustainable outcomes: minimizing waste volumes, maximizing material recovery, and meeting environmental compliance while protecting communities and ecosystems. Practical checklists, comparative analyses and lessons learned make it an indispensable reference for project managers, nuclear engineers, policy makers and students preparing for work in decommissioning across the UK, EU, USA and beyond.

Whether you’re planning a small research reactor dismantling or a large commercial site closure, this book helps you translate complex theory into on-the-ground solutions. Concise, authoritative and forward-looking, Nuclear Decommissioning Case Studies equips readers to deliver safe, compliant and cost-conscious decommissioning programs.
