Abstract
Decommissioning requires that nuclear facilities permanently withdrawn from operational service be put into a safe condition to protect man and the environment, the ideal ultimate objective being complete removal and disposal. The UKAEA in conjunction with other organizations has, for the past five years, been examining the development issues and practical aspects of dealing with nuclear facilities no longer required in the UK. The objective is to include all types of nuclear installations but attention has been directed initially to nuclear power stations. Close liaison has been maintained with the Generating Boards.
