Nuclear Decommissioning in the UK and Beyond
With Uk nuclear new build on the horizon we must remain focused on the task of safely decommissioning our first generation - Magnox - nuclear reactors that have been providing electricity since 1956. This talk explores global experience to date in decommissioning civil nuclear power reactors and addresses some specific challenges faced in the UK.
