ABSTRACT
”Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D)” is the act of decontamination and decommissioning a facility for further action reuse, demolition, or another purpose. Decontamination stabilizes the area by taking a material and removing it from an unwanted place and placing in a more controlled situation. Decommissioning is the act of transitioning an area, facility, or site out of its current or previous operations or mission and placing it into a new state. Decontamination and decommissioning is sometimes identified as decommissioning and decontamination. Disposal of waste in the radioactive world is a unique process in itself. Remember, D and D is the act of making contaminated material more unstable prior to placing it in a wanted place in a final stable condition. The French have a much easier time relating their field work to different jobs with changing conditions because their approaches center on the technology available and it is simply the remote machines at risk versus the people.
