Environmental and economic assessment of the application of an optimised chemical decontamination method on the internal surface of a nuclear steam generator by Rachael Clayton, Anthony Banford, Laurence Stamford

“…Initial life cycle assessment (LCA) discovered environmental hotspots in oxalic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and heating requirements, which were significantly reduced by the process developers during optimisation. Incorporating LCA and LCC in the development phase contributed to a reduction in climate change impacts of 45 % (from 971 t CO2 eq. to 532 t CO2 eq. per steam generator) and costs of 13 % (€2.72 M to €2.36 M). …”
