Development of a Large Container Cast of Low Level Radioactive Steel

High waste storage and disposal costs prevailing in Europe are an incentive to decontaminate thoroughly redundant components for metal recycling, in order to reduce the radioactive waste volume . Experience has shown that the objective of a substantial reduction of the overall waste volume may be missed in practice, as a result of large amounts of secondary waste. It is important, therefore, to have containers which allow the transport and/or storage of larger components and/or are made by using low-level radioactive steel originating from nuclear installations.
