Disposal of radioactive materials and associated infrastructure

Closure and cleanup of nuclear sites, ensuring the safe handlin of all materials

Nuclear Waste Decommissioning Services refer to the comprehensive set of activities and processes involved in safely dismantling, and decontaminating nuclear facilities and disposing of materials that are no longer in use or have reached the end of their operational life. This service aims to manage the closure and cleanup of nuclear sites, ensuring the safe handling and disposal of radioactive materials and associated infrastructure.

Tradebe Inutec offers comprehensive solutions for diffrent intensity leves of radioactive waste, and for a variety of isotopes, providing safe and compliant processing and disposal options. Our facilities at Winfrith and Fawley are equipped to handle various processes such as washing, recycling, incineration, and measurement techniques ensuring efficient removal and treatment of complex wastes, thus reducing customers’ risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Inutec addresses the challenge of problematic and orphan waste treatment in the nuclear industry by de-classifying them for disposal as low-level waste (LLW). With extensive experience and facilities, we offer innovative technical approaches to process these wastes into compliant forms for disposal, contributing to waste reduction and site optimization while meeting stringent safety standards.
