Webinar: Sustainable decommissioning - what, why, how? - YouTube
Whether in nuclear, oil & gas or other heavy industries, more and more assets are reaching end of commercial operations. While at the same time, it has become apparent that decommissioning – and managing the resulting wastes – rarely is straight forward. By recognizing that decommissioning is not a traditional, linear process – but rather a complex adaptive system – this conundrum has a clear solution: Approach an asset's end-of-life as a sustainability problem – not an engineering problem. By drawing on examples both in nuclear and oil & gas, this webinar will highlight why current practices are unsustainable. An alternative approach will be explored – a holistic approach that is integrated, inclusive and adaptive. The benefits of which include less waste, lower costs, higher public acceptance and reduced risk of long delays or dead ends. Not to mention, the potential for increased safety – both for workers and the public.
