Use of multiscale particle simulations in the design of nuclear plant decommissioning

The application of a digital modeling method that can faithfully take account of 3D shape and inherent physical and chemical properties of each particulate component provides an essential tool in decommissioning design. We illustrate the utility of the method and its ability to take data at plant scale (m-scale) and then deduce behaviours at sub millimetre scale in the packed containers.
