Abstract
In situ decommissioning (ISD) is a radical approach to the disposal of nuclear reactors by burying them on-site beneath a mound of suitable material. The engineering and construction of the mound is dealt with and the selection of suitable material. The radiological impact of lea ving radioactive materials on-site is studied and it is concluded that ISD could be a solution for some sites.
