Concluding reports that summarized the work undertaken under the aegis of the co-ordinated research programme are collected in this Technical Document
Decontamination of nuclear facilities is a subject of increasing importance as the nuclear community considers the issues related to the decommissioning of surplus or obsolete facilities and making modifications to operational facilities, or conducts the necessary inspections and maintenance to permit continued efficient and safe operation of existing facilities. The IAEA has responded to the needs of its Member States in this area by facilitating the dissemination and exchange of current technology and by supporting programmes which conduct research and development aimed at furthering the related technologies.
