Assessment of the radiation impact of steam generator dismantling on the workers, public and environment

Prediction of the exposure of workers and the impact on the public and environment is necessary for the planning of the decommissioning tasks. Planning and realisation of the dismantling process have to take into account many factors. This results in the creation of possible dismantling scenarios. Moreover, the input data such as nuclide composition and activity content often vary. In the case of a steam generator, the contamination level can differ even within the same nuclear power plant. The paper describes and applies the methodology used for complex analysis of the steam generator dismantling process in nuclear power plants using the VVER-440 reactor types.
