The book presents best practices by analyzing errors and inadequacies, leading the reader to sound decision-making. Volume 6 also includes the author's conclusive judgment on the overall sustainability of nuclear decommissioning. This volume recaps all components and issues of decommissioning reviewed in this and the first five volumes taking account of the holistic approach to decommissioning sustainability. Similar to all volumes, decommissioning experts, including regulators, operators, waste managers, researchers, and academics, will find this sixth and final volume suitable to provide a path forward to ensuring full sustainability to the decommissioning industry.
