The analysis of 108mAg, 166mHo and 94Nb in decommissioning waste

Contaminated waste consisting of various materials results from the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Disposal of Decommissioning Waste requires as much measurement data for the radionuclides contained within the waste as possible. Data that are obtained is then used to create an inventory of the radionuclides in the various types of wastes. This research investigates a route to obtaining additional measurement data for such inventories. The importance of these inventories is to provide as much information as possible so that a reliable risk assessment can be performed on the waste samples and the proposed method of disposal.
