Decommissioning industrial uranium-graphite reactors

The basic problems in decommissioning industrial uranium-graphite reactors are analyzed, taking account of experience in decommissioning the I-1 and EI-2 reactors at the Siberian Chemical Combine. On the basis of the analysis, decommissioning with delayed dismantling of the reactor structures is rec...
