Decommissioning

Every Dismantled Part Becomes Nuclear Waste — And Must Be Tracked End-to-End

In a nuclear decommissioning project, every single action generates waste: each item has a specific type, form, and regulatory regime. Cutting, removal, decontamination, cleaning, dismantling…

At each stage, you must be able to state:

  • what it is,
  • where it came from,
  • how it was monitored,
  • where it was placed,
  • and which regulatory justifications apply.

Without this, proving the compliance of the final package becomes impossible.
And every gap risks delays, requalification, or ASN findings.

Common field issues

  • Difficult on-site traceability: “This pipe section or plate — where exactly did it come from?”
  • Incomplete characterisation: missing or poorly linked radiological checks
  • Scattered documents: cutting sheets, photos, spectrometry results in different systems
  • Inability to reconstruct a package’s full journey (origin → handling → conditioning)
  • Time lost compiling evidence files to prove compliance

How BROLZ helps

BROLZ provides complete, centralised, and visual traceability for every waste item generated during dismantling operations.

Key features:

  • Create a waste ITEM at the very moment it is generated (removed part, cut section, isolated object…)
  • Immediate association with zone, operation, project, or dismantling batch
  • Recording of radiological checks: contamination, spectrometry, visual inspection, etc.
  • Tracking of handling steps: grouping, conditioning, bagging, drumming
  • Automatic build-up of a structured lifecycle history (who, what, where, when, how)
  • Centralised documents and photos, with exportable compliance dossiers
  • Visualisation of waste flows: by zone, by campaign, by package

What changes with BROLZ

  • Full, reliable traceability from the field onwards
  • Compliance dossiers prepared without chasing scattered documents
  • Elimination of grey areas on waste origin and type
  • Easier coordination between RP, logistics, packaging, and disposal teams
  • Time savings, greater rigour, and stronger credibility during ASN/external audits
