STRATEGIST, a data analysis & sampling design web tool for radiological characterization

Proper physical, radiological and chemical characterization of nuclear plant areas are a necessary precondition to successfully select viable dismantling methodologies and classify and segregate the different impacted (e.g., contaminated, activated) zones and materials. Acting on the upstream stage of the dismantling process is fundamental for an adequate management of all waste categories. As such, initial characterization is an essential part
