  Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine on October 20 signed a memorandum of understanding to continue decades of partnership between the Department of Energy and NASA and to support the goals of NASA’s Artemis program. These include landing the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024 and establishing sustainable lunar exploration—using nuclear propulsion systems—by the end of the decade to prepare for the first human mission to Mars.

The Decommissioning Handbook

The Decommissioning Handbook

Edited by Thomas S. LaGuardia, A. Taboas, Alan Moghissi

Item ID: 300031|ISBN: 978-0-89448-041-6

2004|1st Edition|410 pages

Description

Sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the U.S. Department of Energy, this authoritative reference in nuclear decommissioning is a comprehensive effort combining policy, engineering, and science. The Decommissioning Handbook provides both a full introduction for those new to the field and a current desk reference on regulations, resources, and experience. Divided into five parts, each part provides thorough coverage as follows:

Part 1—summary of major elements of decommissioning

Part 2—regulatory requirements and related issues as risk analysis and stakeholder participation

Parts 3 and 4—detail the actions necessary to decommission a facility, and

Part 5—describes projects as well as both positive and negative lessons learned.

The printed text is supplemented with a compact disk.
