26. ISOE-Europe 3/25/04 26   We know what to do with the Class A and Class B/C waste. None of the waste is unique to decommissioning.   We know how to handle GTCC and Spent Fuel, and what to do with large components.   The new issue is dispositioning the very large volume of potentially clean material.   High cost of surveying, decontaminating materials   No standards for the clearance of potentially contaminated volumetric materials   Routine ALARA programs are adequate for decommissioning, with minor modifications
