19. Decommission<strong>in</strong>g<br />

The term ‘decommission<strong>in</strong>g’ refers to the adm<strong>in</strong>istrative and technical actions taken to<br />

allow the removal of some or all of the regulatory requirements from a facility (except for<br />

a repository, for which the term ‘closed’ and not ‘decommissioned’ is used). A facility<br />

means a build<strong>in</strong>g and its associated land and equipment <strong>in</strong> which radioactive material is<br />

produced, processed, used, handled or stored on such a scale that consideration of safety<br />

is required.<br />

Decommission<strong>in</strong>g activities are performed with an optimized approach to achiev<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

progressive and systematic reduction <strong>in</strong> radiological hazards, and are undertaken on the<br />

basis of plann<strong>in</strong>g and assessment to ensure the safety of workers and the public and<br />

protection of the environment, both dur<strong>in</strong>g and after decommission<strong>in</strong>g operations.
