RESUMO
The elimination of very low level waste towards the French national repository requires their radiological characterization to estimate the radionuclide inventory and the associated activities within a waste package. Such characterization is performed by means of activation calculations and measurements. Two elimination projects have been identified at CERN, to dispose of bulk metallic waste and cables activated in the CERN accelerator complex. Based on the experience gained over the last 4 years, we develop a large scale elimination process to dispose of such types of activated equipment. A program for quality controls has therefore been developed through a novel software tool whose purpose is to compute the radiological data required by the repository for the acceptance of the waste as well as performing quality controls.
