Waste Management Symposia 2013


Session 087 - Characterization & Survey for Decommissioning and Waste Management
This panel focused on updates of characterization & survey protocols, methods, approaches and technical developments in support of decommissioning and waste management. Discussions touched on methods, protocols and approaches for both surface and subsurface surveys, data quality objectives, models and codes for both surface and subsurface surveys and characterization as well as the latest developments in 3D modeling and visualization for characterizing radiological contamination. Panelists included: Andrew Szilagyi, US DOE; Karen Kim, EPRI; Robert Stewart, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Arne Larsson, Studsvik (Sweden); and Yvon Desnoyers, Geovariances (France).
