Abstract
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.
