Description
This research is the way that Iraq went to solve one of the difficult problems in the dismantling and decommissioning of its nuclear facilities that were destroyed during the second Gulf war in 1991, where he did not have any experience in dismantling and decommissioning these facilities as well as the shortage of skilled and skilled technical and engineer staff for this purpose and certainly there Another problem is that it does not have a facility for the dumping and disposal of radioactive waste, which must be placed radioactive and contaminated waste that will be generated as a result of the dismantling and decontamination work. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) contributed to the provision of material and technical support in the training of Iraqi technical and engineers. The frequent meetings between the experts of the IAEA and the Iraqi scientists and engineers were excellent to solve many problems; the Iraqi cadres were involved in training courses and workshops in various countries. Global nuclear specialist, such as Belgium's Belgo Processes where the company was credited with training the technical staff on the use of diamond wire, which was applied in the cutting of hot cells, Work began in a low radioactive pollution facilities and the aim was to train technical personnel for the purpose of gradation to reach the most complex facilities and radioactive pollution. The work started in 2008 in a facility in the center of Baghdad, which was used for the purpose of producing yellow cake in a populated area. As well as the radioactive isotope production facility and then the Tammuz-2 reactor was dismantled or work is continuing to dismantle the rest of the nuclear facilities at the site of Al-Tuwaitha nuclear.
