Characterisation principles for soils, buildings and infrastructures contaminated by radionuclides for remediation purposes (ISO 18557:2017)
ISO 18557 presents guidelines for sampling strategies and characterization processes to assess the contamination of soils, buildings and infrastructures, prior to remediation and/or to check that the remediation objectives have been met (final release surveys). The principles presented need to be appropriately graded as regards the specific situations concerned (size, level of contamination?). It can be used in conjunction with each country's key documentation.
ISO 18557 deals with characterization in relation to site remediation. It applies to sites contaminated after normal operation of older nuclear facilities. It could also apply to site remediation after a major accident, and in this case the input data will be linked to the accident involved.
ISO 18557 complements existing standards, notably concerning sampling, sample preservation and their transport, treatment and laboratory measurements, but also those related to in situ chemical and radiological measurements. References in the Bibliography contain links to appropriate documentation and techniques as required by individual member countries.
ISO 18557 does not apply to the following issues: execution of clean-up works, sampling and characterization of waste (conditioned or unconditioned) or to waste packages.
It does not apply to groundwater characterization (saturated zone).
Given the case-by-case nature of site remediation and decommissioning, the principles and guidance communicated in ISO 18557 are intended as general guidance only, not prescriptive requirements.
Charakterisierungsgrundsätze für mit Radionukliden kontaminierte Böden, Gebäude und Infrastrukturen zu Sanierungszwecken (ISO 18557:2017)
Dieses Dokument enthält Richtlinien für Probenahmestrategien und Charakterisierungsverfahren zur Beurteilung der Kontamination von Böden, Gebäuden und Infrastrukturen vor der Sanierung und/oder zur Überprüfung, ob die Sanierungsziele erreicht wurden (Abschlussuntersuchung zur Freigabe). Die dargelegten Grundsätze müssen in Bezug auf die jeweiligen spezifischen Gegebenheiten (Größe, Kontaminationsniveau…) angemessen eingestuft werden. Es kann in Verbindung mit den wesentlichen Regulierungen jedes Landes verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit der Charakterisierung in Bezug auf die Standortsanierung. Es gilt für Standorte, die nach dem normalen Betrieb älterer kerntechnischer Anlagen kontaminiert sind. Es könnte auch für die Standortsanierung nach einem schweren Unfall gelten. In diesem Fall werden die Eingangsdaten mit dem entsprechenden Unfall verknüpft.
Das Dokument ergänzt die bestehenden Normen, insbesondere in Bezug auf Probenahme, Probenkonservierung, -transport, -behandlung und Labormessungen, aber auch jene in Bezug auf chemische und radiologische Vor-Ort-Messungen. Die Verweisungen in den Literaturhinweisen enthalten Links zu geeigneten Unterlagen und Techniken, wie sie von den einzelnen Mitgliedsländern gefordert werden.
Das Dokument gilt nicht für die folgenden Punkte: Durchführung von Sanierungsarbeiten, Probenahme und Charakterisierung von Abfällen (konditioniert oder nicht konditioniert) oder für Abfallgebinde.
Sie gilt nicht für die Grundwassercharakterisierung (gesättigte Zone).
Da die Sanierung und Stilllegung von Standorten auf Fallbasis erfolgt, sind die in diesem Dokument kommunizierten Grundsätze und Leitlinien nur als allgemeine Anleitung und nicht als normative Anforderungen zu verstehen.
Principes de caractérisation des sols, bâtiments et infrastructures contaminés par des radionucléides, à des fins de réhabilitation (ISO 18557:2017)
L'ISO 18557 décrit les principes applicables à une stratégie d'échantillonnage et à un processus de caractérisation visant à évaluer la contamination des sols, bâtiments et infrastructures avant la réhabilitation et/ou à s'assurer que les objectifs de réhabilitation ont bien été atteints (études finales préalables à la libération). Les principes qu'elle énonce doivent être appliqués en rapport avec les situations confrontées (surface contaminée, niveau de contamination, etc.). Ce document peut être utilisé conjointement avec la documentation de référence de chaque pays.
L'ISO 18557 traite de la caractérisation liée à la réhabilitation de site. Il s'applique aux sites contaminés après un soutien opérationnel normal des installations nucléaires plus vieilles. L'ISO 18557 pourra également s'appliquer à une situation de réhabilitation de site consécutive à un accident majeur, auquel cas les données d'entrée seront directement corrélées à l'accident.
L'ISO 18557 vient compléter les normes existantes, notamment en ce qui concerne l'échantillonnage, la conservation et le transport des échantillons, leurs traitements et les mesures en laboratoire, mais aussi en ce qui concerne les mesures chimiques et radiologiques in situ. Les références indiquées à la Bibliographie comportent des liens vers la documentation et les techniques appropriées, conformément aux exigences des différents États membres.
L'ISO 18557 ne s'applique pas aux sujets suivants: réalisation des travaux de réhabilitation, échantillonnage et à caractérisation des déchets (conditionnés ou non conditionnés) ni des colis de déchets.
L'ISO 18557 ne s'applique pas non plus à la caractérisation des eaux souterraines (zone saturée).
En raison de la diversité des situations que recouvrent l'assainissement et le déclassement des sites les principes et les directives communiqués dans ce document relèvent plutôt de directives générales que d'exigences prescriptives.
