"Now is a time of major change in energy supply due to the need to move towards a low carbon economy to reduce CO2 output dramatically. Energy will include papers on both new low carbon energy technologies, which are developing rapidly, and on existing technologies, which are evolving to meet the twin requirements of greater efficiency of conversion and reduction in carbon output."
Energy is a vital addition to the suite of ICE Proceedings, addressing the challenges of energy engineering in the 21st century.
Energy publishes groundbreaking papers on energy provision by leading figures in industry and academia and provides a unique forum for discussion on everything from underground coal gasification to the practical implications of biofuels. The journal is a key resource for engineers and researchers working to meet the challenges of energy engineering. Topics addressed include:
development of sustainable energy policy
energy efficiency in buildings, infrastructure and transport systems
renewable energy sources
operation and decommissioning of projects
energy conservation

The complexity of components from nuclear installations requiring dismantling or decontamination is enormous, as is the number of approved and available techniques. To choose the ideal dismantling technique, a number of complex parameters have to be considered. The most important criteria are costs, the amount and kind of radioactivity involved, aspects of radiation protection, the kind of material to be treated, geometries and spatial accessibility. Based on these criteria, appropriate decontamination or dismantling processes are selected. Starting with a description of decommissioning projects in Germany, this paper then describes various decommissioning concepts and gives an overview of the management of materials and waste. A selection of techniques is presented and new developments and applications are described. The conclusion considers future developments in the area of nuclear power plant decommissioning in general.
