Currently, the primary disposal method for radioactive components from the operation of nuclear facilities is the packaging in suitable final disposal containers with subsequent final disposal. To save resources, costs and time, it is always advisable to consider alternative disposal methods (e.g. specific or unrestricted release). In particular, melting of components in external disposal facilities can be beneficial, leading to a reduction in the volume of radioactive waste.
