  • Patent number: 11862355
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of removing a radioactive structure from a nuclear power plant. The method includes flattening at least a portion of an outer surface of a drilling portion of a wall of a nuclear reactor vessel when the portion of the outer surface is uneven, wherein the radioactive structure is buried in the wall and the drilling portion is adjacent to the radioactive structure, installing a drilling device in the flattened drilling portion and performing a drilling operation, extracting the radioactive structure from the wall, and cutting the extracted radioactive structure and storing pieces of the cut radioactive structure in a shielding container.

  • Publication number: 20200242558
    Abstract: There is provided a method for decommissioning plan of nuclear facility includes receiving a plurality of decommissioning related information data, and determining whether error data is included in the plurality of decommissioning related information data based on a database which contains characteristic information and decommissioning plan information of a plurality of nuclear facilities. The method further includes analyzing a state of a decommissioning target facility by identifying the decommissioning target facility based on the plurality of decommissioning related information data and the database, wherein when the error data is included in the plurality of decommissioning related information data, said analyzing is performed by identifying the decommissioning target facility based on the plurality of decommissioning related information data from which the error data is excluded and the database.
