Abstract
This technical report shows the situation of the dismantling of the main equipment in the radiation-controlled area of a uranium refining and conversion plant. The dismantling was carried out at the beginning of the uranium refining and conversion plant decommissioning project. We started the dismantling in April 2008 and finished it in 29 September 2011. The dismantled waste and equipment were stored in 200 small drums. All the contaminated devices were sealed and kept in this stage. The radioactivity inventory of the uranium refining and conversion plant did not change in this stage. However, the risk of contamination due to the deterioration of this facility with time became remarkably small. Moreover, we were able to get many information and experience about dismantling. Then, we began decommissioning. We were in a new stage from April 2012. We are going to dismantle or tightly close the fluidization media storage underground tank, the neutralization and precipitation system of a waste fluid with fluorine, and the uranium and ventilation system in about three years from now on.
