Randomized trial identifies and reduces high-dose activation products in nuclear plant materials, suggesting simpler decommissioning.

This research aims to identify and eliminate high-dose activation products in nuclear power plant materials to streamline decommissioning processes.
Developed a simple MCNP model to analyze activation products from structural materials in a molten salt reactor.
Ranked elements by their potential to generate high-dose activation products.
Discussed strategies for eliminating or reducing problematic activation products.
Identified a limited number of elements responsible for high-dose activation products.
Eliminating these elements can significantly reduce the need for the dormancy period post-decommissioning.
Potentially simplified decommissioning, saving time and resources.
