Material, building, and site clearance
Clearance refers to the releasing of radioactive materials and movable objects, buildings, ground areas, facilities, or parts of facilities (material, building, and site clearance) from the regulatory scope of the atomic energy and radiation protection legislation. The aim is to comply with legal limits to protect the population using suitable measurement technology. Safetec provides comprehensive support for nuclear facilities throughout the entire clearance procedure – from initial dismantling projects through to greenfield development.
